Using Sober October to Build Real Change That Goes Beyond Day 31

Using Sober October to Build Real Change That Goes Beyond Day 31 In this episode, I’m getting honest about what “just taking a break” really means. Whether you’re trying to reset, test your willpower, or prove something to yourself, I want to help you go deeper — and actually get what you came here for. I’ll walk you through the two times I took breaks (30 and 60 days), how I convinced myself I was in control, and why both times led to even worse drinking. You’ll learn how to spot when your relationship with alcohol has gone too far, why 30-day challenges don’t create lasting change, and what to do instead if you want to stop starting over. If you're waking up on Day One of Sober October with mixed feelings — hope, fear, uncertainty — this episode will give you a plan and a path forward. HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ Taking a break isn’t proof of control. It’s often a sign you’re already negotiating with something that has too much power. 2️⃣ 30 days won’t fix what alcohol was covering up. The real transformation comes after the “break” ends — when you're building a life that works without alcohol. 3️⃣ You need a plan that holds you. Structure, self-trust, and emotional support are the foundation for lasting change — not just willpower or white-knuckling. RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: If you’re serious about making this stick — not just in October, but in real life — you need more than good intentions. 📓 90-Day Focus Planner – Built for sobriety, mental clarity, and next-level focus 💬 Book a Free Call for Private Coaching – 6 weeks of strategy, mindset, and full support 🎧 More Podcast Episodes MORE FROM ANGELA Follow me on Instagram → @addictionunlimited Join the Facebook Group Book a Clarity Call if you're ready to stop spinning and start building SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW Love this episode?
