Thanks for joining me for this week's episode of One For The Road. I am going to be taking a Summer break for the next couple of weeks but I will be back in August with more brilliant shows and guests.
On this week's show, I am joined by Louisa Evans. As a therapist and hypnotherapist, Louisa was no stranger to helping others quit unwanted habits but when it came to her own relationship with alcohol, she struggled. After spending more than a decade attempting moderation, she finally declared that enough was enough and embarked on a sober life, and that’s when the fun started. She found herself in a resetting loop with far too many "day ones" before making the necessary mindset shifts that changed everything. Even with all the tools at her disposal, she realized she was self-sabotaging. Fast forward to today, and she is delighted to have booted alcohol out of her life having created a sober identity that is far more appealing than her old drinking one. Louisa is now on a mission to spread the message far and wide that you don’t need to hit any sort of rock bottom to walk away from alcohol and that if you struggle at the start it doesn’t mean you won’t succeed eventually. It’s all about mindset. She’s now written a book which is also available as an audiobook, Becoming a Sober Rebel, on the subject of early sobriety and mindset where she talks about her experiences with going sober and shares tools that she uses in therapy when it comes to habit breaking.
