What is Sober October?

Sober October is an amazing initiative that encourages people to go booze-free in October to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support. The benefits of going Sober October are obvious: you stay sober, feel better, and help people living with cancer. Join here

Here are some tips that will help you to make the most out of the month of sobriety. 

Keep the balance

The hardest thing in going Sober October is to begin. Start with realizing how much and how often you drink, what are the main reasons behind your drinking, and what you would like to change in the way you drink. There is no need to remove alcohol from your life entirely if you don't want to. It’s all about balance. It is OK to drink a glass of wine, a beer, or a cocktail once a week, and you don't need to beat yourself up for doing so. You can always get back on track and keep on your journey. 

Find new things to do

Going Sober October doesn't mean that you need to avoid social events and stop meeting people. Having a drink certainly isn't the only way to treat yourself at the end of the day. Choose alcohol-free options in the bars and start doing things you always put away for later. This can be starting reading a book you never had time for, watching new series, going to the gym, or taking dance classes. It is a great chance to focus on doing new things and meeting new people. 

Share your thoughts

Of course, you shouldn't make all your friends and relatives join you in your sobriety journey. But you can share your progress with them, tell them how you feel, what changes have you noticed in your mind and body. Maybe your story will motivate others to join you. If you don’t really like the idea of talking about your sobriety challenge, you can try journaling. Writing your thoughts down is a great way to track your progress and focus on your feelings. 

Listen to your body

Cutting off alcohol has a positive impact on our health and wellbeing. Your sleep improves, your liver functions better, you feel more energized, productive, and even can lose weight more easily. One of the main reasons why you are doing this is to feel better, to be better. Notice all changes in your organism and remember about the positive impacts of staying sober. 

Discover Alcohol-Free Options

Going through sober October might be challenging without healthier alcohol-free alternatives. Fortunately, we got you covered with this. At Lassou you can find delicious booze-free options for your nightcaps as well as recipes of amazing non-alcoholic cocktails.
