Let's Be Honest About December
The festive season is magical... until it isn't.
Somewhere between the third work party and Christmas Eve, the pressure to keep up, say yes to everything, and drink through the chaos can leave you foggy, exhausted, and already dreading January.
What if this Christmas was different?
What if you remembered the conversations? Woke up clear-headed every morning? Actually enjoyed Boxing Day instead of surviving it?
This advent calendar isn't about perfection or going completely dry (unless you want to). It's about approaching December with a bit more intention and a lot more self-awareness.
You deserve a festive season worth remembering.
Keep the magic — just without the mayhem.

QUICK-FIRE FAQ
IS THIS REALLY FREE? WHAT'S THE CATCH?
Yes! The calendar is completely free, made possible by brilliant alcohol-free and wellness brands that sponsor it.
You get valuable content; they get a chance to introduce you to their products, and I get to bring you into the world of mindful drinking and moderation, and if you click an affiliate link and purchase any of the drinks recommended, I earn a small commission that helps me keep the platform alive. Everyone wins. No catch. If it's not for you, you can unsubscribe at any time.
IS THIS ALL ABOUT "GOING SOBER"?
Not at all. This calendar is for anyone who wants to drink a bit more mindfully this December — whether that's cutting down, taking breaks, or exploring AF alternatives. All approaches welcome. No judgment permitted.
I MISSED DEC 1st, CAN I STILL SIGN UP?
Most definitely. You can join anytime in December. All previous doors stay unlocked, so you can binge-catch-up or just start from today — whatever works for you. We're just glad you're here. And remember, it's better to start on the 10th than not start at all!
WHAT IF I MISS A DAY?
No stress. All 25 doors stay unlocked throughout December, so you can catch up whenever suits you. No one's checking attendance.
CAN I GIFT THIS TO SOMEONE?
Absolutely! Just forward them this page. It's a thoughtful (and free) way to support someone navigating Christmas with clarity.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER CHRISTMAS?
Ah, now you're thinking mindfully!
The advent emails take you right through to Christmas Day. If you loved the daily structure and want to go deeper to create lasting change, my 4-Week Midlife Mindful Drinking Reset is available year-round — a structured program to help you build sustainable moderating (or alcohol-free) habits whenever you're ready to start.

I really love the way you talked about things. I'm someone who stopped accepting the pressure to drink at every social event, and now if I drink at all, it's a mindful amount.
Thank you for this.
