Information On The 'Sober Joy' Group Programme

Your Guided Path To Sustainable Sobriety

Let’s explore what an alcohol-free life could look like for you.

GREAT TO MEET YOU

I'm Gill McKay

of Inquistive Coaching

I help professional, successful women to break free from the hold of alcohol and stop it unravelling their lives.

I quit the wine in 2017 which has been a life changing journey back to health and I now work with women to change their relationship with alcohol and say goodbye to those awful feelings of being “sick and tired of being sick and tired.”

I have been coaching, mentoring and training for over 30 years and am a certified Gray Area Drinking Coach, Sober Club Coach and Mental Health First Aider.

This really helped me to shift my beliefs around alcohol (and) I had the power to remove it from my life if I chose. Which I did!”

- Tracey

"It has left feeling much more aware of how I use alcohol and how I can choose to have more healthy alternatives."

- Frances

"If you’re sitting on the fence and wondering whether to engage Gill, do it today! It’s a decision your future self will thank you for forever."

Thank You For Being Here

Our paths have crossed and you are here. So thank you. Maybe you are hearing a whisper now that this is the right time to explore what an alcohol free life could look like. Listening to these whispers is the start to real change.

Do you really want to put drinking alcohol behind you?

Do you want to say goodbye to feeling "sick and tired of feeling sick and tired"?

Do you want new go-to solutions?

Do you want to design a life you don't want to want escape from or drown out?

Over 12 weeks, this programme will take you on a journey of discovery into your relationship with alcohol. So you can then transform how you think and feel about drink and put it firmly in the past.

Get Ready To....

  • Uncover your real motivations for drinking and what may have been holding

    you back from changing your habits

  • Re-write your drinking story, and make peace with your past

  • Work through the underpinning reasons for drinking

  • Learn strategies to set you up for long term success

  • Build a sober toolkit to help you live life to the full without the alcohol

  • Feel healthy - physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually

  • Discover so much about yourself, beyond the drinking, so you can become fully aligned with the choices you make for your future

  • Find out who you are alcohol-free

  • Design a life for yourself that you don't want to escape from or drown out

  • Develop that inner sense of "knowing" that living alcohol-free is for you

The 'Sober Joy' programme follows 12 weeks of intensive exploration, each focusing on a particular aspect of your alcohol relationship. These topics are explored face to face on zoom in a weekly 60-minute group coaching session where we unpick your challenges and brainstorm options for you to embrace in the future. The coaching discussions will help you to truly anchor what matters to you as you make changes in your life.

What Makes 'Sober Joy' Sustainable For You?

I work at the physiological as well as a psychological, behavioural level helping you to tune into your body through somatic coaching as well as your mindset and behaviours through reflective coaching. When you drink alcohol, your brain chemistry is out of whack and these 12 weeks will help you to regulate, replenish and reset your nervous system, reduce cravings and anxiety - and literally rewire your brain!

When alcohol is taken away it is essential to add in nourishing resources to help you feel balanced, grounded, healthy and aligned with your choices. We start with the basics of food, water, sleep, exercise and breath work – and I share a multitude of other resources for you to try out to support you as you progress. Working with both the mind and the body in harmony helps to set you up for long-term success.

Here's A Snapshot Of What You Will Experience

  • Weekly video content and discussion topics for 12 weeks for you to watch at your own pace

  • A weekly workbook with exercises, reflections and journal prompts

  • A toolkit of somatic resources to help reset your nervous system for you to practise, building week by week

  • A live zoom group coaching session once a week

  • An on-boarding 30 minute call with Gill prior to the start of the programme

Before the training starts, I connect and have a short 15-30 minute chat with everyone who wants to join. Why not book a free discovery call to ensure this programme is right for you and to have your questions answered.

If you want to follow the programme privately and not as part of a group, then do book a discovery session with me and we can discuss the options.

“Not drinking enabled me to sleep better, have a more even temperament and be able to cope with stressful situations in a more healthy way.”
