FEEL GOOD HOUR PODCAST - EPISODE 4 CHRISTMAS DRINKS
In this episode we’re diving into Christmas Drinks — why alcohol creeps up at this time of year, how it affects our bodies and minds, and what we can do to feel more in control.
December is a month where the pressure rises and the pint glasses seem to refill themselves. If you’ve ever woken up thinking, “How did that get away from me?”, you’re in the right place.
Nigel Jones — life coach, hypnotherapist, NLP practitioner, author of Walking Back to Happiness, and founder of 9KM BY 9AM talks with DJ Sam Griffin.
We look at moderation, boundaries, alcohol-free options, staying steady at social events, and even what it takes to stop drinking altogether if that’s something you’re curious about. Whether you want to cut back, take a break, or simply feel more grounded, you’ll take away clear, practical tools today.
We unpack...
1. Why does alcohol consumption rise so sharply at Christmas?
2. What makes Christmas drinking feel harder to control than the rest of the year?
3. How does alcohol actually affect anxiety, mood and sleep?
4. What are the early signs we’re slipping into “festive autopilot” with alcohol?
5. How can we set boundaries around drinking?
6. How can we actually moderate our drinking around Christmas — in real, practical terms?
7. If someone wants to stop drinking altogether this Christmas, how can they do it — and what tools, habits and mindset shifts make it possible?
8. If someone has chosen not to drink at all, how do they handle peer pressure at work parties or family gatherings without feeling awkward?
9. What are the best smart swaps and alcohol-free alternatives that still feel festive?
10. If someone does drink more than intended, what’s the healthiest way to handle the next day — without shame or spiralling?
11. What’s the link between grief, loneliness and increased drinking over Christmas — and what can help?
12. From a personal perspective, what would you say to anyone thinking about cutting back or going alcohol-free this Christmas?
If something resonated try one small action. To connect with Nigel and find out more about his sober curious coaching programmes and his book Walking Back to Happiness, www.9kmby9am.com or email [email protected].
