Finding Joy in Sobriety: Nigel Jones' Path to Freedom
I believe that sobriety gives you an edge. You know it's the sober people that are going to do a better job than the ones with hangovers every day. I mean, it's almost like you got that extra three or four percent, and that's enough to actually make you quicker, more alert, more astute.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around by simply ditching alcohol? Meet Nigel Jones, a sobriety coach and the brain behind '9 kilometres before 9am'. In this episode of Tribe Sober, Nigel sits down with Janet Gourand to share his transformative journey from heavy drinking to thriving in sobriety. His story begins with a cringe-worthy first sip of strong cider that made him sick, a common experience many of us can relate to.

But Nigel broke free from this conditioning and found happiness in sobriety. In this engaging episode, Nigel talks about the unexpected joys and freedoms that come with being a non-drinker. He highlights how mindfulness practices have helped him build mental resilience and find peace. His book, 'Walking Back to Happiness', perfectly encapsulates the feeling of reclaiming one's life and thriving without alcohol.
