Having a tribe is one of the most helpful things to get you on to sobriety. And even if you don't really know if you want to be permanently sober, being sober curious and looking at your drinking is an amazing thing to do.
What if your drinking problem was actually an opportunity for positive change? In this episode of Tribe Sober, host Janet Gourand sits down with Lucy Dentith, a dedicated member of the Tribe Sober team, to explore this very idea. Lucy's story is one of transformation, having attended a Tribe Sober Masterclass in London back in 2018 and remaining sober ever since. Now, she’s a key player in the Tribe Sober community, helping others find their path to sobriety.
Lucy delves into the importance of having a supportive community. She emphasizes that being part of a tribe like Tribe Sober can make all the difference, offering encouragement and a sense of belonging that’s crucial for lasting change. She also talks about the power of tracking progress. Using tools like a sobriety tracker can turn small victories into significant milestones, shifting the focus from negative thoughts to positive achievements. Another key point Lucy discusses is finding your 'why'.
Understanding the reasons behind your desire to quit drinking can provide motivation during tough times. It’s about focusing on the positive benefits rather than viewing sobriety as a loss. Lucy shares how reframing challenges as opportunities can change your entire mindset, making the journey to sobriety more manageable and even rewarding. Planning for success is another strategy Lucy highlights. Especially during challenging times like the festive season, having a plan and visualizing enjoyable outcomes can keep you on track.
Her practical advice on developing healthy coping strategies and changing your mindset is invaluable for anyone on the path to sobriety. Lucy’s inspiring journey and practical wisdom offer hope and guidance for those looking to transform their relationship with alcohol. This episode is a testament to the power of community and personal growth, showcasing how support and the right tools can lead to a thriving, alcohol-free life.
