WE NEED YOU FOR FAMILY CONSTELLATIONS!

Join us Sunday 21 July for our special workshop, its life changing. Book: https://www.thesoberclub.com/family-constellations/

Janey's guest is Alex Clapp, who has owned multiple businesses in the North West including his flagship firm, County Cost Consultant for 23 years.

Earlier this year, Alex co-founded Claritee, a corporate wellness company comprising no alcohol corporate events, bespoke corporate training and the recent establishment of a CIO department.

Claritee was born from Alex’s struggle with addiction as a result of a deteriorating eye condition that developed in 2015. With no confirmed diagnosis, Alex resorted to alcohol to cope with his mental health, covering up to family, friends and peers about his affliction. Thankfully, after seeking help, Alex attended multiple rehabilitation centres and has been sober for 20 months.

Through his own plight, Alex endeavoured to help others in a similar situation; individuals in the corporate sphere who may be struggling to admit vulnerabilities. Claritee’s mission is to provide services which encourage individuals to prioritise their wellbeing and instill practices to maintain positive mindsets.

They also chat about the upcoming awards:

Janey's guest is Susan from Hola Sober and they chat about the importance of setting healthy boundaries and taking proper care of yourself, especially in the early weeks of quitting alcohol.

Hola Sober magazine is out next week @holasober

Navigating Sobriety: Setting Healthy Boundaries

1. Communicate Clearly and Confidently

Let your friends and family know about your commitment to sobriety. Be direct and clear about your boundaries. For example, you can say, “I’m not drinking anymore, so I’d appreciate it if we could avoid activities centered around alcohol.” Setting these expectations upfront can help prevent awkward situations and ensure everyone is on the same page.

2. Have an Exit Strategy

Sometimes, despite our best efforts, we find ourselves in environments that challenge our boundaries. Plan an exit strategy in advance. This could be driving your own car to social events so you can leave when you need to, or having a trusted friend who can help you out of uncomfortable situations. Knowing you have a way out can reduce anxiety and help you stay firm in your sobriety.

Setting boundaries isn’t about isolating yourself; it’s about creating a supportive environment where you can thrive
