Alcohol Free Life - Janey Lee Grace – Details, episodes & analysis

For this episode we have teamed up with Mocktails

Mocktails the award-winning alcohol-free ready-to-drink cocktails brand was set up as a mixology inspired drinks company in 2018 by Bill Gamelli and two other founders. The Mocktails mixologists have spent years sourcing exactly the right botanicals and combining them in precisely the right quantities to arrive atthe delicious, complex and tantalising balance of flavours in every Mocktails drink.

The world’s first non-alcoholic drink to launch in 200ml nitro-charged slim cans Mocktails come in four  flavours: Karma Sucra Mockapolitan, The Vida Loca Mockarita, Sevilla Red Sansgria, and Scottish Lemonade Mockscow Mule. Each flavour is 100% natural, sustainable, and ethically sourced. They’re also vegan, gluten free, low in sugar and calories, and the packaging is 100% recyclable too.

Janey's guest is Susan from Hola Sober and they chat about the importance of setting healthy boundaries and taking proper care of yourself, especially in the early weeks of quitting alcohol.

Hola Sober magazine is out next week @holasober

Navigating Sobriety: Setting Healthy Boundaries

1. Communicate Clearly and Confidently

Let your friends and family know about your commitment to sobriety. Be direct and clear about your boundaries. For example, you can say, “I’m not drinking anymore, so I’d appreciate it if we could avoid activities centered around alcohol.” Setting these expectations upfront can help prevent awkward situations and ensure everyone is on the same page.

2. Have an Exit Strategy

Sometimes, despite our best efforts, we find ourselves in environments that challenge our boundaries. Plan an exit strategy in advance. This could be driving your own car to social events so you can leave when you need to, or having a trusted friend who can help you out of uncomfortable situations. Knowing you have a way out can reduce anxiety and help you stay firm in your sobriety.

Setting boundaries isn’t about isolating yourself; it’s about creating a supportive environment where you can thrive
