Tribe Sober - inspiring an alcohol free life!

How an Identify Shift Changes Everything with Nigel Jones


Listen Later

Nigel Jones is a hypnotherapist, life coach and author of Walking Back to Happiness.

He is over five years alcohol-free — and in this conversation he shares a powerful insight that sits right at the heart of lasting change:

👉 Identity

We talk about why so many people struggle to quit drinking…

why willpower alone doesn’t work…
and how shifting from “I’m a drinker trying to stop” to “I’m a non-drinker” can change everything.

Nigel explained how repeated attempts to quit failed — until he made one crucial shift: changing his identity.

Instead of seeing himself as “a drinker trying to stop,” he stepped fully into the identity of a non-drinker — and everything changed.

Together, we explored:

  • Why identity is the foundation of lasting sobriety
  • How limiting beliefs keep us stuck in the drinking cycle
  • The “tabletop technique” for dismantling false beliefs about alcohol
  • Why alcohol promises what sobriety actually delivers
  • How visualising your future self can accelerate change
  • The role of environment, community, and “your tribe” in recovery
  • The surprising physical benefits of quitting — including Nigel’s calculation that he’s saved 26 million heartbeats
  • Nigel also shared some practical tools from hypnotherapy and coaching that can help you rewire your thinking and build a fulfilling alcohol-free life.
