This is a series of 66 mini podcasts - to support you through a 66 day alcohol free challenge.
The challenge lasts for 66 days because thats how long it takes to change a habit.
We have published an e-book called "66 days to sobriety" (available on our website https://www.tribesober.com) - this book contains 66 pages of tips, tools and motivation so I will read a page a day for these mini podcasts.
I will also update you on the healing taking place in your body and mind as you progress through the 66 days.
Meditate
I have been doing yoga since my twenties but when it came to meditation I just couldn't seem to get the hang of it.
I would sit there, legs crossed, eyes closed but mentally I would be veering from extreme boredom to planning what I was going to eat for dinner.
Over the years the evidence has been stacking up that meditation reduces stress, helps to keep us calm and enables us to sleep better.
It's a great coping strategy and your alcohol free period might just be a good time to give it a go.
When I first tried meditation we didn't even have cellphones never mind "apps" but these days technology is there to help us.
I go to a weekly class and use one of my meditation apps on a daily basis - and I think I am getting there
There are two apps that I love and use regularly - "Headspace" and "Calm"
So why not give meditation a try - there is nothing to lose but your stress
