It is October and what better time of year than for a sober month? Sober October.

-:

I mean, it even rolls off the tongue this time of year.

Perhaps the summer has caught up with us a bit.

what we want next before the next holiday season is upon us.

-:

Today I've got five tips for a fabulous sober October for you.

-:

Number one, let's focus on autumn activities that don't revolve around alcohol.

-:

Take a beat and think about what you really want this month.

-:

Would you like to enjoy some family walks, some breakfast dates, some trips out to see the turning leaves, or perhaps hunker

-:

down for some hot chocolate and movies together?

-:

Number two, make sure you plan and take fancy alcohol free drinks to any harvest or Halloween parties that are coming up this month.

-:

Just because people are serving alcohol it does not mean that you have to drink it.

-:

And of course you can have a fabulous night out without it.

-:

Make sure you go to your local supermarket and check out the now really nice alcohol free and low alcohol selections that are there on the shelves. Number three.

-:

Use this period to get ahead on your wellness goals.

-:

Do think to yourself, summer is over.

-:

I'm just going to hunker down and slip into winter mode.

-:

Of course you can eat well, you can move your body well, you can stay hydrated.

-:

Number four, Focus on everything that you gain by not drinking.

-:

The great sleep, no hangovers and feeling fresh every morning. Know oh this is number five. Sorry and the last one.

-:

Know that many others are making this fabulous choice alongside you.

-:

Sobriety really is a growing and joyful option.

-:

You can find so many people out there who are now living a really exciting life and they just happen not to be drinkers. Isn't that fabulous? Thank you for listening in today.

About the Podcast

Drink Less; Live Better
Sober strategies, alcohol free living ideas and mindful drinking advice
THIS is the magic place where doubt, hope and action meet!

Let's find JOY and COLOUR on the other side of alcohol!

We don't have to hit rock bottom, we're allowed to want something different and we CAN choose to improve our lives from this point onwards. ​

Sarah was 40 and reconsidering her relationship with alcohol. ​ ​

She was tired and overwhelmed; she'd got a lot on her mind and a glass of wine or a G and T at the end of the day seemed like a treat or escape but... deep down she knew she wasn't doing herself any favours with this habit. ​ ​

Are you thinking about drinking less? ​ Sarah brings you tips, advice, motivation and believes that the changes we bring into our lives when we choose to be alcohol free are worth celebrating and shouting about (she also believes in YOU)!​

Sarah Williamson retired from drinking alcohol in 2019 and now uses her extensive coaching and mentoring experience to help and support others to do the same!
