How Michael Jordan helped me to quit drinking is something I write about in my book and I thought it would be good to share a little snippet of this with you today. Because it literally shifted everything for me and helped me to quit drinking and feel good about it with no worry or fear that I would pick it up again, which is very powerful, I know.

 What I am going to share with you today is also the reason that I am over five years alcohol free, feel 100% secure and confident that I will stay alcohol-free, and have been able to face life and the awful events of the past few months without the thought of alcohol entering my head, even the tiniest little bit. I hope you enjoy this inspiring and hopefully motivating poddcast episode to help you to quit drinking and feel good about it.

Sobriety & Suicide - The Podcast I didn't want to make, yet I feel is necessary. I have not shared anything new with you for two months because I’ve been in a very difficult place, trying to cope with the unimaginable loss of my son. As the title suggests, this is a podcast about loss and love, suicide and sobriety, extremely hard things to talk about, but I feel that it is my duty to talk about them.

This is a very distressing sbject, so please listen with caution and if you feel triggered by the content or it affects you in any way then please get support. I don’t want to burden anyone with this or cause pain. However, I do feel like I am being blocked somehow by this and need to get it out in order to move through and forward.

This won’t be a neat and tidy podcast, with helpful hints for you take away, it’s not that kind of podcast, but I do hope that by sharing my experiences it will help you to see that there is another way, various ways in fact to deal with life, to cope with tragic, heartbreaking events, tend to our emotions and find tiny moments of comfort in what is otherwise and impossible situation.

Alcohol is not the way, not the way at all and I am extremely grateful for my sobriety, without which I would not be here now, there’s no way I would be still upright if I was drinking.

** At the beginning I say two weeks - it should be two months. And, when I say 2003, I mean 2023 (fuzzy brain!)

Writing Your Recovery with Ann Dowsett Johnston. I am beyond excited to share this podcast interview with the absolutely lovely Ann Dowsett Johnston. If you don’t know, Ann is an award-winning journalist and bestselling author of ‘Drink: The Intimate Relationship between Women and Alcohol’ which is still as relevant today as when Ann wrote it, ten years ago. Ann is an amazing woman who has helped to transform lives, through her writing, with her work on removing the stigma surrounding mental illness and addiction and most recently in her role as a psychotherapist. This is a wonderful conversation and I am incredibly grateful to Ann for sticking with me as she had a terrible cold that day. Ann and I discuss the pinking of the market by the alcohol companies; the normalising of what Ann calls the modern woman’s steroid, and the risky drinking by intelligent, successful women. We also talked about Ann’s book, Ann's personal story about hr own drinking and how she quit, the healing power of writing in recovery, and how you can be supported by Ann and other women on the same journey as you in Ann’s nourishing and incredibly healing, ‘Writing your Recovery’ course. Ann shares some of her other tools on how to change your relationship with alcohol both in the early days and long term and we also get an insight into Ann’s new book. So, grab a cuppa, settle in and enjoy.

Positive self-talk in sobriety is a powerful thing because words really can harm or heal. How we treat ourselves and how we talk to ourselves affects how we feel about ourselves. And, if we can change the way we feel about ourselves then there is no stopping us. This podcast is going to help you to change the way you feel about yourself, which will change what you believe can be possible for you. In terms of sobriety, this is the difference between feeling good and being miserable. And this life-changing transformation starts with the practice of positive self-talk, it’s that powerful!

Change your thinking, change your drinking is a powerful concept.  This podcast episode is going to help you see how your thoughts have been affecting your behaviour and emotion and perhaps keeping you stuck in the negative thinking loop and therefore stuck in the drinking loop too. By simply changing your thinking though, you can literally change everything, including your drinking.

You will discover
How your thoughts have formed your beliefs
Your thoughts and therefore your beliefs are not necessarily the truth
How to find evidence to support more positive thoughts
How to stop negative thoughts from bringing you down
practical tips to encourage more positive thinking
Simple daily activities to change your mindset for powerful results

This podcast, which you can listen to below, has been inspired by some conversations I’ve been having with my one-to-one clients lately so listen in for a taste of what coaching with me feels like and be prepared to change how you think, and consequently feel, about quitting drinking.

January is a really good month to ease into sobriety.  And not because we have magical powers on January first that allow us to suddenly be able to build new habits, and not because everyone else is doing a dry January but because January is a nice month, I feel, to slow down, take it easy and find your way. January can feel like an awful month to do this, if you’re in the northern hemisphere, it is cold and wet, grey and miserable, you might be recovering from Christmas and feeling a bit sad to be leaving the magic and sparkle of the holidays behind. But it is for the same reason, that January can be a perfect month for your sober journey.

It is about going inwards, building a strong foundation, leaning into discomfort, tuning into to what is working for us as individuals and finding our way. The only way to do that is to take your time, do the work on yourself, dig deep, and yes take it slowly and ease into things.

This is how I embraced my own sober journey and I'm here to help you do the same.

I share my top tips and how taking it slowly can help you to ease into your sobriety and have a joyful January.

The fourth and final podcast episode in this mini festive series, helping you plan the most magical AF Christmas ever!

How did you get on yesterday with identifying the things that might get in the way of you enjoying an alcohol-free festive season? 

By now you should be aware of the role that alcohol really plays in our festive season, what you want to do over the holidays and things that might get in the way of you achieving this.

Today we’re going to look at how to begin to plan, prepare and navigate those issues – so you can stay on track and feel good through the holidays.

The first thing is to remember why you are doing this. What does it mean to you to stay alcohol-free these holidays?

There are more practical tips in the podcast to help you to start to build your festive sober toolkit.

Episode three in our four part mini series, helping you to have a magical AF Christmas. This podcast will guide you through an exercise that will help you to get clear on what might get in the way of you enjoying the festive season sober.

Now, I know this is not as fun as yesterday's exercise but it is equally as important.

Because, if we know exactly what might trigger us into drinking (even when we really don't want to) and why these people, places, events, or feelings are so challenging for us, then we can put steps in place to help us through them.

Take your time with this and don't forget if you need more support, I am here for you.

Welcome to episode 2 of our 4 part Christmas mini series - Creating your own magic at Christmas. Instead of thinking about how you might ‘get through’ Christmas or all the reasons why it might be easier to just drink in order to manage the festive season, I want you to really dig deep now and tap into what it is you really want, how you want to feel, and what it means to you to be alcohol-free doing all the things you want to do.

If you know me, you'll know that I love visualization and vision boards. Having a clear picture, a dream, a vision of what it is you actually want and most importantly, how you want to feel is hugely inspirational and will help you to stay true to yourself.

So what do you actually want?

The words I hear most often when it comes to quitting drinking are, "I'll stop drinking when..."
When, at some unknown point in the future, everything is just right, all your ducks are in a row, the stars are aligned and your fridge is stocked with all the chocolate and AF drinks it can hold.

The trouble with waiting until everything is just right is that you are waiting, usually, a long time, to start living. I waited five years! When you wait, you are delaying peace, freedom and the life you deserve. This episode dives deep into what happens when you don't wait, how to take the leap in a way that feels good even if you are scared, and the magic that happens when you do.

Today I want to talk about one very specific thing when it comes to quitting drinking and that is - fear.

At this time of year [Halloween] we’re scaring ourselves silly and doing things that perhaps we wouldn’t usually do, things that take us out of our comfort zone, things that leave us feeling exhilarated and alive, when we do embrace our fears, push past the scary feelings and do it anyway.

Yet when it comes to quitting drinking, or anything new or different in our lives, we allow fear to hold us back instead of propelling us forward like we do on Halloween.

I did that for the longest time, even though I wanted to quit drinking, When I thought of sobriety I felt afraid. Perhaps you do too. After all, if drinking has been such a huge part of your life, the thought of never drinking again, ever, can be terrifying. But are you willing to keep letting your fear of sobriety, your fear of the unknown and what your life could look like, keep you stuck?

Some serious questions to ponder and practical and powerful techniques to help you move past your fear and embrace the unknown wonder that is sobriety feeling exhilarated and excited.

Are you ready for the scariest step of your life? Of course, you are!

This week's podcast guest is such a joy! I had the pleasure of chatting to Claire Comai who is the founder and creative energy behind Rehab Studios, a really exciting Brooklyn-based fashion label inspired by stories of recovery from alcohol addiction and mental illness.

The Rehab Studios brand and designs are inspired by Claire's own struggles with alcohol and drug addiction, which dominated her life until age 24.

Now three years sober, Claire channeled the energy and restlessness she felt during early sobriety into building Rehab Studios (and other amazing experiences which you'll learn about in the podcast!)

This is such a fun conversation and if you thought that being sober was dull or boring, then Claire will show you that sobriety is what you make it and in her case - about as far removed from dull as you can get!

In this episode, I explore why it is that we so often push our dreams and desires to the bottom of the list and whether intentionally or not, we choose to do something, anything, other than the things we really want to do. What are the reasons why we put off doing the things we most want to do, the things that really light us up and bring us joy?

It doesn’t matter if it’s quitting drinking, writing a book, learning to skate, or starting an exercise practice, why are our excuses so often stronger than our desires and why do we let them run the show?

This episode is taking an honest look at ourselves without judgment and asking "what are you choosing, really?"

While it might be painful to look at it, once we know what is going on behind the scenes, or under the surface, we can then begin to do something about it.

And it all starts with one simple thing........

The best thing you can do for yourself if you want to stop drinking

This podcast is a bit of a reflective episode that happens with the changing of the seasons, especially as we approach autumn and winter. This is my favourite part of the year as I can genuinely slow down, take things easy and retreat if I want to. It was during an early morning of reflection on being kind to ourselves, and the role that plays in sobriety, it got me thinking about why we resist doing the things that bring us joy. Why do we only feel ‘deserving and worthy’ of, say an extra hour in bed or a soothing walk along the beach when we’re ill or are making a special effort to be kind to ourselves, and why it has everything to do with why we drink and, therefore has everything to do with how we can stop drinking.

Often we start our sobriety journey full of hope, motivation, and inspiration but can struggle when being sober feels hard, which it often does, because, well that’s life! There will be difficult times to negotiate, challenges to overcome, and hard days to get through. Maybe we get bored or the whole thing feels boring. Perhaps we are feeling good and the thought of celebrating or enjoying happy times without alcohol feels the hardest of them all.

Staying on track and keeping that inspiration and motivation flowing, means turning to your tools and leaning into what you know works for you which will carry you through until you come out the other side because you will.

I want to help you find the magic of sobriety and get back on track. I want to help you take that first step with the tools, guidance, and support you need to feel magical in sobriety.

October is just around the corner, the most magical time of year, and there is no better time to reconnect to the magic within and feel good again in sobriety.
