Giving Up Alcohol Is Easier When You Prepare for Success
Giving up alcohol can feel tough no matter what type of drinker you are. And at One Year No Beer we’ve learned one simple truth:
trying to “wing it” does not work.
Real change requires preparation — the same way an athlete prepares for a race.
That’s why our members succeed.
We give you the tools, structure, mindset and support to make your alcohol-free challenge an exciting adventure rather than a struggle.
Below are three proven tips to help you stop drinking with less stress — and with far more success.
1. Start Now — There’s Never a “Perfect Moment”
Waiting for the stars to align is a trap.
There will always be birthdays, dinners, parties, holidays, stressful weeks and “just this one” moments.
So why not start today?
Join the 30, 90 or 365-day challenge and surround yourself with a community who gets it.
You’ll receive:
daily email support
podcasts & mindset tools
buzzing forums and community
a free e-book
guidance from people who have walked the same path
You’re not doing this alone — you’re joining a tribe.
2. Use the Challenge as Your “Pub-Proof” Reason
Most of us need a socially acceptable excuse to step away from drinking — something simple and stigma-free.
That’s exactly what OYNB provides.
When friends or colleagues ask why you’re not drinking, simply say:
“I’m doing the One Year No Beer challenge for 30/90 days to see how productive I can be.”
No awkward explanations.
No heavy stories.
Just another challenge — like a mud run, a fitness goal, or a marathon.
People respect that.
3. Set a Physical Goal That Pushes You Forward
Quitting drinking gives you an unbelievable amount of extra time, energy and clarity.
Use it.
Set a goal that stretches you:
If you can’t run around the block — sign up for a 5K.
If you can run a 5K — aim for a half marathon.
If you’re already active — register for a tough mud run, hike, cycle event or swim challenge.
Having something to train for keeps you focused and anchors your alcohol-free commitment in real, visible progress.
Your confidence rises.
Your identity shifts.
You start to feel unstoppable.
