Tribe Sober - inspiring an alcohol free life!

Sobriety is EPIC with Sarah Treacy

In this inspiring episode, Janet talks with Sarah, known online as the “Sober Sherpa”, about her journey from teenage drinking, to a “work hard, play hard” corporate lifestyle, to finally embracing the freedom of sobriety.
Sarah shares how the COVID lockdown became a turning point, helping her finally step away from alcohol after years of trying to moderate. She opens up about the tools that helped her succeed, the unexpected benefits of life without booze, and how she’s now using her passion for adventure to help others in their recovery through the Sober Adventure Collective.
In this episode:-
How Sarah’s drinking started young and became tied to her identity and success
The moment she realized her drinking could cost her the career she’d worked so hard to build
How an online 12-week recovery program and “This Naked Mind” changed her perspective on alcohol
The surprising emotional freedom and confidence that came with sobriety
Why adding new passions and connections is just as important as removing alcohol
How the Sober Adventure Collective helps people heal through nature, movement, and connection
Why helping others in recovery has become one of the most meaningful parts of her journey

66 Days to Sobriety with Christelle

This week's guest is Tribe member Christelle who did our #Sober66 Challenge 7 years ago and has been thriving in her alcohol free lifestyle ever since...
in this episode:-
Christelle realized that her drinking habits were problematic and knew she would have to make a changeShe knew that drinking a bottle of wine a night was damaging her health
A particular worry was her heart rate which was in the high 80’s
Christelle had signed up for our Dry January Challenge but she only lasted 30 minutes – rather than the 30 days of the Challenge
Although she had not stuck at Dry January she decided to have a another try… at our 66 day Sober Spring Challenge
It was hearing me on the radio tasting some alcohol free wines that gave her a light bulb moment…
For Christelle her evening wine was a ritual…a ritual which had become a dependence due to the addictive nature of alcohol
But if she could keep the ritual and change the ingredient by drinking alcohol free wine then it should be easier…
To her relief Christelle met other people with a similar problem in the Challenge Community
She connected regularly on the Challenge Whatsapp group and learned a lot
 As early as Day 8 of the Challenge she realized she could live without wine so long as she had the  alcohol-free wine.
So if you haven’t yet discovered alcohol free wine then do check it out – it could be a gamechanger for you just as it was for Christelle
Her Benefits of Sobriety include:  - Better looks (reduced puffiness and clearer skin).  - Better sleep quality.  - Reduced heart rate from 84 to low 60s – and probably most importantly of all…  - Increased self-esteem and happiness.
We agreed that for anyone who is even slightly concerned about their drinking should take a break from alcohol to check their dependence
Doing our #Sober66 Challenge will provide online and community support

Your 66-day Reset with Challenger Kai

My guest this week is Kai from Switzerland who did our 66-day Challenge back in 2018 - and he's been sober ever since
In this episode:
Kai liked the competitive aspect of a “challenge” and once he’d checked out the science behind our 66 he was keen to join
He never had a “rock bottom” moment; the realization that he was drinking too much came gradually over 5 years.
Three main drinking situations:
Friday/Saturday nights with his wife.
After-work beers with colleagues.
Holidays with daily alcohol.
He’d always struggled with moderation; although he did attempt a “Dry January” most years.
Kai started his 66-day challenge with confidence, expecting to moderate afterward.
He found the accountability, group support, and reading resources helpful.
He maintained his social life but switched to alcohol-free alternatives.
Family Reactions were interesting…
His wife didn’t fully understand the need for Kai to join a group in South Africa to do the challenge
His children gave him some honest feedback that they never would have told him if he was still drinking
Son disliked the smell of alcohol on his breath.
Daughter disliked his loudness and unsteady walking after drinking.
After the 66 days he felt great and extended challenge to 100 days and then to 6 months
Then his daughter’s challenged him to do one year – that was 7 years ago and he’s been alcohol free ever since!
Benefits Noticed
Easier life – loved the simplicity of not counting drinks or worrying about driving
Health improvements: better skin, digestion, sleep, mood.
No more hangovers and much more energy.
Kai’s Perspective has changed..
No current reason to drink; sees alcohol as incompatible with healthy living.
Notices social norms promoting alcohol; predicts attitudes may shift like they did with smoking.
Enjoys being a role model for his children and colleagues.
Advice to Others
Know your “why” before starting.
Use the toolbox, community, and resources.
Observe social drinking without judgment.
Challenges help identify if drinking is truly a problem.
He avoided the daunting idea of “forever” by setting achievable milestones.
So if Kai has inspired you to try our #Sober66 Challenge just click on this link to join
Next week we’ll be featuring another #Sober66 Challenger so don’t forget to tune in!

The Power of 66 Sober Days...with Chez

Today's 66 Day Challenger is Chez, a South African who heard me being interviewed about sobriety on the radio
She didn’t act immediately but the seed was sewn…
Chez did our Challenge back in 2018 when it was called the Sober Spring Challenge. 
Of course the 1st September is the beginning of Spring here in South Africa but we are so international these days that we’ve rebranded the Challenge #Sober66…
So of course if you live in the northern hemisphere it will be a Sober Autumn for you!
 
In this episode:
Chez knew for years that she had a drinking problem but struggled to find a method that worked — rehab and AA didn’t suit her.
Her turning point came after hearing about Tribe Sober on the radio and joining the Sober Spring Challenge in 2018.
She committed to 66 alcohol-free days, which were initially difficult — with poor sleep, low energy, and emotional struggles but
Somewhere between Day 55 and Day 66, everything shifted — she started sleeping well, felt energized, happy, and truly present with her son.
She describes a poignant moment: watching her son in a colour run and truly enjoying it without a hangover.
The WhatsApp support group was crucial for accountability, encouragement, and connection — and helped her make lasting friendships.
After completing the 66 days, she tried to go it alone — but eventually relapsed. This made her realise the importance of ongoing support so
She rejoined Tribe Sober as a full member and credits the community and her son as her two biggest motivators to stay sober.
Chez speaks openly about her experience with bipolar disorder, noting that alcohol had rendered her medication ineffective — sobriety allowed it to work properly.
She highlights multiple benefits of sobriety: improved sleep, emotional stability, stronger relationships, better skin, weight loss, and energy.
Chez believes that habit change takes time — research shows that 66 days is long enough to break old habits and form new ones.
She encourages others to take the #Sober66 Challenge — not just to stop drinking, but to assess their relationship with alcohol and what might be holding them back.
So if Chez has inspired you then just go to tribesober.com and click on the membership tab – everyone who signs up as a member before September 1st will automatically be added to the Challenge and

Prostitute to Professor with Becca Jacobson

My guest this week is Becca Jacobson who has a remarkable life story to share..
She’s written a brave memoir which is called From Prostitute to Professor and summarises her journey of personal transformation so get ready to be inspired!
In this episode:
Becca entered the sex industry as an exotic dancer in her 20s while she was struggling with alcohol dependency.
During this period her mom launched an escort agency and recruited Becca and her sister to work alongside her
Although none of her family had attended college Becca was determined to pursue higher education and was accepted in 3 different colleges.
She earned 3 degrees and taught English and Writing for 20 years.
However the drinking continued and Becca reveals how shame, secrecy, and isolation kept her trapped in binge drinking for decades, even while functioning professionally.
After 11 visits to detox and countless failed attempts to quit drinking her turning point came in 2018 after an 8-day blackout that led her to finally speak the truth and accept some help
A detox center and an eight-week treatment program marked the beginning of her lasting recovery.
We both agreed on the critical role of community in sobriety and the danger of trying to recover in isolation.
It was only when Becca stopped hiding her problem and asked for help that things began to change.
Journaling became a key tool in Becca’s healing, eventually leading her to write and publish her memoir: Prostitute to Professor: A Guide to Radical Transformation.
These days she encourages women to create space for self-reflection, and now offers virtual retreats and an 8-week coaching program for women over 40.
Becca shares practical tips for women, including how to carve out time for themselves and establish boundaries during recovery.
Today, she’s passionate about helping women reclaim their lives, find purpose, and embrace sobriety with pride.
You can connect with Becca at beccajacobson.com and listen to her podcast which is called Sober Living Snippets.

On the Recovery Elevator with Teresa Heath Wareing

My guest this week is British Marketing Guru – Teresa Heath Wareing
Teresa struggled to answer when I asked her when she started drinking – that’s because she felt that alcohol was always there .  Drinking was normalized in her family - and ever-present in both celebrations and crises.
From high-flying marketing roles to becoming a solo business owner, drinking remained central – even becoming part of her identity – G & T with T was a regular feature!
Despite appearing very functional, Teresa was secretly struggling. A pivotal moment came when she was too hungover to say goodbye to her daughter on a Monday morning.
Years of therapy helped her gradually acknowledge her dependence. She tracked over 100 units of alcohol in a week – a shocking realization especially when the UK low risk limits are only 14!
Like many of us, she tried to control her drinking but found that moderation was impossible. Her husband drank the same amount but didn’t seem to have a problem – he had an off switch whereas Teresa didn’t!
Getting sober in 2023 was the hardest thing she’s ever done. Her struggle was a long one and It took nearly a year before she began to feel good again.
Teresa kept her sobriety private at first, worried how it would affect her brand. Eventually, she shared her story through a 15-episode podcast: Losing Part of Me.
Her benefits of sobriety included
More energy and focus – leading to greater business success.
Improved relationships, especially with her husband.
She began to love herself againTop Sobriety Tips:
Treat sobriety as your main project.
Be patient – healing takes time.
Replace drinking with meaningful goals or passions (e.g. her garden).
Join a community for support and accountability.
Teresa’s Message to  listeners: “If you’re listening to this, that’s the sign you need.
Sobriety is hard – but joining a community will get you through...

Mocktail Mom on Gray Area Drinking...and Getting Sober

My guest this week is Deb from Kentucky – aka Mocktail Mom  
This was her second time on the show - click here to listen to the first interview
In this episode:-
Deb quit drinking on December 31, 2020.
She originally took a break to evaluate her drinking and felt so good she just kept going!
Deb was a Late Starter and only started drinking heavily in her 40s during after her divorce.
Like many of us she was a Gray Area Drinker: She often found herself drinking more than she had intended, particularly when she was alone on weekends without her kids.
Debs Turning Point: came when she realized that alcohol was taking up too much mental space
I loved her analogy of the ticker tape of breaking news that we see on tv – Deb felt she had an alcohol related ticker tape constantly turning in the background of her mind!
She joined a sobriety challenge in January 2021 and community did the trick
It was a breakthrough for Deb when she finally accepted that moderation wasn’t working for her
Like many of us she discovered it was easier to stop completely altogether than to try to control it.
This is because alcohol changes our brain chemistry – once we have crossed the line into dependence just one drink can trigger intense cravings
I wish someone had explained that to me before I spent 10 long years trying (and failing) to control my drinking!
Deb's Top 3 Benefits of Sobriety:
Freedom from ticker tape mental chatter about alcohol.
No more waking up with guilt and shame.
Confidence and trust in herself (she gave that example of being able to collect her daughters if they called her in the evening.)
Mocktail Mom Platform:
Deb shares mocktail recipes and alcohol-free fun on Instagram and TikTok.
Created a mocktail recipe book: The Happiest Hour.
Learn more via her website mocktailmom.com
Both Deb and myself are breast cancer survivors. We didn’t know about the alcohol-cancer link when we were drinking so are keen to let as many women as possible understand that alcohol is linked to 7 types of cancer
Debs Sobriety Advice:
Don’t think in terms of “forever.” Take it one day or one event at a time.
Don’t worry about future events (e.g., weddings or trips).
Celebrate any alcohol-free progress; it all adds up.
Her last tip was to get support—having a community made all the difference for her

Your Sobriety Timeline with Rachael Shephard

My guest this week is Sobriety Coach Rachael Shephard, mom of 2 young boys and author of  "Sober Mama"
In this episode:-Early Drinking Years
Rachael always drank to excess, experienced frequent blackouts, and never had an off-switch.
Used to look forward to drinking like a child anticipates Christmas.
The Turning Point
By her late 30s, Rachel felt exhausted and sick and tired… of feeling sick and tired
A boozy holiday made her realize she needed to stop—shaking in the morning was her wake-up call.
The Role of Motherhood
Drinking increased after having children—became a way to cope with stress.
Once sober, found motherhood became easier, with more energy, patience, and connection.
Challenges in Early Sobriety
First few weeks involved sugar cravings, extreme fatigue, and boredom.
Found a "pink cloud" of euphoria around two weeks, followed by a flat period of low motivation.
I loved her story about struggling to find something that was “fun” in early sobriety – so she spent her time organizing and decluttering her home so that life would be easier when she began to feel better
Mindset Shift
Realized alcohol was the cause of her anxiety, not the cure.
Rejected the “mommy juice” culture and recognized societal normalization of addiction.
Sober Coaching & Writing
I loved Rachael’s sobriety timeline which she uses as a coaching framework.
She has written a book called “Sober Mama” to centralize tools, stories, and support in one place.
Advice for Others
Suggests people try sobriety for just two weeks and take daily photos to see the transformation.
Like us at Tribe Sober Rachael avoids the word "forever"—encouraging Sober Stretches of 30- or 90-days
Where to Find Rachel
Her book is available in UK bookstores and on Amazon.

Your 3 Steps to Sobriety with Janet Gourand

We’re featuring the soundtrack from our recent Webinar in this episode
If you’d like to see the Webinar slides while you’re listening then click here to access Webinar on our You Tube channel
During the Webinar:-
We focussed a lot on mindset which is so much more powerful than willpower
Quitting drinking isn't about deprivation—it's about transformation.
We don’t have a drinking problem—we have a life-changing opportunity!
🔑 We covered the Three Essential Steps to Quit
Change Your Mindset
Undo decades of conditioning from marketing and culture.
You do that by Educating yourself with books, podcasts, and Tribe Sober content.
We need to Reframe quitting – we’re not missing out – we’re gaining: health, peace, energy, sleep, time.
Rewire Your Brain
Willpower isn’t enough—use repetition and neuroplasticity.
Build new habits with tools, practices, and support.
The “pause” before a drink = golden moment for change.
Find Your People
Connection is the opposite of addiction.
Tribe Sober provides role models, accountability, and encouragement.
"You’ve come home" – shared experience creates rapid bonding.
