Episode 61 - I'VE HAD NO ALCOHOL FOR ALMOST THREE YEARS- HERE'S HOW AND WHY

Janet Gourand (Sobriety Advocate & Recovery Coach), who runs
the brilliant online community portal, Tribe Sober, joined me to
talk about the 2022 Dry January challenge. See whether you can go
alcohol free for 30 days; you may just like it! It runs for any
30 consecutive days of your choice between now until end of
January. Get an early start. 

You will get online daily support and, in turn, you have a chance
to change the lives of children living under conditions of
poverty and other hardships across Cape Town, by donating to the
Earthchild Project. For just R250 you can sponsor one child to be
part of a transformational one year leadership programme
including yoga (which has been amazing for many of these children
who do not always get to experience peace), and in turn you will
get daily virtual support for 30 days as you experiment with
sobriety.

I did so a few years ago just to help raise money for this
brilliant project. And I liked the sober curiosity so much that I
stayed dry!

In this podcast Janet and I also talk you through the challenges
(we've been there), as well as the benefits of choosing sobriety,
and give many tips on how to deal with the ridiculousness of
being expected to justify not drinking alcohol. 

Do share this podcast widely as it may save someone's life-
whether they simply wish to cut down on the amount they drink or
seeking a safe online community to help, perhaps for the first
time, to deal with alcohol abuse that had gone unacknowledged
till now. Tribe Sober is a safe space.
