Your Sober October Game Plan: 5 Things That Actually Help

The No More Wasted Days Podcast

Show Notes

Thinking about doing Sober October? Before you rely on willpower and hope for the best, there are a few things that can make the month a whole lot easier.

In this episode, I share 5 practical ways to set yourself up for a successful alcohol-free month, including how to plan for your usual drinking window, handle the inevitable mental negotiations, replace the rituals alcohol used to fill, and start paying attention to what you're gaining instead of simply counting the days. Sober October isn't about proving you can survive 31 days without drinking. It's an opportunity to get curious about your relationship with alcohol and discover what changes when you give yourself some space from it.
