The Sober Experience
The Sober Experience
Society expects us to drink
But what if you wanted to try something different?
What if you had a feeling there might be another option?
Alcohol is highly addictive
This is a fact. If a habit has formed we need to unlearn it, to create a life that doesn’t focus on alcohol.
My book aims to do that:
- Introduction to some key theories to support the mindset shift
- Becoming familiar with the brain and how alcohol interacts with it
- 10 lessons that make up the sober experience
- A completely positive perspective throughout
- Everything is learning. You come to this space with learning and I aim to move you forward
- We focus ahead. What can we achieve with this new perspective?
You might be thinking...
-
A book can’t stop you drinking:
Correct: but I help to shift your mindset, to give you a fresh perspective and to give you the tools.
-
I am the problem:
NO, you are not. You were using alcohol to elevate something or to fix something. Alcohol became the problem. Alcohol has been planted in society to fix problems and elevate our life. You were just following that lead. But alcohol is not the solution it was sold to be and until we acknowledge that change won’t happen.
-
I need alcohol:
You don’t. The story you are telling yourself is what needs the alcohol. Changing the story removes the need for alcohol.
-
I am not an alcoholic so I don’t have a problem:
I ask you not to label yourself but to ask yourself is alcohol helping and if not then let’s do something about that.
About Sam
I woke up one morning and realised my “normal” drinking habit had hijacked my world.
My life was grey, my relationships suffered, my energy levels were low. Alcohol was at the centre of everything but was adding nothing and was actually taking a lot. But I hadn’t hit the classic definition of rock bottom so I ignored it. Until one day, after 30 years dedicated to my drinking hobby I decided to create a new story.
Success Stories

Sam has been coaching me for a few months now and I think she is very good- she is calm and listens whilst giving great advice. I look forward to our sessions and feel so much better after. I was stuck in a rut but through the sessions I have decided to make a huge life change to give up alcohol as I felt calmer and ready to actually help myself for once! I am now almost 100 days alcohol free and life is so much better. I could not have done this without her advice and support. I highly recommend her to help and support people.

Since starting these sessions I can honestly say the guidance given has really been game changing in how I have been approaching different areas of my life. Often simple but such effective techniques have resulted in positive outcomes which would never have happened prior. My outlook has many more dimensions. The benefit is widespread across my family and work life

There is so much to do and it can get really overwhelming at times. Sam taught me a few ways I can take a step back, refocus, and dump all my To Dos to get them out of my head and organized in a way that makes them more tangible. I find myself pausing more, being empathetic and not letting my kids' negative energy become mine but instead focusing on my positive energy to ground us all. I'm still practicing and I'm definitely not perfect but it's helped a lot. I learned different ways to approach social situations as a newly alcohol free person.

I cannot thank Sam enough for her incredible support and knowledge. I am now sober and free and could not be happier. An all-encompassing program which answers pretty much every question or wall I hit along the way and dispels so many myths that keep us hooked. Thoroughly recommend. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
