It’s not because they “fancied a drink”, it’s not because they are “stressed” it’s also not because they got jealous seeing their friends and family drinking….

It is much deeper than that.

It’s because they are stuck in no mans land, not fully embracing the 2.0 version of themselves, but also not wanting to drink… somewhere in the middle.

They still cling onto old friendships, go out in the same places and talk about the same old stuff but all whilst not drinking.

Staying off the booze is an unbelievable achievement and should be celebrated, but it’s also just the beginning…

Once you fully embrace the sober sleep, harness the sober energy and immerse yourself in the complete unknown… the fun really starts.

Who do you want to become in this new life?

What do they do for a living?

Who are you going to let go of?

Who are you going to start hanging around with?

What can you start working on?

What do you want to look like?

Where do you want to live?

What does success look like to you now?

What gets you jumping out of bed in the morning?

Becoming the 2.0 version of you is exciting, it’s like being reborn and having another crack at life with new found clarity.

Nothing on earth will give you the opportunity sobriety gives you.

But you have to walk through the door and trust in the universe!

It’s beautiful to see so many people starting to connect the dots between feeling awful, riddled with anxiety, struggling with their physical and mental health all whilst drinking.

Then on the flip side, when they don’t drink for a period of time, they feel better, the anxiety reduces, the world seems a more peaceful place, they sleep better and generally feel good!

We have all had so much conditioning to think drinking is the answer to a bad day, the key ingredient to a fun night or the best way to medicate tough times.

But in reality, drinking is a mugs game.

I spend more and more of my time talking about what happens next, once you stop drinking.

I’m passionate about supporting people when they want to take a break from the booze.

But, I’m even more passionate about helping people get excited about what they can do with their new blank canvas.

Sobriety will transform your life, if you allow it.

So many doors will open up for you and it can happen quick!

Meet Ben, founder of .

He stopped drinking just over 1 year ago and we celebrated his 28th birthday with him here in Meribel this week.

In that year, he has transformed his life, he has the idea of soberski, he brought it to life, planned it, advertised it, sold it out and has now completed his first one!

Just over a year ago, that wasn’t even an idea!

This is the story I see time and time again and it makes me so happy to see it.

Of course it doesn’t always unfold as quickly and successfully as Ben, but I hope that his story inspires you.

Stop ignoring your ideas, start taking action, you have so many opportunities ahead of you now alcohol is removed.

Getting off the booze is step one, the rest of the journey is when it gets exciting.

Once I started to make the connection in my own life with drinking alcohol and feeling like s**t.

I realised that not drinking must be the opposite?

But that couldn’t be true could it?

Everyone that doesn’t drink is boring as hell?

So I took a few breaks and started to feel great!

But I couldn’t give it up…. Could I?

So I went back to drinking, and started to feel like s**t again.

Once I made the (now pretty obvious) connection, it was a question of, do I want to feel like s**t or feel great?

I chose the great option!

Life isn’t that complicated, do stuff that makes you feel good, don’t do stuff that doesn’t!

Have a lovely day 😊

Just had this memory pop up from 13 years ago today.

What a mess… priorities all over the place.

Eating, drinking, partying all the time.

No gym, no fitness, mental health in the toilet.

Give me an early morning over a late night.

I’d trade a cold beer for a hot coffee.

And I’d rather be at home with my family than any fancy dinner.

28/01/2026

And the mad thing is… I didn’t even realise it at the time.

Because it wasn’t one big disaster.

It was the little leaks.

The wasted mornings.
The fake plans.
The low standards.
The “I’ll start Monday” BS chat

I used to get excited for one thing…
the weekend.
That first drink.
That switch-off.
That “finally I can relax” feeling.

Now?

I get excited about what I can achieve every single day.

Waking up early.
Training.
Creating.
Building.
Being sharp.
Being present.
Moving forward.

That buzz is different.

It’s real.
It lasts.
And it doesn’t take anything from me the next day.

Getting excited to build your life vs getting excited to drink at the weekend…

No contest.

If you’ve been feeling like you’re meant for more…
you probably are, you just need to take a break from the booze and see it for yourself.

Let’s do it 🔥🔥🔥

Getting off the booze isn’t the destination. It’s the gateway to something much greater.

I thought quitting was the win.

Turns out it was just the beginning.

When you stop drinking, you reach a junction.

You can carry on living the same life you always lived, just without the booze.

Or you can start becoming someone else entirely.

You get to decide who you are without it.

What you stand for.

How you live.

What you build next.

That choice is where everything changes, or not.

17/01/2026

This is a really important point that often gets brushed under the carpet, but it’s a point I’m passionate about sharing.

Yes you can be successful beyond your wildest dreams if you drink, but you would be far more successful if you didn’t.

Everyone is born with beautiful dreams and is capable of reaching them.

But over time the hope erodes.

Alcohol chips away at you and you start to accept, I’ll never be successful, I’ll settle for this life, this body, this job, these 4 walls….

But when you take a prolonged break from the booze you start to realise how small you have been playing at life!!

You realise you had more time than you ever thought, you realise you had more energy, more passion, more hunger, more peace….

You start to rediscover who you are and what you actually like doing, not what you thought you like doing.

The fact is, nobody can reach their full potential when they consistently drink.

We all get that mixed up in our heads because we all know people that are doing amazing things whilst drinking.

Success and full potential are very different.

You can be successful whether you drink or not, you can never, ever get close to your full potential if you are drinking on a regular basis.

I used to think having a few beers with the family meant I was improving my connection with them.

It gave me energy and confidence to say more after a stressful week, it made me feel better in the moment.

But it wasn’t until I took a long break from alcohol, then went back to it, that I realised it was having quite the opposite effect.

After a planned break from the booze, was a planned return…

The plan was in place, the beers were chilling and I couldn’t wait to have a few cold ones on a Saturday night at home.

I was consumed by what time I would crack the first one open, making sure I had enough time before dinner to get suitably tipsy.

Made sure the family meal suited my tipsy state.

Made sure we were all home in time for the evening football match on tv I could watch whilst having a few beers.

Then proceeded to pour a pint, drink it, constantly need to toilet, repeat.

Then watch the game in the time I wasn’t pouring a drink, peeing it out or putting the next batch in the fridge.

The dinner was ready but I was trying to push it back a bit as I wanted more pre dinner beers…

After we ate, my state changed. Instantly tired but too early to go to bed.

Do I carry on with few night caps? Or sober up?

You guessed it, the captain morgans came out and on we went.

By this point I’m totally detached from what’s going on around me.

In my own little bubble of drunkness.

No fun for anyone, including me.

Then I was faced with the daunting prospect of a drunk nights sleep. Making me feel awful the next day, with only one thing that could save me…. A beer.

The cycle continued.

You see it all seemed such an exciting prospect, but having just experienced such a peaceful few weeks before hand, where I was authentically immersed into my family life.

I realised that in my case and my life, alcohol is a purely selfish act and it becomes the primary focus.

That’s why for me, my life is better without.

I hope this resonates with some of you ❤️

How many days alcohol-free are you???

Let me know in the comments ⬇️

The alcohol free space is changing at a rapid rate and in my opinion, it’s never been easier to give it a whirl.

It used to be a big thing when someone you were meeting up with ordered a 0% drink.

But over the past few years it’s become more normalised, to a point where nobody really cares what you are drinking anymore.

This is amazing!

Not only is that making the space more inclusive from a non drinkers perspective, but it’s also making it easier for drinkers to give it a try.

That’s why it’s never been a better time to be a bit sober, choose a few more zeros, take a few more breaks.

Who knows where you will end up, it could be your soberest year ever? What an achievement that would be!

Who’s up for drinking less booze in 2026??

29/12/2025

Did anyone else find Christmas quite a lot this year?

Maybe it’s just me, or it’s the fact I’ve got 5 kids!

The constant prep before hand, the chaos of the day itself, the tidying up throughout, the daily overindulgence, the sugar, the cheese, the lack of exercise.

Maybe it’s because I’ve built a lifestyle for myself that’s pretty consistent in terms of exercise, diet and sleep, that I find the lack of movement, poor sleep pattern and the “f**k it it’s Christmas” attitude quite a lot to deal with when it gets to this stage!

I absolutely LOVED the excitement of it and we had the best day ever on Christmas, but today I got on a mission to get back to normality!

I’ve got back to work, we have ditched the decorations, cleaned the house, gone food shopping and it feels good!

Until next year 🎄

😍😍
