Finding Freedom
I need to show you something....
After six months YOU get to decide how you want alcohol to show up in your life. You can continue to reap the benefits of an alcohol-free lifestyle or you can return to the wine. It's not going anywhere.
how would it feel to...
I wasn't expecting to become reacquainted with a younger version of myself.
When I was a teenager (before I started drinking), I was more joyful, energetic, hopeful, and creative. I feel like I'm drawing nearer to the person I was when I was 16/17/18 years old. It's sort of like finding an old friend. It makes me excited for the future in a way that I never was when I was drinking. It feels like I could be on the cusp of an exciting new chapter. "

hey there, friend!
I'm Christy Osborne
DOUBLE-CERTIFIED SOBRIETY COACH
I would start thinking about the wine on my way to school pick-up at 4 PM. Maybe it was one of those days that I had sworn off it when I woke up, or maybe it was one of those days that I had already admitted defeat. Regardless, it was always on my walk to school that I started thinking about opening up that bottle.
Just thinking about it at the school gates made me already feel relaxed; I had reached the end of the day. Then, finally, after an hour or so of supervising homework, I could wave the white flag and pour the glass. It was the ultimate treat. It was the ultimate reward for being a mom. I felt that I deserved those glasses of wine for all of my hard work. I believed it was helping me get through the evenings. I wanted that instant relief, that moment where it feels like your shoulders come down from your ears, and you can just... breathe.
Can you relate?
But then, one day, I realised the wine had started to take more than it was giving. I was always exhausted and felt like I was walking around in a fog. I snapped at my kids all the time. I constantly missed my workouts and was eating junk to curb the hangovers. I decided to stop drinking for a bit and see if that made a difference..
That's when everything changed.
I began to challenge my assumptions about alcohol. Was it helping me de-stress when I was stressed out? Was it helping me connect with my husband? Could I have any fun without it? Would it be possible to go on holiday without rosé?.
And then something incredible happened, I lost the desire to drink.

Finding Freedom
6 Months

- The opportunity to watch recordings of calls that you missed or want to re-watch.
- A private community (off Facebook) to meet and grow with your fellow Finding Freedom gals.

This course completely changed the way I view alcohol. It gave me the tools to change my behaviour. Instead of deprived, I felt alive and empowered.
"I have found a new sense of freedom - alcohol doesn’t control my environment or choices- I do. In learning the psychology around why we drink and how much, Christy encouraged all of us to stay focused on the positives and showed us all the things we gain when alcohol takes a back seat. I highly recommended this to any woman living in our modern world."
– Amy, San Fransisco, California
Here are a few examples of popular lessons within the course..
"What do I tell my friends?"
In this lesson, we'll look at how to handle friends & family who give you a hard time about not drinking.
- This isn't about you, it's about them. You are holding up a mirror to their drinking.
- How to plan a night out so you don't feel uncomfortable when you order a mocktail.
- What to say when your friends question your decision.
How to Handle Cravings
In this lesson, you’ll learn expert coaching tactics to get you through that 5 o'clock witching hour.
- Learn what your body is really asking for instead of wine.
- Learn how to recognise triggers, and change the drinking habit.
- Play the tape forward. What does the next morning really look like if you have that drink?
Why Willpower Alone Doesn't Work
In this module, you’ll learn why it's been so hard in the past to stick to a break from alcohol.
- Willpower is like a dying battery. By the end of the day, you have none.
- Instead we will dive deep on how you can lose the desire to drink.
- Losing the desire to drink means no more "should I/shouldn't I" battles. This is the key to freedom!
Does Moderation Work?
In this lesson, you’ll learn why moderation is so darn tricky!
- Why some of your friends can moderate, but you can't seem to make it work.
- How it feels to be able to take it or leave it.
- Three reasons the substance of alcohol makes moderation difficult, including the science behind dopamine.
What happens if I slip-up?
In this module, we are going to reframe this journey. This is not about perfection, it's about progress.
- In this lesson we talk about how "slip-ups" can be used help us along the way. We call these "data points."
- When we have a drink, what can we learn about how you felt afterwards? How was your sleep? Did you have hangxiety after?
- Strategically planned data points can help us learn how alcohol is really holding us back.
"Some HUGE things I've learned: Alcohol does not relax me. Alcohol does not make parenting easier. I do not like how alcohol tastes. I do not need alcohol at social events or celebrations to have a good time. I am so much calmer and content. I've been able to stop taking prescription medication for my anxiety because the change in my mood is so profound. I'm so much more present with my kids. The fact that I haven't had "hangxiety" or a hangover in months is worth the cost of the program alone. "
" I did your course in January 2022...Well, it’s nearly Christmas and I still haven’t had a drink. I’ve not actually wanted a drink. So many friends ask me “are you missing it? “Will you have a drink Xmas day”? “Will you get really pissed when you’ve ticked of a year”? NO NO AND NO!!!...Thank you for being there for me at the right time and the right place. Life-changing doesn’t even begin to describe the change you started in my life, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart." "

"At the start, I wanted to lose weight, sleep and have glowing skin. I got those and more: for the first time seeing my future filled with clarity, adventure, laughter and being present with my family. If you are looking for a breakthrough, I cannot recommend Christy enough."
"I looked forward to the daily videos, journaling, and assignments. Even after completing the first 30 days, I knew I wanted more of the knowledge Christy had to share. I appreciate the open communication and knowing I had a friend in my corner at all times. I know I wouldn’t be where I am today (happy and excited about living alcohol-free!) without Christy. She is truly a forever friend."
