Start Your Journey

When “Just One Glass” Becomes a Daily Struggle

You pour a glass of wine after the kids are in bed, telling yourself it’s a reward for making it through the day.

But lately, that one glass has turned into two or three.

You wake up groggy, irritable, and filled with guilt, promising yourself tonight will be different.

Yet, as evening approaches, the cycle repeats.

You're not alone

Many parents find themselves caught in this quiet loop — trying to cope, to relax, to numb — while yearning for real peace and connection.

But what if there’s another way?

Imagine a life where mornings feel clear.

Where you meet tantrums and to-do lists with patience instead of panic.

Where you feel proud — not punished — by your choices.

Our 30-Day Press Pause Program was made for parents like you.

It’s a compassionate, judgment-free reset designed to help you explore life without alcohol — and rediscover who you really are.

What can you expect to gain from a 30 day pause?

Physical Benefits

Better Sleep – Most people report falling asleep faster and waking up feeling more rested, once the initial adjustment period passes.

Increased Energy – More consistent energy throughout the day; fewer afternoon crashes.

Weight Loss or Reduced Bloating – Many notice weight loss or reduced puffiness, especially around the face and midsection.

Mental and Emotional Benefits

Reduced Anxiety – A significant number report a noticeable reduction in anxiety levels (after the initial adjustment phase).

Improved Mood & Mental Clarity – People describe feeling clear-headed, more focused, and less foggy.

Feeling Empowered – Many say, “If I can do this, what else can I change?”

Lifestyle and Social Benefits

Realisation of Drinking Patterns – Many say they become aware of how much they drank and why.

More Productive Evenings/Weekends – With no hangovers, people tackle hobbies, fitness, or personal projects.

Better Parenting – Those with kids often say they feel more patient, present, and calm.

Unexpected Or Deeper Insights

Clarity About Their Relationship with Alcohol – Some realise alcohol was more of a coping mechanism than they thought.

Surprising Enjoyment of Socialising Sober – Initial fear replaced with confidence that they can enjoy themselves without drinking.

Desire to Extend the Break – A lot of people finish the 30 days saying, “I don’t want to go back yet.”

We’re Claire and Karl

Over 8 years ago we pressed pause on alcohol and now live an alcohol-free life with our twin girls.

Although that was not always the case, with five children in our blended family, some of our older children unfortunately witnessed our alcohol consumption. We are acutely aware of the detrimental impact this had on them.

We understand the immense challenges of parenting, work, and coping, and how easily alcohol can become a convenient escape.

As certified alcohol-free coaches and parents who have walked the same path, we are here to guide you on your journey to an alcohol-free lifestyle. Our approach is gentle, honest, and devoid of judgment.

We are certified Positive Psychology and Alcohol-Free Performance Coaches, with a diploma that’s triple-accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), The Association for Coaching (AC) and the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC) specialising in sober coaching for parents.

What is Sober Coaching and How Can It Help You?

Introduction to Coaching:

Sober coaching is a personal, supportive approach designed to help you navigate the highs and lows of living alcohol-free. Whether you’re sober curious, a grey area drinker or looking for ongoing support in your sobriety journey, coaching offers the guidance, accountability and encouragement you need to thrive.

How Coaching Works:

Through 1:1 or group coaching, you’ll work with an experienced highly qualified coach who understands the complexities of alcohol-free living. Together, you’ll explore your unique relationship with alcohol, identify triggers and develop strategies for managing stress, social situations and emotional well-being. Coaching isn’t about judging or fixing you; it’s about empowering you to make the best decisions for you..

How It Helps:

Coaching helps you by providing:

Personalised Guidance:

Tailored strategies to address your specific challenges and goals. Designed by coaches that know what it takes to reach an alcohol-free life.
Accountability

Small non-FaceBook community full of people on the same journey as you. All supporting each other to reach their goals. Weekly check ins and support from the founders.
Support:
A safe, non-judgmental space to discuss your struggles and successes. Daily support from the coaches.
Empowerment

Tools and techniques that help you build confidence and maintain lasting change. Without the tools you will struggle to succeed.

Why coaching works:

Unlike traditional therapy or counselling, sober coaching focuses on actionable steps and sustainable change. It’s designed to meet you where you are, whether you’re taking a break from alcohol or aiming for long-term sobriety. The relationship with your coach is built on trust, respect and understanding, ensuring that you’re supported throughout your journey.

James 30, Dad of 3

"I felt more connected with my kids"

"After just 30 days, I felt more connected with my kids and confident about my choices. Thank you, Karl and Claire."

Bee, Mum of 2 (Evie age 11 & Ronnie age 9)

"At 65, I wasn’t sure this was for me"

“At 65, I wasn’t sure this was for me, drinking had been part of my life for decades."

"But just 30 days gave me better sleep, more patience with my grandkids and a clearer head. I only wish I’d done it sooner.”

Ken 65, Dad of 2 and Grandad of 4
