IT'S GIVEAWAY TIME!

Tomorrow, we're releasing our latest podcast episode with the fabulous @tavaohalloran - and to celebrate her reaching 2 years of sobriety this week, she's very kindly given us 3 copies of her book, Queen Of Clubs, to give away to you lucky lot!

Queen Of Clubs is an AWESOME read. It's a wildly unpredictable, white-knuckled true story of a carefree 24-hour East London
party girl turned scandalous nightclub owner. It's an intimate insight into the captivating world of clubland, fighting through the darkness of addiction towards the light of sobriety. With determination, grit and an unforgivable rock bottom.

We LOVED it - and can't wait to share it with the winners!

✨ CONFIDENCE WITHOUT THE LIQUID COURAGE ✨

Quitting the booze doesn't have to mean your confidence plummets! Here are 3 ways to feel confident without grabbing a drink:

〰️ ACCEPT YOURSELF 〰️
You are AMAZING. You are UNIQUE. You are WONDERFUL. Remind yourself of this daily. You're the only version of you and you deserve to share your true, unaltered self with the world!

〰️ QUIT NEGATIVE SELF-TALK 〰️
Shut that little negative voice up! Each time you hear it piping up in the background, counter it with positivity. You could even write out a set of positive affirmations that you repeat to yourself each time that voice gets loud - it will help to train your brain into being positive and lovely instead of negative!

〰️ MAKE REAL CONNECTIONS 〰️
Build relationships that have deep foundations with people who you can be yourself with. People who accept you as you. People who make you feel your most badass confident self!

TRUTH BOMB 💣 It's a cliche, but it's so

TRUTH BOMB 💣

It's a cliche, but it's so true: the best and longest relationship you'll ever have is with yourself.

Getting to know the real YOU, why you think the way you do, why you act the way you do, why you feel the way you do - that's the true secret to living your most fulfilled life.

And you know what's guaranteed to get in the way of knowing yourself on a deeper level? Yep, that's right: ALCOHOL.

We don't need to tell you the HUGE number of benefits of quitting the booze, but this has to be one of the best. It can be terrifying, but it's so worth it.

Learning to love yourself starts with KNOWING your true self and going sober is the perfect starting point. Get used to spending time with yourself. Get used to embracing those uncomfortable moments where the voice in your head doesn't say what you want it to. That's the only way to build a real, fulfilling relationship where you can truly LOVE YOURSELF 💜
