‘A Month of Sobriety’ is where it’s at. Weight loss, energy boost, healthy glowing skin —you name it. Who’s in for a healthier, happier, and hotter you? Let’s do this! 

Absolutely, preparing for a Sober October  can be both manageable and rewarding. We will be discussing all of this on our zoom calls, but here are some points to help you get ready: 

1. Set Clear Goals: Define what you want to achieve during Sober October. Whether it’s weight loss, improved energy levels, better sleep, or saving money, having clear goals will motivate you throughout the month.
2. Plan Ahead: Planning is key. Organize your schedule for the month, including work, family commitments, and any social events. Allocate time for self-care and activities that will support your alcohol-free journey.
3. Communicate Your Intentions: Let your family and close friends know about your decision to go alcohol-free for the month. Their support and understanding will be crucial during social gatherings and events.
4. Stock Up on Non-Alcoholic Alternatives: Fill your home with a variety of non-alcoholic drinks that you enjoy. This could be sparkling water, herbal teas, mocktails, or alcohol-free beer or wine. Having these on hand will reduce cravings.
5. Explore New Recipes: Get excited about trying out new alcohol-free recipes. Experiment with making your own mocktails or preparing delicious, healthy meals. 
6. Be part of our Supportive Community: Join in on the daily what’s app group and weekly zoom calls. Sharing experiences and tips with like-minded individuals can be motivating.
7. Practice Stress Management: I will be sharing stress-relieving techniques like yoga, meditation, deep breathing. I encourage you to exercise regularly this month chose activities you enjoy whether it is a quick walk outdoors or taking up a dance class. Managing stress is essential to avoid turning to alcohol for comfort.
8. Create Reward Milestones: Set small milestones throughout the month and plan non-alcoholic rewards for yourself when you reach them. I call these “Healthy Treats”.  It could be a spa day, a new book, or a fun day outing.
9. Prepare for Cravings: Understand that cravings may occur, especially in social situations. Have a plan for dealing with these cravings—whether it’s a distraction, a non-alcoholic beverage, or a reminder of your goals. 
10. Delegate Responsibilities: Delegate and share the load to free up time for self-care and maintaining your commitment to Sober October.
11. Prioritize Self-Care: Make self-care a non-negotiable part of your routine. Whether it’s a warm bath, a good book, or some quiet time, taking care of yourself will help you stay focused and committed.
12. Track Your Progress: Keep a journal to document your journey throughout the month. Note any changes you observe in your mood, energy levels, and overall well-being.
13. Be Kind to Yourself: Understand that it’s okay to have challenging days. Be gentle with yourself and celebrate your successes, no matter how small. 

We will be discussing all of the above on our zoom calls.  With all the chaos of a busy life, it’s easy to forget about taking care of yourself. But this, this is your chance to hit the reset button.

Remember, Sober October is an opportunity to invest in your health and well-being. With a little planning and determination, you can successfully navigate this month and experience the positive impacts of an alcohol-free lifestyle. 

A few more things to gather up…. a yoga mat, cosy blanket, massage oil, candles, essential oils, sage/incense if you like as well. A foam roller and ball and handy to have to roll out any aches and pains. This is your time so make yourself comfortable whatever way suits you best. Gather up some recipe books with some new healthy snacks to try and mocktails.

I will send out the zoom link before we get started and we can chat so we are ready before Sober October begins.

Cheers, Jennifer
