Don't Press 'The Duck It' Button!!!!! Don't Let Boris Derail Your Good Work........


Don't Press 'The Duck It' Button Please Don't Do It!!!!

If you pressed it last night after Boris' latest announcement - it's never too late to dust yourself down & get 'back on it' - there is no judgement here - trust me I know how hard this can be especially in Lockdown!!!

Day 5 - Dry January 2021

You're going to need your Tribe even more now - please lean on your family & friends for support. I'm always here for you if you want to get in touch for advice. 

Map out your days especially if you're working from home, with the children off school, being restricted for going anywhere. Decide what you're going to eat for lunch, for dinner. Plan ahead - what will you drink whilst you're cooking dinner? Plan this ahead to avoid any Danger Zones. 

How's your notebook going? Are you managing to write in it regularly? Your sleep patterns, how you feel when you wake up, which alcohol free drink you enjoyed, which one you didn't. How you feel at the end of the day etc. Keep making notes it'll be good to reflect & read later on this month.

You're fast approaching Day 6. By Day 6 or 7 you will start to feel 'The Boing' this is energy on a whole different level - you will feel energised, full of beans. This is quite normal & is often totally unexpected but a wonderful surprise!! Make the most of it - get stuff done!

I did a 'live' this morning if you want to have a watch it's on my 'Your Sober Coach' Facebook page. I'm on there every morning at 9am.

Hope you're having a good day & wishing you all a peaceful evening x

3 Empowering Words: I DON'T DRINK

Day 11 Dry January 2021 Happy Monday Everyone! How are you? I'm 'live' on 'Your Sober Coach' Facebook Page every day @9am. I post it so you can go back & watch it. There's one for every day so far. I hope they help especially if you've just joined me. The Little Book of Confidence by Susan Jeffers is one of my favourites: Here are 2 pages that I've found really helpful: What Happens When You Give 100%? When you commit to giving 100% to all areas of your life, your sense of focus, excitement, participation, enjoyment fulfilment & happiness come alive, perhaps for the first time. What a glorious feeling this is! Giving 100% Does Not Mean Forever. Life is always bringing us new adventures. New challenges arise involving career moves; relationships may end, & so on. But if you have given 100%, when the time comes to move on, there is nothing to regret. I love this & have found it really helpful & incredibly reassuring. How's your note...

Day 7 - ONE WEEK!!!!!! Morning All Emotions - when you give something up it tends to heighten the emotions. Are you feeling more emotional than usual? Every time I stopped drinking for a period of time it would feel like an Emotional Rollercoaster!!!! Tearful? I would cry at anything. Do you use alcohol as a crutch? I know I did. Think about it. You've taken your crutch away or you could call it a safety blanket - everything feels a bit raw doesn't it? Are you feeling sad? You're missing your friend in the bottle. Habits are so hard to break - CONGRATULATIONS - you've broken the back of the first week. This is a HUGE achievement - WELL DONE! 7 Days in....Your sleep should be alot better. Your skin, is it clearer, almost brighter? Your whites of your eyes, are they clearer? Write it all in your notebook. We're fast approaching Friday Night - 'The Danger Zone' - Plan Ahead what are you going to do? Decide how your evening's going to pan out. Plan what you...

Don't Be Afraid. Be........

Morning All Day 8 Dry January 2021 I'm awake at the crack of a sparrow's fart yet again. And I've made use of my twilight hours by completing my tax return. I've always been a last minute .com kinda girl. Give me a deadline & I will go right up to the final hour. So I'm proud of myself for not doing my usual 11.55pm on January 31st. How are you? This quote from Michelle Obama is one of my favourites. Don't Be Afraid. We are all so much stronger than we think we are. My mantra for 2021 is 'feel the fear & do it anyway' this is from a book by Susan Jeffers that I read years ago. Get yourself a copy if you've not read it. I found it truly inspiring. You are all being incredibly brave by embracing Dry January - you are creating a NEW YOU. Be Focused : Focus on YOU. Focus on your selfcare. Focus on your emotions. Focus on planning your days. Focus on not drinking alcohol. Focus on getting out in the fresh air. Focus on what you're grateful for...
