Hey, hey 👋🏼 I'm Sarah
Retired from drinking - but not from fun!
I used to drink even though I knew I'd be better off without it.
I persevered because it's what everybody else was doing.
Not now though... read on to find out why
👇🏼
I drank through my 20s, 30s and 40s in different ways at different times.
More than was good for me!
There were date nights with my husband,
girls' nights out
and evenings in alone.
There were festivals, parties, weddings, days at the races, impromptu nights in the pub,
difficult days at work and overwhelming parenting times.
Towards the end of my drinking career I scaled it right back but there was still the G and T on a Thursday night, the few glasses of wine on a Friday night and the Saturday finishing off the bottle so it didn't "go to waste!"
Some weeks I didn't drink at all
(Dry January and Sober October were firmly fixed in my calendar)
and some weeks were ... well ... too much "fun!"
It took a long time to come to the realisation that the choice to drink (or not to) was down to me.
Many things got in the way of my decision for too long but it needn't take so much time or effort for you.
I'm here to support you.
I've been a coach and mentor (15+) years, I have lived experience and I am fully qualified and insured.
👇🏼 These are my coaching packages 👇🏼
With me you'll get specialised 1:1 support, kindness and care
Personalised resources
Recommendations for additional research/reading
All to move you away from your current relationship with alcohol and
onto the better things you want from your one precious life.
Before you click "Get started" maybe you need more reassurance?
Perhaps you are sick of thinking about drinking, recognising that the thoughts are taking up more head space
than you'd like and realising you're not behaving in a way that lines up with your values.
Maybe you've tried to quit before?
But...
You've thought you'd be lonely, miserable and boring without alcohol in your life
Your friends have said you're not as much fun when you don't drink
You normally connect/discuss the day with your partner over a drink
You LOVE the taste of it
So... You feel alone, unsupported
You feel like you have a 'problem'
You feel sad
Maybe you worry that the path to support means AA or a conversation with your GP/Doctor you just don't want to have.
Uh huh, yep.... that was me too!
I googled 'Where is my nearest AA meeting' and then cried!
I made an appointment to speak to my doctor and than cancelled it.
I tried speaking to my friends and then stopped.
I didn't want judgement, pity or condolence!
I didn't know what I wanted but I knew I needed change.
You might be thinking...
"I can do this myself, I don't need to pay for any help"
That's great.
If you can do this yourself - you should.
I couldn't, I tried (many times) and I feel no shame in that now. In the end I got the support I needed (and I paid for it).
I needed and wanted accountability, support, information, advice, understanding, guidance, tools, techniques, resources, love and a bit of no nonsense talking to get me through the early days of my alcohol free life.
You deserve that too.

Hey Sarah - I've got questions...
Can I work with you if I am alcohol dependent?
No, the best treatment for you will be from a medical professional, please seek advice from your Doctor on the best way for you to access the help that you need. I'm not a qualified Doctor and cannot help you if you need medical rehabilitation or a residential programme.
Will I have to stop drinking completely?
You can choose to reduce your intake if you want - it's up to you, you'll set your own personal goals. I won't be able to come round to your house and wrestle the bottle out of your hand though. If you're wanting to work towards an alcohol free life - you're in the right place!
How will the programme be delivered?
On Zoom for our 1:1 video calls
Any other questions please get in touch sarah@drinklesslivebetter.com
I usually answer within 24 hours: in between seeing my lovely clients, creating mediocre artwork, walking my Black Labrador Martha, reading or wrangling teenagers!
A word on my lovely clients... You are lovely, you know!
In all my time working 1:1 with people who want to change their relationship with alcohol I have NEVER worked with anyone less than lovely. Aren't I lucky? Nope, it's not luck. It's about us crossing paths at exactly the right moment in time.
I know it's a lot... but if I don't put my qualifications, accreditations and membership bodies here then where? 🤷🏻♀️
