Love Your Sober Summer
Your Six Week Group Coaching Program to make this a hangover-free summer to remember
Why is Summer Sobriety so tricky?
Did you know that statistically drinking peaks in the summer? Whilst we may be able to get on board with the idea of staying in with hot choc and Netflix in the colder months, the sun and longer days beckon us out to play.
The summer can also be a cluster trigger with its association with high days, holidays and the pursuit of pleasure. But let’s face it, hangovers in the heat are no cause for celebration. So, how do we enjoy the benefits of the summer, while avoiding its danger spots?
During each season we are challenged once again to adapt our sober toolkit to whatever the conditions. Just as you wouldn’t wear a bikini in the rain, we need to choose the right tools for the job.
If you are a mum, during the period of school closure, aka the summer holidays, there is a tendency to run ourselves ragged, forget the early lessons of building our sober toolkit and self-care, and find ourselves triggered to drink again.
We may be venturing out more, feeling more sociable with the summer’s extrovert energy. We need to be aware that we also have to rest and rehydrate, and restock our toolkits, like packing picnic hampers for long days out. It’s important to note the emergence of fading affect bias (that we forget how bad things were over time) and our vulnerability to seeing things through rose-tinted sunglasses, which makes rosé all day suddenly seem like a great idea.
Remember that you can do this. We will build our toolkits over the next few weeks and take down that wine witch.
Let's Deal with This!
How does it work?
With a combination of connection, planning and exploration we will build the sober toolkit for the summer based on your triggers, stressors, beliefs and experience. We will reframe fun, holidays and road test what it can really feel like to feel calm, present and in control as we explore what genuinely lights us up and calms us down so we are less triggered to drink alcohol. We build evidence in our own ability to enjoy ourselves and our lives free from the negative impact of alcohol.
