The Last Day One. Ever.

Mid January is often the time that intentions, goals and resolutions seem to fade. "Real" life takes over.

You are back at work, the kids are back at school, credit card bills have started to arrive - somehow that promise you made to yourself that 2017 WILL be the year that you quit drinking...well, that doesn't seem so important right now.

I know, because I've been there myself - many times.

I often get asked - what changed? What happened that made your sobriety STICK?

To answer this (and other questions), I am hosting a live webinar. I'll talk about my sober journey and answer questions.

You are all welcome to attend. Today's event has been postponed until next week!

* The webinar will be held on Thursday 19 Noon PST and will last about 45 minutes.
* It's completely free.
* You won't need software - you just follow the link that I'll provide in an email before the event.
* You'll be able to type questions in real time via a messaging system OR
* You can email me questions beforehand and I'll answer them during the event.

I understand that many of you are concerned about anonymity. If you prefer NOT to message questions that other participants can see, as I said you can email questions beforehand. I'll answer the questions as best I can - without naming you of course. You can then just view the event - and no one will know that you are there.

You will be initially automatically signed up for my weekly newsletter. This is a function of the software I use - however you can immediately unsubscribe if you don't want to receive them.

The newsletter comes out once a week - and appears in your inbox from "Jackie Elliott's Sassy Life" - so there is no mention of sobriety or drinking etc - and includes articles/blogs/podcast episodes, and information about products and services, free and not free, from the website.

I hope that answers some questions - I hope that Thursday's event will be useful - last thing! - if you can't attend LIVE - everyone who signs up for the event will get the recording, so you can watch it later.

Here's the sign up link -https://sobersassylife.simplero.com/page/70410-the-last-day-one-ever

And you can email me here with questions  jackie@sobersassylife.com

If you would like to sign up - please use the links above, that I've updated.
