Design Your Own OYNB Journey (With a Little Help From Those Who’ve Gone First)
Your alcohol-free journey is yours. You get to decide the pace, the structure and the long-term goal.
But you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. OYNB was built from the experience of people who’ve already walked this path — and turned it into a repeatable, reliable process for changing your relationship with alcohol and, ultimately, your lifestyle.
Below is how the full “OYNB ecosystem” fits together — from your very first challenge to deep personal development later on.
Step 1: Your Alcohol-Free Challenge
For some, the OYNB challenge is the very first serious attempt at going alcohol-free. Others arrive after Dry January, Sober October, pregnancy, or previous AF stretches. Either way, the challenge is your gateway into OYNB.
Start small, build big
28 days often feels manageable when 90 or 365 days seem impossible.
By the end of those 28 days, many people are already feeling:
better sleep
clearer head
more energy and motivation
That’s usually when upgrading to 90 or 365 days starts to feel not just possible, but desirable — because that’s where deep, lasting habit change happens.
The “gym” analogy
Think of OYNB like a gym:
The challenge = your core workout plan
You show up, follow the structure, adjust to your level, and build strength over time
For many, this structure alone is enough to change their relationship with alcohol
But just like in a gym, some people want a class… or even a personal trainer. That’s where the rest of the OYNB ecosystem comes in.
Step 2: Alcohol-Free Me (AFM) – Your “Group Class”
Alcohol-Free Me is a monthly subscription that adds an extra layer of support on top of your challenge.
What AFM gives you
A tight-knit, private community beyond the main group
Access to current behaviour-change resources and tools
Multiple Zoom calls each week with your AFM circle
Direct support from specialist AFM coaches
A space to:
troubleshoot cravings and triggers
test different tools and techniques
accelerate your progress and confidence
AFM is designed to work hand-in-hand with your alcohol-free challenge, reinforcing long-term habit change.
Because it’s a rolling monthly subscription, you can stay for as long as you want — even after your original challenge has ended.
Step 3: 1:1 Coaching – Your “Personal Trainer”
If AFM is like a group class, then 1:1 coaching is your personal trainer: a fully tailored approach built just for you.
What 1:1 coaching can help with
Mapping out a personal roadmap for your goals:
alcohol-free lifestyle
career transition
health, mindset, or broader life ambitions
Identifying limiting beliefs and unhelpful patterns holding you back
Designing practical, realistic habits to replace them
Building the confidence to recognise and act on new opportunities
You can work with your coach:
Alongside your alcohol-free challenge, or
After your challenge, to focus on the “what’s next?” phase of your life
If you’re curious about how coaching could help, you can book a free 20-minute discovery call to explore whether it’s the right fit.
Step 4: MasterMind – What Comes After “I’m Alcohol-Free?”
For many people, something interesting happens after 90+ days alcohol-free:
You’ve changed your relationship with alcohol… and then you realise you want more from your life as a whole.
That’s exactly why OYNB created MasterMind.
What is MasterMind?
An intensive six-week course with a tested framework for:
clarifying what you really want from life
setting meaningful, aligned goals
building a plan to achieve them
A deep dive into:
vision and values
mindset and self-belief
structured, practical action
The focus moves beyond alcohol and into how you want to live, work and show up in the world. It’s about becoming a master of your own mind, not just your drinking habits.
MasterMind runs a few times per year with limited spots, so if it feels like the natural “next step”, it’s worth reserving your place early.
Live Life Better: Events, Courses & Masterclasses
Over time, OYNB has seen the same pattern again and again:
Once you change your relationship with alcohol, you start noticing other areas of life you want to upgrade.
To support that, OYNB runs the “Live Life Better with…” series:
Deep dives into habit change science and tools
Sessions on alcohol and menopause, meditation, and more
Guest experts and exclusive partnerships across different fields
Ongoing chances to learn, ask questions and refine your lifestyle
Wherever you are on your journey — day 1, day 101, or years alcohol-free — you can dip into these sessions to keep growing.
Where Do You Want to Start?
Whether you’re:
just thinking about your first 28-day challenge,
looking for extra support with AFM,
ready for 1:1 coaching, or
itching to tackle your next big life goals with MasterMind,
there’s a place for you in the OYNB ecosystem.
