    66 Days Sober Challenge - Day 66
    Nov 5 2020

    This is a series of 66 mini podcasts - to support you through a 66 day alcohol free challenge.

    The challenge lasts for 66 days because that's how long it takes to change a habit.

    We have published an e-book called "66 days to sobriety" (available on our website https://www.tribesober.com) - this book contains 66 pages of tips, tools and motivation so I will read a page a day for these mini podcasts.

    I will also update you on the healing taking place in your body and mind as you progress through the 66 days.

    What to drink when you don't drink As you progress through your alcohol free journey hopefully you are experimenting and discovering your “go to” drinks. Whether you are at home or out on the town you need to have some choice. Drinking at home is easier as at least you can scour the supermarkets and stock up on delicious juices, cordials and tonic waters. Lautus de-alcoholised wine and Duchess virgin G & T will deliver to your door. Make sure your fridge is always full of lovely AF choices so you won’t feel you are missing out. When you are out and about you need to avoid the “panic at the bar” syndrome – it can hit the moment you walk into a bar and are asked what you would like to drink. If you are not prepared, your mind goes blank, your throat goes dry – and the pressure builds as everyone waits for you to decide. Always have your “go-to” drink in mind when you go out. Even if it’s just an AF beer or a tonic water with ice that’s fine and will get you through. Your objective is to avoid drinking alcohol. If the bar does cocktails then ask for a mocktail – there are plenty of lovely bar staff that are delighted to do something different rather than produce endless glasses of wine and beer! If you know where you are going then check out the drinks online – you might even discover something interesting that will make your boozy pals jealous!

    66 Days Sober Challenge - Day 65

    Lets Get Motivated! I first came across the various theories of motivation during my studies and often had an opportunity to put them into practice during my career as an HR executive. There are two kinds of motivators: internal (also called intrinsic) and external (or extrinsic). Internal means being motivated to do things for their own sake - you’ve decided that you want to take a break from alcohol, and you strongly want to achieve your goal. External motivators include rewards and potential punishments or other pressures outside of yourself. The thinking is that “intrinsic” motivators are more powerful than “extrinsic” – the HR example would be that an employee will feel more motivated if she finds the nature of her work interesting than if she is paid a high salary (although its nice to have both of course ;-) The moral of this HR lecture is that you should be using both kinds of motivators to keep you on track…for example:- You may have decided to ditch the drink (for a while at least) because you hit “rock bottom” – this kind of experience can be a powerful intrinsic motivator. Write down the story of what happened and how you felt about it – and read it often as you progress through your alcohol free time. The extrinsic motivators are all about the treats, the rewards, the tracking Apps, the weight loss, the clear skin, bright eyes and better sleep! The prospect of having to confess to your WhatsApp buddies that you fell off the wagon also counts as an extrinsic motivator!

    What Will People Say? This worry keeps so many of us trapped for years… Alcohol really is the “only drug we have to justify not taking” isn’t it? Telling people we have stopped drinking (even if only for a while) is not easy – we are peeling off from the “herd” and making ourselves vulnerable. People love to zone in on, look you in the eyes and ask you if you have stopped because you have a “problem”… The ones who will give you the hardest time are the ones that are aware that they are drinking too much themselves - and are worried that if you are sober you might just notice! That’s where this Sober Challenge can help – you have a ready answer to the inevitable “what do you mean you’re not drinking? You are “doing a WWW Sober challenge” – (along with a lot of other cool people ;-) Some of us drank quite heavily when we were young because it felt a bit “edgy and rebellious” – well alcohol has become so “normalized” in society these days that its far from rebellious to drink – in fact it’s more like becoming “one of the sheep”… So make a stand – be a rebel – ditch the drink! (even if only for 66 days!)
