In this episode, we explore the highs and lows of Sober October — not just the challenge itself, but what it can reveal. We talk about why some people thrive in this kind of short-term container… and why others find it just scratches the surface.

We also dive into the role of community — and why trying to go alcohol-free alone often leads people straight back to old habits. Having others around you who truly get it? That can change everything. You can register your interest in joining our community (launching soon below)

And finally, we share some of our favourite Quit Lit books and alcohol-free podcasts — the ones that helped us shift our thinking, build momentum, and feel less alone in the early days.

This is an honest, reflective conversation about what really makes the difference — whether you’re doing Sober October, just starting your journey, or looking to go deeper.
