Hello
I'm so pleased that you found my website, and I hope you see something here that helps you on your journey.
​
I've learned a lot about not-drinking in 17 years, and one thing I know for sure is that no one will understand how you feel right now better than someone who has been where you are.

Check out my story below and see if anything resonates with you, and check out my workbooks, journals, playbooks and more.
My Story
Hi I'm Louise, and I've been alcohol free for almost 17 years.
I stopped drinking on 14th August 2007, after a long and ugly drinking career that lead me to a very-near-death experience.
Like many women of my generation, I used alcohol as a socially acceptable way of managing the stress in my life.
​
I was very definitely an over-achiever, and that's how I used alcohol to help me to get everything done, for the husband, the twins and the business.
All this worked very well for a surprisingly long time.
But (there is always a BUT), in the end it caught up with me because I had gone from social drinker, to heavy drinker, to alcoholic without even feeling the transition.
So for me, it was too late.
I was too far along my drinking to be able cut back my drinking, I was at the stage of being physically addicted to alcohol so I had no choice but to quit for life.
​
From that day in 2007, until today, I have never had another drink.
Now, I don't want you to think it was easy. It wasn't.
I didn't have anyone to help me, I'd never even met anyone before who had been through anything like this. This was when the internet was in its infancy too, so it was hard to find information on anything to do with being alcoholic....unless you wanted to go to an AA meeting.
​
One thing I understood very early on though is that I could not rely on my willpower to stop me drinking. The doctors had told me if I started drinking again it would kill me. I could not let the very thin line of willpower be the only thing between me and my death.
It was one thing that I had stopped drinking, now I had to work out how to 'stay-stopped'.
I started working on a system. A process of what I needed to do to stay sober. As that system started working for me, then I started sharing it with other women who wanted to quit drinking or to drink less.
​
Over the years I have shared my programs with many thousands of women around the world.
My focus is on providing a MIND-BODY-SOUL solution for you, which is why my program includes mindset, mindfulness meditations and more that work together for a full-stack solution for every woman who wants to drink less.
If any of this resonates with you, I look forward to sharing your journey with you!
