NO BOOZE FOR 90 DAYS
Can I do it?!
I love a G & T or glass of the fizzy stuff, pretty much my whole social life is based around the liquid stuff!...... BUT in 2018 whilst sitting in a beautiful restaurant in Greece, my daughter asked me (after a night of boozing on holiday at an all-inclusive resort!)
"Mummy, why do you drink a drink that makes you feel so rubbish and makes you feel rubbish the next day?
That innocent, direct and flipping amazing question stopped me in my tracks!!
It planted the seed of doubt, the seed of questioning, the seed of threat (or opportunity?)
Since then there's been a little voice in my head asking me the question over and over and over, like a bad song, or even worse the Peppa pig theme tune! haha
It's now 2021 and I've got through a global pandemic, home schooling, my corporate training and coaching business going down the pan over night, launching a new on-line Kick 4ss Coaching Programme, a puppy, two kittens and day to day life..... all with the help of my trusted gin bar (yep I've got a whole cupboard dedicated to the stuff!)
BUT....... now is the time.
I need a challenge.
I need a change.
I need to feel my best.
So, after many years of social binge drinking I've got to an age and life-stage where I started questioning myself:
* Am I drinking consciously or is it habit?!
* Does drinking alcohol make me feel good or crappy?
* Am I the best version of myself when I drink (or the day after!)?
* Do I drink because I want to or people expect me to?
* Do I like it?
* Do I want it?

I've spent my entire career (20+years!) helping people become the best version of themselves. To feel good about themself. To recognise their strengths. To be the person they really want to be. To live the life they really want to live.
No hiding. No pretending.
Simply being their own incredible self. Living an amazing life - every single day.
When I think about it and am brave enough to get honest with myself, drinking booze simply does not fit with my own version of this anymore. ........ Or does it?
So........ the challenge is for me to give up booze for 90 days (and then we will see!)
This is going to be hard, super HARD.
So to help me I am doing it for charity. An incredible charity. A charity that helps young people get the support and time they need to be their best selves. The 'Young Minds' Trust does exactly that and I feel proud to raise money for them.

"We want to see a world where no young person feels alone with their mental health, and all young people get the mental health support they need, when they need it, no matter what."

I would love you to support me, to support this charity, support our young people.

I’m going to document my 90day journey, sharing the good, the bad and the ugly bits – ekkk! I'll be doing videos and writing a short journal, which I would be happy to share with those people interested.
If that’s you please pop your details in below and I’ll let you know how I’m doing.
I hope it will inspire you to try something which challenges you mentally, emotionally, and physically (like this will me!), whilst raising money for a cause you are passionate about.
Wish me luck!
