"Change is uncomfortable and there were obstacles I faced, but where there is change there is also massive growth." Much of what I observed in my youth made me think drinking alcohol was a normal thing to do, but still a choice everyone has to make on their own terms....

"My health is better, my blood pressure is normal, I am happy, I am consistently learning and striving to be better." I was a ‘wine time’ drinker, a ‘mummy’ drinker, a ‘the kids aren’t here’ drinker, a ‘I’ve had a hard day’ drinker. This evolved into a ‘I don’t want...

"I LOVE getting an accountability email every morning. It makes such a big difference." Alcohol was disrupting my energy and confidence. It was consuming my thoughts. And spiritually, it was blurring my vision. I averaged 3-5 bottles of wine per week and tried MANY...

Why did I make the decision to stop drinking alcohol altogether? Bottom line. I was drinking too much. Was I hiding bottles of vodka in the dishwasher like Phil Mitchell did in the 90’s? No.  Was I about to lose my house or be sacked from my job? No.  Did I hit the...

"Instead of giving up something bad for me, I am embracing something which is good for me" When I was seventeen my (wonderful, moderate drinker) parents sat me down and told me they were worried my life was getting a bit out of hand. ‘What do you mean?’ I asked...

"It is amazing to think all this can be achieved by making one simple lifestyle change" Life was good while I was drinking. All aspects of my life were going well so had no reason not to enjoy myself. At any opportunity I could, I would go drinking. I was always...

"I can’t wait to see where life takes me on this beautiful journey without an end." Before coming across OYNB I was a daily drinker. Although in the evening it often could have been considered excessive, it rarely interfered with my work. I would reward myself after a...

"I starred in over 35 performances during my 90-day challenge, and every single one I did alcohol-free." My drinking goes back to the start of my college days – about 25 years ago. I drank a lot in bars with my best friend to make myself feel more confident, or to...

"I relish my clear, calm head and have no desire to give that up." Before OYNB I was predominantly a social drinker, so my triggers tended to be sporting events and nights out with friends. I still had a lot of alcohol in the house after choosing to take a break from...

"I’d say that anyone who questions whether they might drink too much or wants to stop, should consider OYNB. It has literally changed my life." I actually started drinking later than most, it wasn’t until after college. It started with a few beers or wine on weekends,...

I started this journey on my own, drinking in the house. An ad for OYNB kept appearing on my Facebook feed. After sinking around 8 cans of Stella I was feeling low, anxious and depressed with no motivation. I was tired of drinking every day and the negative feelings I...

"A few weeks in I remember crying because I felt so beautifully free." Drinking was always a fun event for me. I started in my early 20’s and always associated it with parties and going out dancing. When I was 25, I fell into bartending and that’s when alcohol started...

"I am so happy to be ending my fifties alcohol-free and look forward to a new alcohol-free life." I joined OYNB in July 2019. I had been drinking almost daily for the past year. I was drinking out of loneliness and boredom, often hiding or thinking I was hiding how...
