Tribe Sober - Your guide to alcohol-free living!
After running Tribe Sober for 5 years and helping hundreds of people to ditch the drink and embrace alcohol-free living I've learned a thing or two. My biggest insight has been that sharing our stories around alcohol is the most powerful way we can help others - that's why the heart of this podcast is recovery stories.
In this episode I interview Chez. Chez heard about Tribe Sober on the radio and although she didn't actually do anything for a while the seed had been planted - and in 2018 she signed up for our Sober Spring Challenge.
In this Episode
- Chez thought that the only two options to help her stop drinking were AA and rehab - she had tried rehab and didn't want to go to AA
- Then she heard about Tribe Sober and the 66 day Sober Spring Challenge which appealed to her
- The 66 day period intrigued her so she did some research and discovered that one can change a habit during this period
- Chez signed up and completed 66 alcohol free days - it was really hard to start with but she kept going and towards the end of the challenge she felt a "shift"
- She then began to feel amazing - reduced anxiety, better sleep - so many benefits - including feeling much closer to her teenage son
- She loved the Sober Spring WhatsApp group and the connection on there - she still has some friends made through doing the challenge
- After the 66 days she felt great - really motivated - and was convinced she could continue with her alcohol free life on her own
- But she couldn't - started having the odd glass of wine and it crept up again
- So she became a Tribe Sober member and has never looked back - for Chez it's all about being in a community of like minded people - that's what keeps her on track
- Chez was diagnosed as bi-polar some years ago - but her medication never seemed to work - she now realises that the alcohol was preventing it from working
- She urges people to give Sober Spring Challenge a try - there is nothing to lose and so much to gain
