Tailored Especially for
Rural & Remote Aussies

Simple, Practical and Effective Tools for Lasting Behaviour Change

You know you're missing out, that life is passing you by, and you are better, so much better, without alcohol holding you back. 


Don't waste any more time trying to quit by yourself.  If that approach hasn't worked so far, it's probably not going to.  This journey is so much easier when you have someone in your corner.

I know from first hand experience how hard it is to quit drinking when you live in rural Australia, with all it's beauty and benefits, but also it's unique challenges.  So I've created this program for those of us who call rural and remote Australia home, because we have a special way of getting the job done.

I've been where you are.  You don't have to do this by yourself.  You are no longer alone.  Let's do this together.

When was the last time you felt truly relaxed and at peace?  Do you remember?  Learn coping strategies to help you resolve difficulties and manage stress and anxiety without turning to alcohol.  You may even find your anxiety levels decrease as your body regains its vitality.

Who doesn't want more energy?  Without alcohol your body can return to its natural rhythm and your sleep will improve.  Learn to fuel your body with good nutrition, hydration and movement to lift your energy.  Create new habits and behaviours that serve you, not hinder you.

Discover your true values, how alcohol has impacted them and use that knowledge to empower you as you design your new purposeful, authentic life.  You don't have to have had a rock bottom to decide to change.  Be the author of your own wonderful future story.

I've done the hard yards of quitting alcohol and now it's my absolute passion to help others who want to do the same.

Hi, I'm Noelene and I'm a certified This Naked Mind Sobriety Coach with extensive training and experience in health and wellness, mental health and behaviour change.  For the last few years I've been helping rural people just like you to find the freedom from alcohol that I enjoy.  So you can say I have skin in the game.

I vividly remember what it's like to be where you are now, and how desperately I wanted to quit alcohol for so many long years - it was the one thing that was getting in the way of everything I wanted in my life.

I understand rural life.  I've walked my talk.  I speak your language.  There's no big city talk here, just good old fashioned country service and values.  The Quit Drinking Program is simple, practical and effective.

Just the way we like it.

The Quit Drinking Program will change the way you think and feel about alcohol, so it becomes easier to change your behaviour.....

Think New Things - Feel New Things -  Do New Things

 

This is how we do it:

Discover the truth about alcohol, why it is addictive, and what to do about cravings.  Learn why alcohol marketing is so pervasive and how it's almost impossible to avoid.  Build your own set of tools and tactics to handle all the ups and downs of life without having to rely on alcohol as a numbing agent.  Once you understand the simple science behind alcohol and why your body is doing exactly what it is designed to do, your thinking will start to change and it will become easier to say no.

Now you have the knowledge about how alcohol affects you physically and mentally, it's time to discover how you really feel about it.  Do you really like the taste?  Does it really help you sleep?  Does it really make you relax?  Take a look at where alcohol shows up in your life and examine whether or not the thoughts and beliefs you hold are actually true.  Identify the emotions you have attached to alcohol and discover how your feelings drive your behaviour, and what to do about it.

The last stage is learning how to enjoy living in your world without wanting alcohol, and taking action to move forward without shame, guilt, labels or having to put strict rules on yourself.  Make your own decision about whether you want to quit drinking, cut down or take a break.  It's entirely up to you.  No more feeling like you are missing out, because your toolbox will be full and you are confidently building a happier, healthier life for you and your loved ones.  

Here's how the program works:

1. Complete a module a week for 12 weeks
at a time and place that suits you

Each module will take about an hour to complete, but give yourself time during the week for doing the exercises, journalling, extra reading or to dip into the bonus resources.  You can access the content from anywhere, at anytime, on any device.  Download the app to make it really accessible.

2. Attend your BONUS PRIVATE COACHING SESSION with Noelene as soon as you can

These sessions are priceless and where you will really get the individual attention you need and deserve.  Work with Noelene to map out your own personal strategy and plan so that it suits you, your life, and your circumstances.  This is not just another self-paced program where you are left to figure it out for yourself.  

3.  Attend either or both of the weekly Q&A support meetings  - anonymously if you prefer

Join Noelene in the live, twice weekly meetings on Zoom for extra support and join in some group coaching if you want.  These meetings are private and not recorded and only open to clients of Rural Sobriety.  Feel free to join with your camera off if you prefer - it's perfectly okay if you do want to remain anonymous in the meetings.

4. Jump into the private community for connection, support and friendship

It is said that the opposite of addiction is connection.  Having a supportive community of like minded peers is invaluable, particularly as drinking can leave us feeling so alone and isolated. Noelene is in the group daily, so join in regularly to really get the most out of your program.  And of course there is the option to post anonymously if you would prefer to.

This program is designed especially for rural Aussies and our unique, special way of life. We understand the lifestyle of being in the bush, in a rural community or a small town.

Take A Sneak Peek Inside The Modules:

Module 1:  Setting Up For Success

Make sure you have all the right tools from the very beginning to get the most from the program.  Understand the Four Pillars of Sobriety and how they fit into your personal plan.  Preparation is the key.

Module 2:  Building A Strong Mindset

Identify where you are in the stages of change and map out a plan for moving forward.  Explore how your mind works and how The Pause can be so helpful when you are feeling stuck.

Module 3:  Understanding The Science

Learn the science behind alcohol - it's super easy - and when you know it everything else starts to make sense.  Explore how it impacts on your physical, emotional and mental health and identify ways to support your body. 

Module 4:  Using ACT - The Super Tactic

This is the one crucial tactic that will help you move from feeling like you are on the alcohol merry-go-round  to being able to live a life without alcohol holding you back.  Practise using the ACT Technique everyday on the things that have been holding you back from quitting in the past.

Module 5:  The Keys To Lasting Change

Embrace and implement these concepts right from the start.  Learn why having a positive mindset is crucial to your success and why overdrinking is not your fault but it is your responsibility.

Module 6:  Alcohol And Your Body

Take a look into what happens to your body when you stop drinking and how quickly healing can begin.  Learn how to support the changes with good nutrition, and why getting good sleep is crucial in the early days.

Module 7:  NURTURE Your Mind, Body and Spirit

Focus on nurturing your mind, body and spirit to give it every chance of healing well.  Self care is essential in recovery, so map out your individual plan for the future with these tools, tactics and lifestyle changes.

Module 8:  Navigating Tricky Emotions

Learn the truth about how alcohol impacts emotions like anxiety, sadness, anger and more.  Explore strategies to navigate through tricky emotions that inevitably come up, and how to implement them in the moment.

Module 9:  Understanding Addiction

Addiction and recovery looks different to everybody.  It's a very personal journey.  Take a look at binge drinking, blackouts, moderation, secret drinking and what drives the behaviours.  Discover why labels are not helpful.

Module 10:  Reinforcing A Positive Mindset

You have been practising the power of positivity for a while, so now is the time to look at building emotional resilience, ending negative self-talk and stilling that voice in your head.  Keep adding more tools to your toolbox.

Module 11:  Implementing Lasting Changes

The first year can be challenging, so get ahead of the game by having a strategy in place for every event or scenario.  Learn how to navigate Aussie culture without alcohol and what to do when you hit a rough patch.

Module 12:  Stepping Into Your New Life

You're feeling healthier, gained the knowledge about alcohol and built a well stocked toolbox for going forward.  You have a rock solid plan for navigating your future confidently and without feeling like you are missing out.  

How much is alcohol really costing you?

Let's face it, drinking alcohol costs money - a lot of money.  But do you know exactly how much drinking is costing you?  Are you ignoring the financial cost hoping that somehow things will miraculously change?  It rarely does, so why not bite the bullet and use this free calculator to crunch some numbers.  

Just imagine what you could do with the money you save after quitting drinking.  A holiday, a new car, house renovations, kids school fees, pay off your debt - you decide.

I'M BRAVE, SHOW ME THE NUMBERS

It's decision time.  Are you ready to choose you?

Or do you choose to stay as you are and not take any action?


The choice is yours.  No one can make this decision for you, and you need to be ready and willing to commit to doing the work.  There's no magic formula to quitting drinking, but there's a short cut. 

It's having an experienced sobriety coach in your corner, who has your back and will guide you through a structured program with the support, resources, tools and tactics you need.

I've got you and I'll be with you every step of the way.
