This is a series of 66 mini podcasts - to support you through a 66 day alcohol free challenge.

The challenge lasts for 66 days because that's how long it takes to change a habit.

We have published an e-book called "66 days to sobriety" (available on our website https://www.tribesober.com) - this book contains 66 pages of tips, tools and motivation so I will read a page a day for these mini podcasts.

I will also update you on the healing taking place in your body and mind as you progress through the 66 days.

Alcohol and Peer Pressure

Even though Taking a Break is fairly common these days this doesn't mean that you won't be under pressure to drink.

Alcohol has become so normalised in our society that even quitting for a month can make you stand out - and the anxiety of worrying what other people think is not going to help you

succeed.

A few tips to get you through...

1. Don't feel self conscious about your decision - you are taking a break from drinking poison to let your body recover - you know it makes sense!

2. Don't act as if it’s a big deal - set the tone by saying something like "its no big deal - just giving my liver its annual holiday!"

3. Be assertive about your "no thanks" - the people who hassle you to drink are usually the ones with a "problem"

4. Be happy! - don't hide in a corner saying you would love to have a drink but you just can't - instead grab an alcohol free drink and smile

- fake it until you make it!

5. Always remember that what other people think of you is none of your business ;-)
