Following on from last week's podcast which gave some expert advice on preparing to take a month off drinking, this podcast is all about giving you some valuable tools that you might need to sustain your month off booze. Now that we've reached the second week of January, it's easy to take a successful first week and tell ourselves it's all about willpower, or luck. But as Laura says,
'You don't need luck to change your drinking, as that implies that willpower and wishful thinking are enough. What you really need is to plan, to learn, to surround yourself with people who are doing something similar. You need to immerse yourself in your intentions.'
The key learning here is that everything you learn as you move through your drinking journey, whether it's linear, sporadic, monthly, or several attempts later, improves your self-efficacy and your ability to get back on the horse.
This conversation was recorded back in October 2021 as part of our Global Mindful Drinking Festival, and features an expert panel of people who have real life experience of using these tips and tricks to overcome their own problem drinking. The panel is made up of Lisa Ellsworth from Bee Sober, Irene Falcone from Sans Drinks, an Australian alcohol-free bottle shop, drinking coach Sober Dave, and Maz Compton, author, TV & Radio presenter. Here are their killer tips to keep you motivated on your own month off booze.
