In preparation

In September, try to slow down your alcohol intake to half of what you'd normally consume.

If you have a special occasion in October, ask someone to buy you a Golden Ticket to have a night off while still raising funds.

Plan your non-alcoholic alternatives! Mocktails, ginger ale, soda water and lime, non-alcoholic beers and wines, herbal tea…

Plan your meals and shopping list so there are no temptations during the week if you become short on time!

Remove all alcohol from your house. Ask a friend or family member to store your alcohol for the month.

Prepare your body and mind for abstaining from alcohol. Try some new mindfulness activities!

In October

Get support from other participants by creating a Sober October team with friends and family.

Keep yourself busy – make the most of your weekends! Try a new hobby or go on an adventure outside.

Fundraise! What better motivation to stay sober than knowing you’re raising vital funds for women with breast cancer?

Use our downloadable posters to count down the month and see how much you've achieved.

Get active. Why not pair your sober month with a new exercise routine?
