Since we opened up the Sober Warrior 30-Day Challenge yesterday for Sober October, I’ve been getting a lot of questions.
I’d like to take a minute to address a few things—and also provide a sample 10-minute kettlebell workout for you to try.
You may or may not know this, but:
- I’ve been alcohol-free for over 5 years.
- I’m currently working on a Master’s Degree in Addiction Counseling.
- And my ultimate vision is to combine health, fitness, and sobriety into one powerful system—because I’ve seen firsthand how well they work together.
That’s what the Sober Warrior Challenge is about.
It’s not only for people who want to quit drinking forever—it’s also for anyone who just wants to take a break for 30 days and see how much better they feel.
Inside, you’ll get:
- One of my most popular kettlebell programs
- My Feed the Beast nutrition plan
- My Regenerate mobility and recovery program
Honestly, those bonuses alone are worth more than the registration fee. Check it out here.
But the real strength of this system is in the Four Pillars we focus on every day:
1. Mindset – Daily CBT-inspired action steps to break old patterns. (Example: reframes for handling cravings or social pressure.)
2. Community – A simple online chat where you check in and connect. It’s not as intense as group therapy, but it gives you accountability and support.
3. Movement – Training that builds strength and helps regulate your nervous system. Yes, we lift. But we also walk, do yoga, stretch, and recover.
4. Purpose – Optional, but powerful. Daily reflections (including scripture) to connect this journey to something bigger.
The truth is, research shows the most effective way to quit or cut back is multi-modal—you need more than just willpower. That’s exactly what this challenge is built on.
And, as I said, this isn’t therapy or medical intervention—I have referral resources if that’s what you need. But if you’re looking for a reset that hits body, mind, and spirit, this is it.
