Really excited for everyone starting their sober journey - this is the best decision for your well-being you will EVER make. Throughout October I’ll be giving tips on sobriety… here are three to start…

1. TRIGGERS… Be prepared - know what triggers your drinking.

2. MINDSET… Change your mindset - you are a non-drinker. You’re not trying to be one!

3. CRAVINGS… Learn how to deal with cravings. They only last a minute. Look at them as waves crashing on a beach. Surf the urge.

The first section of my best-selling quit lit book, Walking Back To Happiness The Secret To Alcohol-free Living & Well-being, is all about how to get through the first few days and weeks.

A Bit About Triggers…

Look at drinking alcohol as being part of a Habit Loop. There are three parts to the loop, which offer the key to deciphering how and why habits develop.

The first part or the cue, sometimes called the reminder, is the trigger that kicks off the habitual behaviour. Cues take the brain into a form of cruise control that prompts routine behaviours, or habits, that vary widely. They can take a lot of different forms and fall into several categories. The cues that triggered my habit of alcohol consumption were:

TYPE OF TRIGGER

SPECIFIC TRIGGERS/CUES

Location - The village pub, restaurants, cinema, train stations, trains, airports, planes

Time - 6pm weekdays, lunchtime weekends, end of working day

Current Emotional State - Stressed, anxious, happy, celebratory

People Around Me - Work colleagues, clients, friends

My Last Action - After playing golf or playing any sport, after a long drive in the car

Write down your triggers… If you are sober curious and you feel you need support to get through Sober October please get in touch to find out more about my sober coaching and hypnotherapy sessions to help you massively improve your mental and physical well-being.
