Sarah Hiscox’s deep self-esteem and addiction issues began in childhood when she was given powerful sleeping pills for her nightmares. Then, as a young woman, a toxic relationship with food morphed into a full-blown heroin dependency that neither a loving marriage nor a new baby could halt. After years of cycling through relapse and new starts, Sarah’s relationships were wrecked. In rehab she was confronted with herself and all that she’d lost. But it would take repeated attempts for her to understand even her worst day of abstinence was better than the days she relapsed.

Two habits. One root cause. One system to end them both — using the hours you already spend asleep. You've probably tried to quit smoking, or cut back on drinking, or both, using the same tool every time: willpower. And it probably worked, for a while, until stress or just an ordinary Friday quietly pulled you back. That's not a character flaw. The part of your brain that makes resolutions and the part that reaches for a cigarette or pours a third drink are not the same part, and no amount of wanting it badly enough closes that gap.

The goal isn't to be sober. The goal is to love yourself so much you don't need to drink. For decades we have been sold the idea that alcohol is our 'reward' at the end of a busy day. We use it to celebrate and commiserate, for self-care and socialising, and to relieve the stress of the daily grind. But alcohol affects our physical and mental wellbeing in ways we don't even realise. It negatively impacts our sleep, anxiety levels, weight and skin, not to mention our mood and mindset. If you can't remember when you last felt energised, optimistic or motivated, you are not alone.
