048 5 Things I Learned From The First 30 Days Not Drinking

<p>5 Things I Learned From Doing the First 30 Days Alcohol-Free</p><p>In today’s episode of the I Quit Wine Podcast, I’m sharing five of the biggest lessons I learned from doing the first 30 days without alcohol — and trust me, I’ve done those first 30 days more times than I can count.</p><p>If you’ve ever found yourself stopping, starting again, promising yourself “this time will be different”, or wondering why moderation still feels exhausting… this episode is for you.</p><p>Inside the IQW Collective, we’ve just started a 30-day reset around changing our relationship with alcohol — because the real shift isn’t about “resetting your drinking”. It’s about changing the relationship itself.</p><p>In this episode, I talk about:</p><ul><li>Why your <strong>“why”</strong> matters more than anything else</li><li>The powerful question to ask yourself about your relationship with alcohol</li><li>Why you don’t necessarily need to change the ritual — just the ingredient</li><li>What cravings are really trying to tell you</li><li>The exhaustion and emotional flatness that can happen in early sobriety</li><li>Why “just one” is usually the first one, not the only one</li><li>The truth about stepping back onto the “downward escalator” of drinking</li><li>What happened after I drank again, following a full year of being alcohol-free</li><li>Why overthinking drinking keeps so many women stuck</li><li>How to start building emotional freedom instead of relying on willpower</li></ul><p>This episode is honest, compassionate, and deeply practical if you’re navigating grey area drinking, taking a break from alcohol, or ready to stop the stop/start cycle for good.</p><p>If you’re ready to stop overthinking drinking and start changing your relationship with alcohol in a supportive, compassionate space, I’d love to welcome you inside the IQW Collective.</p><p>You’ll get:</p><ul><li>My 30-day relationship reset</li><li>Alcohol Freedom courses</li><li>Coaching and support with 2 live calls each month</li><li>A private community of women who truly get it (this is a small group &amp; it's fine to be anonymous) </li><li>Lifetime access to everything. You join once and stay for as long as you would like to.</li></ul><p><a href="IQuitWine.com/iqwa" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Join the IQW Collective here.</a></p><p>And if this episode resonated with you, I’d love for you to share it or send it to someone who might need to hear it today.</p><p><br /></p>

047 A special announcement if you are ready to change your relationship with alcohol

<p>🎧 A New Home for the <a href="https://www.skool.com/i-quit-wine-iqw-collective-3336/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">I Quit Wine Collective</a></p><p>In this short episode, I’m sharing something really exciting—I’ve created a <strong>brand new home</strong> for the I Quit Wine Collective, and I wanted to tell you all about it.</p><p>This is a space that’s been evolving for a while, and it finally feels like it truly fits what we’re creating together.</p><p>Here’s what I cover:</p><p>🏡 <strong>The New Home for the </strong><a href="https://www.skool.com/i-quit-wine-iqw-collective-3336/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>IQW Collective</strong></a><br>I talk about why I’ve moved everything into a new platform and created a more supportive, private space for you. The old Facebook group just wasn’t working—so many women didn’t feel comfortable sharing there, and it stayed very quiet. This new space feels completely different.</p><p>✨ <strong>What’s Inside the Collective</strong><br>Inside the <a href="https://www.skool.com/i-quit-wine-iqw-collective-3336/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">IQW Collective, </a>you’ll find my core programmes—the IQW Freedom Formula and the IQW Academy—along with private podcasts, tools, resources, and ongoing support. It’s all in one place now, which makes it so much easier to actually use and benefit from.</p><p>💛 <strong>A Flexible Way to Get Started</strong><br>I’ve changed the pricing so you can come in for a month and explore, with no pressure. And if you join for a year, you’ll also get a <strong>1:1 coaching session with me</strong>, which is such a powerful way to get clarity on what’s really going on for you.</p><p>🌿 <strong>Who This Is For</strong><br>If you’re someone in that grey area—not a heavy drinker, but also not someone who can just take it or leave it—this space is for you.<br>If you know alcohol isn’t serving you anymore and you want to pause, reflect, and understand your relationship with it more deeply, you’ll feel right at home here.</p><p>🧠 <strong>Getting to the Root of It</strong><br>In our work together—especially in 1:1 sessions—we look at what’s really driving the drinking. Your patterns, your beliefs, your emotional triggers. Because that’s where the real shift happens.</p><p>🌍 <strong>A Global, Supportive Community</strong><br>We have women joining from all over the world, and I’ll be hosting live calls each month at different times to suit different time zones. Replays will be available (unless something very personal is shared).</p><p>🔒 <strong>A Safe, Private Space</strong><br>You can share in the group or message me privately—whatever feels safest for you. Especially while the group is still small, there’s plenty of space for personal support and connection.</p><p>🔥 <strong>30-Day Challenge Coming Soon</strong><br>Next month, we’ll be running a <strong>30-day challenge</strong> inside the Collective to help you really shift your relationship with alcohol. We’ll dive into the emotional side of things—the beliefs, the patterns, and the tools that actually make a difference.</p><p>🌟 <strong>What’s Possible for You</strong><br>I also talk about the deeper truth of this journey—how so much of our drinking is tied to beliefs that life will be less enjoyable without alcohol. And when you shift that? The freedom, the joy, the lightness… It’s incredible.</p><p>If this is calling you, I’d absolutely love to welcome you inside.<br>📩 <strong>Send me an email at iqwwithsarah@gmail.com</strong></p><p>You can also check out the<a href="https://www.skool.com/i-quit-wine-iqw-collective-3336/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"> Collective via this link</a></p><p>I’m sending you lots of love—and I’ll speak to you again soon. 💛</p><p><br></p>
