In this special solo episode of No More Booze, I celebrate my seven-year journey of living alcohol-free. Reflecting on my personal evolution, I open up about the profound changes I’ve experienced since ditching the booze on July 4th, 2018. I details the highs and lows of sobriety, addressing questions from listeners on friendships, identity shifts and coping mechanisms without alcohol. I share insights, lessons learned and the beautiful joys of a life filled with clarity, authenticity and emotional growth.

I end the show with some really powerful questions to ponder if you're sober curious and 10 mindset shifts that will help you embrace an alcohol free life more easily

Today, I’m joined by someone whose work has transformed thousands of lives across the globe—Veronica Valli. Veronica is a psychotherapist, sobriety coach and the host of the brilliant Soberful podcast. She’s also the author of several groundbreaking books on sobriety and emotional recovery.

Veronica is changing the narrative on sobriety. Continuously sober since May 2nd, 2000, and with over 22 years of experience as a recovery coach and psychotherapist, she understands that there is no ONE path to recovery. We talk about moderation, emotional sobriety, FOMO and regulating ourselves, among other things! Listen and absorb the wisdom Veronica has accumulated over the past 25 years.

Author of the award winning book ‘Soberful: Uncover a Sustainable, fulfilling life free of alcohol’ published by Sounds True, and co-host of the Soberful Podcast, Veronica has helped thousands of women not only recover from alcohol but also transform their lives.

Veronica understands that getting sober is 10% not drinking and 90% emotional sobriety. She helps her clients to not just stop drinking but to build amazing sober lives they love.

Veronica works with women and men all over the world through her successful and innovative online recovery programs. Now based in the US after relocating from the UK, she is married and lives in Alabama, with her husband and two sons

When it comes to changing your relationship with alcohol, you don't need to have it all figured out. You just need to be willing to START.

This week on No More Booze, I chat with

@lukejonescoaching - someone who embodies gradual change. We talk about how he gently, incrementally moved along the stages of change - not with a dramatic rock bottom moment, but with quiet awareness, small shifts and consistency based on a few pivotal moments.

We chat about how he built a life that supports his sobriety - not overnight, but over time. He has trained as a Coach and an NLP Master Practitioner and now he empowers other dads to break free from old habits, reclaim their energy and build lives full of purpose— without losing their sense of fun.

Enjoy!

We chat about that moment so many of us have —THE CLICK— when you just know you're done with booze.
We talk about what happens when you surrender to the process of change and how that can be the most freeing, powerful thing. There's so much possibility that alcohol free living generates- better relationships, more energy for your kids, new job possibilities and a sense of peace you didn't even know you were missing. We also get into moderation and why it's not possible for a huge chunk of people. This one is deeply honest and hugely inspiring. Enjoy!

This week we have the incredible Transformation Coach Amy Kiernan @heycoachamy

In this episode we ask different questions about ourselves, specifically around Identity.

Instead of asking questions like ‘is the booze really serving me anymore’ we can begin to ask questions along the lines of:

‘What do I want out of my life?’

‘What’s important to me?

‘What do I believe in?’

‘What do I like most about the world?’

We talk about change, how to recognise when we need to change and how mantras like 'I create my own world view, I create my own perspective' can help us carve out a new identity.
