A past student
A big thank you for making sobriety an actual possibility in my life where anything else I have tried in the past has failed.
If you could...
confidently break the old drinking pattern...
...feel genuinely good about saying no to a drink,
and wake up energized and empowered each day—
...would you give yourself that gift?
Or, would you keep on…
Lying awake at 3 a.m. with a pounding headache and scratchy throat, trying to piece together last night.
Staring down the wine bottle, whispering, “I’m stronger than this,” while fighting back the voice, “Just one glass won’t hurt.”
Feeling left out while sipping your sparkling water, trying to ignore the quiet whisper, “Why can’t I drink like everyone else?”
Waking up with a pit in your stomach, realizing you’ve broken yet another promise.
Good news:
An alcohol-free life doesn’t have to be so exhausting, dry, or filled with FOMO.

Sober Curiosity Experience
You’ll uncover how to become empowered AF (alcohol-free) —
and reclaim joy and freedom, without relying on alcohol’s help.
Why You Need to Discover How to Become Empowered AF—From a Therapist Turned Sobriety Guide
HEY, I'M JEANETTE!
Between the ages of 16 and 30, I drank myself to sleep every single night.
But when I finally decided it was time to change my relationship with alcohol,
I didn’t walk into an AA meeting —
I walked into graduate school and specialized in addiction and alcohol misuse.
Through helping myself, and many others, break old drinking patterns, I realized that the traditional approach to an alcohol-free life can feel intuitive — yet often proves counterproductive.
That’s why I created the Sober Curiosity Lab for high-achieving people who don’t resonate with traditional recovery models.
Because “just quit” is not always the answer.
Here’s why we really drink—
a loop that involves four hidden forces, and only one of them is actually about alcohol
Universal
Needs
Alcohol often serves a purpose — to help us relax, connect, or feel belong.
Learned
Beliefs
We were taught to see alcohol as a shortcut to meet those needs — a way to unwind, be social, or fit in.
Habit
Loops
When drinking “works,” our brain takes note. With enough repetition, habit loops form, making drinking feel automatic.
Powerless
Mindset
We start to believe in stories like “I can’t have fun/relax/connect without drinking,” and these beliefs keep us stuck.
Once you understand these four hidden forces, breaking old drinking patterns stops being about “just stop drinking,”
But about strategically outgrow the old drinking loop.
Here is how we do it inside Sober Curiosity Lab:
Realign your needs with what truly matters to you
Rewrite the stories that keep fueling the desire to drink
Build empowering skills to release alcohol as a crutch
Upgrade the mindset to turns challenge into progress
So you can outgrow the old drinking loop — and unlock a joyful, empowered alcohol-free life.
3 Reasons Why You Want to Become Empowered AF:
Empowered rather than “surrendered”
We believe what you lack is not power, but tools.
To help you become Empowered AF, we don’t ask you to surrender — we show you how to intentionally replace alcohol with empowering tools.
Outgrown instead of “recovering”
The mainstream narrative calls going alcohol-free “recovery.”
We see it as discovery — consciously outgrowing a habit that no longer fits.
That’s why in the Lab, we don’t stop at breaking old patterns. We help you reinvent a joyful, fulfilling AF life where alcohol no longer plays a central role.
Aligned instead of "Abstinent ”
You’re not here to give up alcohol for its own sake.
You’re here to make space for what matters most.
Inside the Lab, we don’t focus on abstinence for its own sake; we help you align your choices with your values — so change feels meaningful and sustainable.
A Past Student
After having worked through this course I feel as though my relationship with alcohol is changing. Although I am not completely there yet, I no longer feel the need to drink to have a good time relax, or reward myself for a long week at work.
