Kori Sampson and Lauren White are two incredible people who have built their dream lives off the back off a tumultuous relationship with alcohol that was keeping them from achieving their potential. We've taken the key themes from our July wellness panel where they shared their thoughts on sobriety, wellness, fitness and how to craft the life you want...
Why Sober Curiosity is Growing
The rise of sober curiosity can be attributed to social media influence and a collective desire for healthier lifestyles. Just as smoking has become less socially acceptable, alcohol is following suit. Particularly, Gen Z is leading the charge, making more conscious choices about what they put into their bodies. This shift isn't about black-and-white thinking but embracing a spectrum of healthier lifestyle choices.
Transforming Lives Through Sobriety
For many, removing alcohol is life-changing. It can be a profound journey of self-discovery and reclaiming happiness. Sobriety is not merely abstaining from alcohol but a complete rewiring of one's identity. By letting go of alcohol, you can rediscover your authentic self and build a life rooted in true joy and purpose.
You've already got what you need
Whether you're exploring sobriety or supporting someone on their journey, remember that change begins from within. It's about planting the seed of self-awareness and nurturing it with patience and compassion. The path to wellness and authenticity starts with one step—believe in yourself and take it.
Building a Life of Purpose and Balance Without Alcohol
From Passion to Lifestyle
Turning a passion into a lifestyle requires perseverance and self-belief. It’s about taking small steps every day, embracing failure, and persisting through rejection. The journey is unique for everyone, but the common thread is the courage to start and keep moving forward.
Relationships and Sobriety
Navigating relationships and dating while sober comes with its challenges. Setting clear boundaries and being upfront about your sobriety are essential. Sobriety boosts self-worth and purpose, making it easier to find connections that respect and align with your values.
Routine and Mindfulness
Routine is crucial in breaking the cycle of drinking. It might mean changing your environment initially and then finding a structured routine that includes stretching, journaling, reading, working out, and proper nutrition. Creating a balanced life is about more than just finding yourself—it's about actively building the life you want.
Supporting Others
Helping someone else break a habit or addiction involves planting the seed of change without imposing pressure. People need to realise their need for change on their own, but your support and encouragement can be a catalyst for their journey.
