Tribe Sober - Your guide to alcohol-free living!
After running Tribe Sober for 5 years and helping hundreds of people to ditch the drink and embrace alcohol-free living I've learned a thing or two. My biggest insight has been that sharing our stories around alcohol is the most powerful way we can help others - that's why the heart of this podcast is recovery stories.
In this episode I interview an important member of our Tribe Sober team - Lynette Le Roux. She came along to a workshop a few years ago, ditched the drink and then qualified as a coach so she could help others change their relationship with alcohol.
In this Episode
- Lynette explains how her drinking gradually became problematic for her due to stress at work
- The workshop enabled her to stop drinking for 3 months but then she decided she could have "a glass of wine"
- She talks to us about how that "glass of wine" escalated to vodka drinking
- In spite of returning to drinking she kept connected to Tribe Sober and eventually got back on track and stayed alcohol free.
- Benefits of sobriety for Lynette included getting her energy back, feeling alive again - and full of joy.
- We then talked about coaching - a thinking space to clarify our needs and purpose - your coach is your thinking partner
- She believes that everything we do in life (or don't do) is because of how we feel
- She recommends journalling as well as coaching to get in touch with how we are really feeling
- Lynette asks us to get curious about our cravings - what do we really want? what else would make us feel better?
- "Don't lose yourself looking for that buzz" - she says "what you are really looking for is connection"
- She recommends that people use journalling and coaching to help them apply the techniques they learnt on the workshop
