TABB 28: Step in with intention
Before The Course Begins: What to Expect
Welcome to TABB 28 - A Take A Break from Booze for 28 days.
You’ve made a brilliant choice to give yourself space, clarity and support to explore your relationship with alcohol.
The aim of this course is simple:
To take a break from alcohol so you can assess how you want to move forward, with no pressure or judgement, just guidance and connection.
This is your time. Remember, the more you put in, the more you’ll get out.
- Commitment matters - You’ve signed up and this is your commitment to yourself.
- Time & effort - Lessons are designed to take anywhere from 15–45 minutes a day depending on time commitments on any given day. You choose how much time you give.
- Adaptable pace - You can adjust the pace and the amount of material you take in each day to suit your schedule and learning style.
- No overwhelm intended - There’s a lot of information, yes but it’s all relevant and here to support you.
- Keep it in the day - We take things one day at a time. If for whatever reason you do drink, you start again the next day and move forward. We don’t dwell on the previous day, we simply refocus on today.
- Written by women who understand - Every lesson has been created by women who have taken a break from alcohol.
Our Recommendations for Success
- BYOR - Build Your Own Routine
We suggest doing the daily lesson first thing in the morning as part of a new 28-day rhythm.
Check in with the Discuss section later in the day to connect with others in a supportive way.
Turn off notifications if they get distracting! - Minimum on busy days - Read the welcome + first part of the lesson, watch the video, and comment on Prompt One in the Discuss tab.
- Set your study time - Whether it’s before breakfast, during a lunch break or before bed, make it a daily non-negotiable that suits you.
Getting Started on Day One
- Take a photo of yourself and record a short voice note about how you’re feeling and why you are taking this break.
There is absolutely no obligation to share - it’s for you, but can be very powerful to look back on. - Have a notepad or journal handy for thoughts, reflections and insights.
Scenarios & Real-Life Examples
- Many lessons include scenarios. These are typical examples of how women deal with taking a break from alcohol.
- They’re designed to help you see yourself in different situations and explore possible ways of handling them.
- You’ll be invited to weekly closed Zoom calls exclusively for women on this course.
- These are confidential and a great way to deepen connection, ask questions and feel supported.
- We strongly encourage you to attend - they add another dimension to the experience.
- If possible, use a laptop or desktop - it’s easier to navigate the content, though it does work on a phone too.
- At the end of every lesson and video, answer the discussion prompts in the discuss area at the left handside of the lesson on a desk top computer. If you are on a phone look for the double arrows on the screen which will take you back to the discuss area. These arrows will be located in different places depending on what mobile device you are using.
- Reach out if you feel overwhelmed- either in the discuss area or privately at hello@tabbforwomen.com. We’ll get back to you.
- Take a moment to reflect on why you’ve signed up and what you hope to gain.
- This is a reflective journey - your thoughts and experiences will shape what you get from it.
- Sharing with other women can be deeply supportive and transformative.
Final Note
You will get from this course what you put in. Some days will feel easy, others might feel challenging but you’ve already taken the hardest step by signing up.
Remember: we keep it in the day. Every morning is a fresh start.
We’re excited to walk this path with you.
Here’s to clarity, connection and your next 28 days!
