I felt fantastic, so I extended my challenge to 90 days, then 365! – Andie Holman

I found myself on a roll – Richard Fletcher

“One doesn’t get over 30 years of drinking in just 28 days” – This resonated with me. I knew I needed to carry on and committed to the 90-Day Challenge. It was ‘way’ back in 2018 that I realised that I was probably consuming a little too much alcohol. I’d been a...

I wanted to break the cycle – Maartje Lute

Whenever I tell people about doing the OYNB challenge they are always a bit surprised. ‘But you don’t have a drinking problem, do you?’ ‘What did we miss’? ‘We know you like a glass of wine or two or a Gin Tonic, but was it that bad’? Well no it wasn’t that bad. I...

I'm awake and living every moment – Lee Owens

One of the hardest things I have done in my life, but also one of the most transformative and meaningful. I had been a drinker from about the age of 14. As I got further into my 30s I was drinking almost daily, a few drinks as a matter of habit and the main way I...

My heart would swell with pride and gratitude – Kristin Fleming

On Christmas Day, 2020, I began my day with mimosas at 8:00 a.m. Throughout the day and evening, I drank wine on a consistent basis. This wasn't that unusual from any other day at this point in my drinking career. Always needing more, and never having enough. I...

OYNB really does break the psychological cycle – Jayne Gomez

I love life each and every day! – Lisa Jones

It’s beyond anything I could have imagined, I never knew you could live life without alcohol. Life before OYNB was very much like a treadmill. Wake up, do my daily routines, pour a big glass of Pinot Grigio at 5pm for both myself and my (now ex) husband and watch TV....
