Tribe Sober - inspiring an alcohol-free life!
Welcome to our very first "Sober Short" - an interim mini podcast to supplement the weekly Tribe Sober podcast.
I’m going to kick off this series by taking you through our Tribe Sober Toolkit – this toolkit is just one of the things that we share with you during our regular Zoom workshops – click here for more info.
Our workshops have been a gamechanger for many people so if you want to kickstart your sober journey then sign up today
In this episode
Once your drinking has crossed a line you need to connect with others on the same path…
If you are wondering whether you have crossed this imaginary line then try to drink within the “low risk limits” of one and a half bottles of wine a week – or 6 beers – if you can’t then you probably need to make some changes
Giving up alcohol is a lonely path – it has been completely normalised in our society and the peer pressure is strong…
It’s the only drug we need to justify NOT taking so you need to find your people
People like you who understand that “no you cant just drink less, or drink more slowly or have one glass”
People who are or were in exactly the same place so they “get you”
Like many women I was ashamed of my little problem – and I was also totally reluctant to let the wine go completely
Of course now I understand that was an impossible dream and if I could give one piece of advice to anyone considering their relationship with alcohol it would be:-
Admittedly you will have to work out HOW to live without your best friend but that’s where we come in.
I’m not the only one who wasted time trying to control an addictive drug – a recent study by the Tempest – 11 years
Always remember that people who CAN moderate just do it – alcohol is not even on their radio and they certainly won’t be listening to this podcast!
When I finally reached out and got some help I realized that I was not alone, I was not broken, there was nothing wrong with me – I was just one of the 20% of social drinkers who had become dependent over the years..
So that’s your Sober Short for today – Top Tool from our Sober Toolbox – work your tribe
