How the Sober Spring Challenge changed my life - Christelle

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 Christelle.   Christelle heard about Tribe Sober on the radio when she heard me tasting some alcohol free wines. It was a bit of a light bulb moment for her when she realised that there were AF wines on the market and she began to wonder if she could stop drinking.

 In this Episode

• For Christelle the drinking was more about the ritual than anything else - she could never limit herself to one glass
• That first glass is the problem - as it triggers you to have another - and another - alcohol is an addictive drug after all
• With alcohol free wine Christelle never really wanted more than one or two glasses
• She had tried one of our 30 day challenges and lasted about 30 minutes!
• She used to wake up at 3am with her heart jumping, wondering if she had remembered to feed her family the previous evening
• Every morning Christelle would berate herself and resolve that she would give up - but at 6pm she opened another bottle
• However once she started to discover AF wines she began to wonder if she could do the 66 day challenge
• She stocked up for the Challenge - red, white and bubbly AF wines
• Christelle sailed through the Challenge without difficulty and finished on November 5th
• She adored the cameraderie and support on the Sober Spring WhatsApp group - when the challenge ended she missed it
• So on November 8th she signed up as a Tribe Sober member and has never looked back!
• She says people thinking about signing up for Sober Spring must just "do it" - it's the best gift they could give themselves
