Carnelias Sober Coaching

I'm delighted to be working with Create Strength Group to start a new sober social group in Shipley.

We will meet in early March to sort out dates for our first meetups. DM me if you're interested ☺️

Christmas parkrun and sea swim in sunny Scotland ticked off yesterday!

If you feel like you could be doing more with the Christmas break than lying on the sofa nursing a hangover, sober coaching could be for you.

Message me, or check out The Sober Club coach directory https://www.thesoberclub.com/find-a-sober-coach/ to find the right coach to help you build a life you don't want to numb out from in 2026.

I'm a teacher as well as a sober coach, and it's the end of that long, hard autumn term for me today.

Six years ago I was two weeks from making the best decision of my life - to stop coping with the stresses of teaching by numbing out with wine every night.

If you're the sort of teacher who the marketers who made the glass in the photo below are thinking of, it might be time to rethink your relationship with alcohol. It could be that it's the cause of your anxiety and not the solution!

I offer a free 45 minute coaching session for anyone who would like to explore whether sober coaching could help them design a life they don't want to numb out from.

Head over to https://carnelias.com/coaching/sobriety-coaching/ if that sounds like a gift you'd like to give yourself for 2026.

If you're worried about your drinking becoming unmanageable this Christmas season, you're not alone.

I ended my relationship with alcohol on New Year's Eve back in 2019 after becoming sick and tired of feeling sick and tired, rather than merry and bright!

The solution to a difficult relationship with alcohol is not self-control, it's connection.

If you'd like someone to talk who is not going to judge, and who could leave you feeling excited about the possibility of building a life you don't want to numb out from, I can help.

I offer a free, no pressure 1-1 coaching call for anyone who wants to know a bit more about what sober coaching is and how it works. Check out https://carnelias.com/coaching/sobriety-coaching/ and see if 2026 could be your year to break free from the alcohol trap.

If you're already feeling like you're going to need to reframe your eating and exercise habits in 2025, look no further!

I'm a sober coach, and I'm running a brand new, FREE programme called Reframe at Shipley Nuffield in January and February 2025, funded by WISHH (the Windhill and Shipley Health Partnership).

Reframe is designed to help you change your relationship with alcohol and work on your fitness so you can enjoy a happy healthy 2025.

It's on Thursdays at 6.30-8.30pm from 9th January to 27th February.

It's free of charge as Nuffield have kindly allowed free use of their premieses AND instructors, and you get a FREE 8 week pass to use the gym and pool at any time if you participate in the course.

There will be a 45 minute group sober coaching session each week, followed by an instructor led fitness session. We'll be trying out a range of strength, mobility and cardio activities including swimming, kettlebells and jeffing (run-walk intervals.)

With Alcohol Explained – I am proud to say I have just been recognised as one of their top fans! 🎉 Reading Alcohol Explained flipped some kind of switch in my head. I decided to give up alcohol just days later on 1.1.2020 and have never looked back!

If you'd like to eliminate your wine habit, don't hesitate to get in touch. I have just had a really touching testimonial from a client I have been working with for a few months now:

"I have gone from zero alcohol free days in a month to 27 alcohol free days in a month. I hope to continue increasing that number. I know how to deal with cravings. Lucy has given me an extensive toolkit that we have developed together, which is tailored to my lifestyle. I have felt understood and supported throughout the whole process. Every obstacle that has cropped up; social events, tough times, parenting troubles, relationships; Lucy has coached me through them all. I have lost weight, gained energy, saved money and I have better relationships with my children. I am sleeping better, my anxiety has decreased and I am more sociable, and active than I was. I am enjoying life more and enjoying the simple things in life."

Still getting my twice weekly morning runs in. I remember when I started running feeling incredibly self conscious and finding it quite foul. But the self consciousness slowly ebbs away, and as you get fitter and stronger it becomes easier and easier. And because it makes you feel good for the rest of the day, you actually start to look forward to it.
