One For The Road
<p>Thanks for joining me for this weeks episode of One For The Road. This week I am joined by Jo Ferbrache, also known by some as Sober Jo, who stopped drinking in January 2019 after she'd decided enough was enough and something had to change. She was a grey area drinker with an unhealthy relationship with alcohol - celebrate, commiserate - any excuse. She also used alcohol as a way to self-medicate her ADHD. Jo worked for a brewery and in advertising, a 'work hard, drink harder' culture. Jo completed a year-long charity challenge, raising over £15,000 for charity whilst changing her life for the better. Jo is a leader for the mindful drinking movement in Jersey, where she lives, and is passionate about sharing her Sober Journey to raise awareness and help others. She runs events on and offline for the sober community and is a certified coach, offering a 12-week Sober programme.</p><br><p>This episode of One For The Road is sponsored by <a href="https://tweaklife.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://tweaklife.co.uk/</a> Further information and links attached below.</p><p>If you want to connect with me via Instagram, you can find me on the instahandle @Soberdave <a href="https://www.instagram.com/soberdave/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/soberdave/</a></p><p>or via my website <a href="https://davidwilsoncoaching.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://davidwilsoncoaching.com/</a></p><p>Provided below are links for services offering additional help and advice and for Jo.</p><p><a href="http://www.soberjo.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.soberjo.com</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/realsoberjo/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/realsoberjo/?hl=en</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/RealSoberJo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/RealSoberJo</a></p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/realsoberjo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/realsoberjo</a></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/sober-jo/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.linkedin.com/company/sober-jo/</a></p><p><a href="https://alcoholchange.org.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://alcoholchange.org.uk/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.drinkaware.co.uk/advice/alcohol-support-services" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.drinkaware.co.uk/advice/alcohol-support-services</a></p><p><a href="https://nacoa.org.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://nacoa.org.uk/</a></p><p>Show producer- Daniella Attanasio-Martinez</p><p>Instagram - @TheDaniellaMartinez</p><br><p>This season's podcast is sponsored by a great new start up called Tweak Life.

Jo Ferbrache: From Brewery Life to Sober Living
“I know that I'm light and I'm dark, and in order to be the light, I have to have the dark inside of me.”
Ever wondered how someone can go from working in a brewery to becoming a leader in the mindful drinking movement? Meet Jo Ferbrache, also known as Sober Jo. In this episode of 'One For The Road', David Wilson sits down with Jo to unpack her inspiring journey to sobriety. Jo's story is one of transformation and resilience. She stopped drinking in January 2019 after realizing her relationship with alcohol was far from healthy.
Whether celebrating or commiserating, alcohol was her go-to, even as a way to self-medicate her ADHD. Working in a 'work hard, drink harder' culture didn't help either. But Jo didn't just stop at quitting alcohol; she turned her life around completely. She completed a year-long charity challenge, raising over £15,000 while changing her own life for the better. Now, Jo is a passionate advocate for sober living in Jersey, running events both online and offline to support the sober community.
She’s also a certified coach offering a 12-week Sober programme. Jo’s journey is a testament to the power of self-discovery and community support. If you're looking for inspiration to make a positive change in your life, this episode is a must-listen.
