#Sober66 - Your Annual Sober Challenge!

One of the ways we’ve been helping people is via our regular alcohol free challenges – which are a great way to dip your toes into the waters of sobriety and also to test your dependence.  If you find our challenges a breeze then that’s awesome – but if you find them really difficult then that’s a clear sign that you need to make a few changes. As a result of the pandemic and also of this podcast Tribe Sober had become much more international these days Our Sober Spring Challenge used to be full of locals but over the last few years we’ve been joined by Brits, Europeans and Americans – and if course in those countries it’s not Spring at all!  Even if it’s not Spring where you live September is a great month for a new start, it’s often a month when those daily routines shift a bit… a time when the kids go back to school or even leave the nest for college.. So to make our Sober Spring more more international we are rebranding it.. You’ve all heard of Route 66 – well our challenge is going to be called #Sober66 – it’s 66 alcohol free days…with plenty of support to get you through   In this episode:- This challenge really is life changing and if you have any doubts about that just dig into some of our previous Tribe Sober podcasts Episode 12 with Chez, episode 15 with Kai, 16 with Christelle, 17 with Sheila and 21 with Lebo, Each of those episodes is called “How the Sober Spring Challenge Changed my Life”  There are SO many reasons to take a 66 day break from the booze but I’ll constrain myself to just 10:- REASON 1 – ITS LONG ENOUGH TO SEE BENEFITS REASON 2 – YOU’LL GO FROM MERELY MOTIVATED TO INSPIRED! REASON 3 – YOUR MENTAL HEALTH REASON 4 – YOUR LOOKS! REASON 5 – YOUR WEIGHT REASON 6 – YOUR SLEEP REASON 7 – YOUR GENERAL HEALTH REASON 8 – BUILD A NEW NEURAL PATHWAY REASON 9 - TO CHECK YOUR DEPENDENCE REASON 10 – THE DOMINO EFFECT We picked on 66 days because that’s how long it takes to change a habit so if you are thinking about making alcohol-free living a permanent lifestyle choice then you will find it SO much easier after 66 days — you will have built a whole new neural pathway! If you are just looking to cut down then do the challenge and you will find it SO much easier to drink within the low-risk levels of one and a half bottles of wine (or six beers) a week.           HOW IT WORKS The Challenge will run for 66 days — starting on 1st September. That’s long enough to assess your relationship with alcohol and to build a new and healthy habit. You will receive a daily email, packed with tips, tools and inspiration for 66 days. You’ll also have access to 66 motivatonal mini-podcasts. You will be added to a WhatsApp Chat Group to connect with other Sober Springers. To share tips and encourage each other to stay on the bus! You will also receive an invitation to join our Sober Sprinters Facebook Group and our Zoom Cafe every Saturday. More Info Subscription membership – you can join up HERE.
