Tribe Sober - inspiring an alcohol free life!

Why YOU should join Tribe Sober's Bali Retreat... with Coach Lynette

Tribe Sober is celebrating their 10 year Anniversary with a 7-day Retreat...in Bali
The retreat will be a:
Transformational Experience: We’ll be focussing on creating meaningful, life-changing experiences that expand comfort zones and foster personal growth.
Opportunity to connect with your purpose and embrace your aliveness,
Its Open to All ladies: with a (minimum of one month of sobriety) and also those without alcohol issues who simply wish to refresh and recharge…
Lynette's Story and Inspiration:
Lynette shared her transition from an unfulfilled, alcohol-dependent lifestyle to a purposeful, vibrant life as a coach and island resident.
Bali has been on her bucket list for years 
We discuss the Retreat Benefits:
Sobriety Milestones: Ideal for those looking to consolidate their alcohol free lifestyle and reward their sobriety journey while exploring what’s next.
Personal Growth: Discover inner sparks, overcome "blah" feelings, and step into the next stage of personal transformation.
Coaching: Each attendee receives a one-hour coaching session for reflection, goal setting, and actionable insights.
Lynette took us through the Retreat Activities:
Daily Yoga and Relaxation: Gentle, optional yoga and alternative activities like walking, journaling, or resting.
Sharing Circles: Women-only environment fostering deep connections and shared experiences.
Self and Spiritual Exploration: Time for individual reflection, spiritual reconnection, and uncovering personal purpose.
Practicalities:
Structured Yet Flexible: Space for introverts and extroverts alike, balancing group activities with personal time.
It can be intimidating booking a holiday alone and then meeting a new bunch of people so we’re helping to mitigate that by getting to know each other before the retreat:
There is already a WhatsApp group where the people who have already booked are chatting on a daily bases – there will be Zoom calls to establish what stage of sobriety people are at so we can design the retreat according to people’s needs
Lynette emphasised the value of overcoming any apprehension we might be feeling about booking the Bali Retreat:
Stepping Out of Comfort Zones: She emphasized the importance of stepping our of our comfort zones, leaning into discomfort – which will result in personal growth As Lynette always says “we need to get comfortable with being uncomfortable” which applies to so many parts of this journey
I predict that we might feel apprehensive and uncomfortable for a few hours on Day 1 and then we are going to relax and enjoy the beauty of Bali and company of like minded women
Lynette ended our conversation with a Call to Action:
She urged the ladies listening to embrace their "one, beautiful, magical, precious life" by prioritizing meaningful, transformative experiences
We all lead such busy lives and sometimes we just need to take some time out….
Some time to refresh, recharge and nurture
Some time to reflect on our lives and dream a little – what do we want out of our lives – our one wild and precious life?
Some time to get off the treadmill and get inspired
2 groups of women will benefit particularly from this retreat:-
Mid-lifers – mid life is tricky – we are often coping with the menopause, career challenges and an empty nest – it’s a time of uncertainty and we need to  reflect on what we want from the second half of our life
Older ladies like myself – I’ll be 74 when we go to Bali but I know it’s important to stay open to new experiences and of course for me personally its such a landmark – it will be 10 years since I founded Tribe Sober and saw so many wonderful women ditch the booze and change their lives!
I like to keep in mind something that Tribe Team member Lucy always says:-"We don’t stop doing things because we get old, we get old because we stop doing things!"
So if you are a bit older like me do think about joining us – if you have any health worries you’ll be glad to know that there are excellent medical facilities on the island should a doctor be needed!
And if you a busy working mom and are wondering how on earth you can escape your responsibilities for a week please think about setting up a support network – we all love to be independent and not ask for help but if you ask your partner or family to help you out for a week then you may be pleasantly surprised at their reaction
Take some time for yourself and you will be an even better mom and career woman!
And if you’re worried you can’t afford it then remember its still 10 months away – divert what you spend on alcohol into your Bali bank account…

Are you Ready to Break Free from the Booze?

On this weeks solo episode I talk about our Breaking Free program which we run three times a year. 
Registration for the current program is open   - more info on tribesober.com
We limit each Breaking Free group to 20 so you’ll always get personal attention
In this episode:-
I talk about the warning signs of alcohol dependence as well as the benefits of an alcohol free lifestyle
The Breaking Free program has four components…
Four pieces of a puzzle that come together to create a transformation…
The first piece of the puzzle is Community Support so we connect you with the other people on the Breaking Free program
 We put you in a chatgroup with where you’ll also find some TS team members to answer any questions you may have
You'll also be invited to several Zoom meetings every week
The second piece is our 4 hour Masterclass – a group session which we hold via Zoom.  Another opportunity to get to know the other people on the program as everyone will share their story at the beginning of the session.  By the end of the Masterclass you’ll understand:-
The importance of a mindset change and the damage alcohol does to our health
We’ll be sharing our tried and tested sobriety toolkit and you’ll end the session feeling motivated and excited about the changes ahead.
While the Masterclass will give you an overview of the Tribe Sober approach to thriving in sobriety the online course will enable you to dive deeper at your own pace.  You’ll get all the theory and training you need to overturn your limiting beliefs around alcohol which is the key….
Just as we’ve been programmed into thinking that alcohol is an essential part of our daily lives our online program will de-program you and enable you to understand that you will be happier and healthier without it!
The third piece is our online course which includes videos, podcasts, articles and book recommendations so you’ll be able to throw the book at your sobriety – you’ll be able to treat it as a 3-month project that will change the trajectory of your future.
The fourth part of the puzzle is the personal support. 
You’ll have a 1.2.1 Zoom call to hear your story and give you some personal guidance
A session with our Coach Lynette who will discuss how you are applying the theory of the Breaking Free program to your daily life
So that’s the four pieces of our Breaking Free puzzle, four pieces that will come together to create an alcohol free lifestyle that you love..
Apart from creating a program that will get results we’ve created a program that is flexible and will fit in with your busy lives…. 
Both of the 1.2.1’s can be scheduled to suit your convenience, the online course can be worked through at your own pace so the only timeslot you need to fit in is the four hour Masterclass.
While we’re on the subject of time that’s one of the unexpected benefits of sobriety….. when we no longer spend time drinking and recovering from the drinking we find ourselves with extra time on our hands….
As well as the energy to do something constructive with that time!
Registration for the current Breaking Free program is open - more info on tribesober.com

How your Dry January can help a child in need...

This is the tenth year we’ve done our Annual Fundraiser and thanks to our generous donors we’ve raised nearly half a million rand over the years – that money had provided the gift of yoga to more than a thousand underprivileged children.
If you’re wondering how a disadvantaged child could benefit from yoga then you’re in the right place to learn more from my guest
Janna Kretzmar who is the founder of the Earthchild project  - and it’s the Earthchild project who have been the recipient of the funds we’ve raised over the last 10 years
Janna is an amazing woman - receiving the "Woman of the Future" award from Santam
In this episode:-
2024 will be the tenth year that Tribe Sober has collaborated with the Earthchild Project for the Dry January Challenge
Founder Janna Kretzmar tells us how she came up with the idea to start the project in 2007 - and why she thinks it's been such a successful project
She got the idea after working on an eco project in Brazil and reading a book by a yogi about a project in schools in India - these were her influences
She realised that it was important to partner with the schools/teachers for the long term - not just come in for short term projects and then leave
Earthchild Clothing paid the salary of their first facilitator so that's how they got their name
We talked about the power of positive role models in communities and how she is developing young leaders
Earthchild provides yoga classes, gardening lessons, eco clubs, hiking clubs - connecting the children with their bodies and the environment
The children come from communities with high levels of gang violence and unemployment - yoga provides a tool to help them cope with stress
Some of the children who started yoga classes when they were 6 years old are now young leaders working in the Earthchild Project
Janna reminded us of how the fundraiser worked and that just R250/£12/$16 will sponsor a child for a whole year of yoga classes
So whether you are in need of some support or just want to help an underprivileged child then please go to tribesober.com and you’ll see our fundraiser
Please help us to make our 10th Annual Fundraiser the best one yet!Join our FREE January Bootcamp which starts on Monday 6th January - more info here!

14 Tips for a Dry January!

After running Tribe Sober for nearly 10 years and helping thousands 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.
However this week I'm doing a solo episode - 10 reasons to do an alcohol free January - and 14 tips to get you through.
In This Episode
REASONS TO DO AN ALCOHOL FREE JANUARY
You've got a great "reason" to not be drinking when people ask!
A dry month is a great way to test your dependency - if you can't get through a month without booze then you need to make some changes
Alcohol is so toxic that just taking a month off will have significant health benefits
Alcohol is linked to liver disease and 7 different types of cancer - 1 glass of wine will raise your risk of breast cancer by 15%
Alcohol will weaken our immune systems - and put us more at risk of becoming infected with Covid
20% of regular drinkers will become dependent over the years - drinking more than a bottle and a half of wine a week may damage your health
A month off alcohol will reduce your anxiety, freshen up your looks, help you lose weight and enable you to get some good quality sleep
Making a donation to our January fundraiser will give you a dopamine hit (giving makes you feel good) and enable you to receive online and community support for 31 days - you can sign up here
TIPS TO GET YOU THROUGH
Shake up your daily routine and exercise every day
Be ready to cope with your emotions - if you've been numbing your feelings with alcohol they will come to the surface
Use a journal to track your progress, note your triggers and process your emotions
Listen to music, make a soundtrack for your January Challenge - a real mood changer
Have your go-to drinks -drinknil.co.za are offering 10% discount on all their alcohol free drinks for people doing our Challenge
Find your tribe - its hard to do this alone - check out our membership program here
Please donate to our Earthchild Fundraiser - and get 30 days of community and online support - sign up link is here

Prison, Pain and Purpose - Sam's Path to Recovery

My guest this week is Sam Lander who hit rock bottom when she was sent to prison.
In this episode:-
Sam's first drink was in 7th grade and her first drug use (weed) in 8th grade.
From there she progressed to heavy substance use, including GHB, cocaine, and meth.
She was blackout drinking and using drugs to alter her state of mind.
Despite her addiction, she was high functioning – she was a varsity athlete, spinning instructor, and held down various jobs.
Her turning point was certainly a dramatic one – a SWAT Raid of her home which led to a 27 month prison sentence
Even in prison she didn’t get clean
Eventually Sam accepted that her life was unmanageable and went to rehab
She describes her rehab experience as liberating - experiencing joy and laughter again!.
She was sober for 13 years but then had a relapse due to struggles with motherhood, marriage and isolation
Sam was drinking a bottle of gin a day throughout Covid
As her addiction got worse she lost some people close to her and she finally realised what was blocking her recovery
She wasn’t doing the work and realised that she was lacking the humility she needed
Sams relapse after 13 years is such a warning sign to those of us that have clocked up years of sobriety – if we still see alcohol as a way to relieve our struggles then we are at risk
The key is to develop alternative coping mechanism so that we don’t go to our default and seek a way to numb out from our problems
These days Sam has clocked up more than a year of sobriety, focusing on daily gratitude and service work
She is now a Health Coach and helps women to address their health:- 
Gut health
Hormone imbalances and
Stress management
She combines nutrition, functional lab testing, and personalized programs.
She also encourages clean eating, proper supplementation, and weightlifting for sustainable health.
She had some advice:-For those struggling: Be vulnerable and admit you need help – there is no shame in seeking support.
First-year sobriety struggles: Address gut health, nutrient deficiencies, and underlying issues.
For those having sugar cravings: Use natural alternatives like honey, maple syrup, and balanced meals.
Her take on exercise is that its key: Start slow, prioritize weightlifting, and integrate daily movement like walking.
Sam Offers free health clarity calls to assess needs and recommend lab tests.

Tribe Sober Bali Retreat - Oct 20-27 - invitation from Host Helene

Alex finds Claritée

This weeks guest who is Alex Clapp – Alcohol took Alex to a very dark place but now he’s 2 years sober and running alcohol free events!
In this episode:-
Alex started drinking heavily as a teenager within a culture that normalized binge drinking.
Like many of us he developed a career in a "work hard, play hard" culture, where drinking was integral to fitting in
Alex was drinking heavily anyway but when he was faced with a serious health challenge it ramped up further
He experienced significant eye health issues leading to partial blindness
Battling with a combination of problematic drinking and depression Alex was beginning to feel suicidal
Thankfully his 16 year old son turned this mindset around when he expressed a heartfelt need for his father
Alex went to rehab 3 times – an interesting process…
First time he treated it as a “break” to prove to himself that he wasn’t an alcohol – a bit like many of us do with Dry January
Second time he did some deeper work but then made the mistake of thinking that he had “fixed” his inner problem and would be able to drink normally!
Third time it stuck when he finally accepted that he had crossed the line into dependence and would never be able to moderate!
Alex spoke of the importance of vulnerability, which is not so easy for men who have often been raised to hide their emotions and fix everything!
We agreed on the importance of getting comfortable with being uncomfortable which enables us to create alternative coping mechanisms.
We also spoke of the importance of having a project in sobriety and Alex has created Claritee, an organization promoting alcohol-free events for corporate and public settings.
Alex believes that his events are challenging social norms and will provide people with alternative choices for fun and connection
You can see some beautiful photo of sober people having fun on Alex website which is https://www.clariteegroup.co.uk/ - I’ll put a link in the shownotes
Alex advocates giving back to the community through volunteering and helping charities
We agreed that donating to a charity actually lights up the same pathways in our brain that alcohol did!
So on that basis here is a plug for our Annual Fundraiser which helps underprivileged children here in South Africa
Just donate whatever you an afford and in addition to getting a buzz you’ll get online and community support for 30 days of your choosing – any 30 day window that suits you between now and the end of Feb

From Pain to Purpose with Ike Miller

My guest this week is author Ike Miller
In this episode:-
Ike’s father was an alcoholic, leading to family chaos and eventual divorce.
He experienced emotional and physical abuse, realizing the effects on his mental health only later in life.
Ike initially avoided alcohol due to his family background but started drinking at 22
Like many of us alcohol felt like a magic potion and he loved the effect it had on him
However as time passed he found himself relying on it more
During the pandemic, stress, anxiety, and depression exacerbated his drinking, leading to a strained relationship with his wife,
Ike’s counselor identified his behavior as addictive, which prompted him to seek help.
So he started addiction counseling, attended Adult Children of Alcoholics meetings, and began addressing unresolved trauma.
His healing process involved understanding and processing childhood trauma, addressing codependency, and redefining his coping mechanisms.
He reframed his experiences and began to identify strengths he had built as a result of his challenging childhood.
Ike eventually achieved sobriety through therapy, support groups, and open communication with his wife.
He has written a book called Good Baggage
The book explores how challenges from childhood can become strengths when leveraged correctly.
It emphasizes reframing childhood trauma as a source of resilience and emotional intelligence.
3 Tips for People wanting to quit:-
Start by acknowledging the problem and seeking help through counseling or support groups.
Understand that addiction is a response to pain and prioritize healing over shame.
Recognise that although recovery is hard at the beginning it leads to significant improvements in relationships and self-worth.
You can contact Ike and buy his book by going to his website which is ikemiller.com
