"Somewhere between 55 and 66 days, I found a new life. I slept well, I was happy, I was full of energy."
Imagine trying to climb a mountain without a guide. That's what quitting alcohol can feel like, but Chez found her way with the Tribe Sober community. In this episode, Janet Gorond chats with Chez, a South African who embarked on the 66-day alcohol-free challenge. Chez's journey started with a radio interview that planted the seed of sobriety in her mind.
It wasn't until 2018 that she decided to take the plunge and commit to the challenge, originally known as the Sober Spring Challenge. She shares how those initial days were tough – insomnia, low energy, and emotional turmoil – but somewhere between day 55 and 66, life transformed. Chez discovered a newfound happiness and presence, particularly with her son.
The WhatsApp support group played a pivotal role in her success, offering daily check-ins and camaraderie that made the struggle less lonely. Despite completing the challenge, Chez relapsed when she tried to go solo, realising that ongoing support was crucial. Her experience with bipolar disorder also highlights how sobriety allowed her medication to finally work effectively. Chez talks about the numerous benefits she experienced – better sleep, emotional stability, improved relationships, and more.
Chez's story is a testament to the power of community and habit change. She encourages others to try the Sober 66 Challenge, not just to quit drinking but to assess their relationship with alcohol. So, if you're curious about how you might benefit from a break from alcohol or simply want to explore your habits, this episode is a must-listen. The real question is – are you ready for your own 66-day transformation?
