Susan Christina is an Irish founder living in Madrid and the creator of Hola Sober, an international magazine and community dedicated to empowering women to live alcohol-free, unapologetically and without labels. From her base in Spain, Susan built Hola Sober into a global sisterhood, blending no-nonsense truth-telling with fierce compassion.

Known for her straight-talking style and Irish wit, she has inspired thousands of women to step into sobriety as a powerful, intentional choice — not a punishment. Hola Sober’s Daily Emails, Alcohol-free Programs, Morning Call audios and monthly magazine became a lifeline for women worldwide, offering connection, encouragement and the reminder that life beyond the wine glass is vibrant, bold and full.

“The Covenant is the abstinence-based sobriety programme I created because I needed it!! I knew myself too well. In a world where much of the recovery space softened its language, I refused. I needed something strong, clear and uncompromising — because without that, I would have been drinking within weeks.

The first three tenets — Abstinence, Honesty and Acceptance — are non-negotiable. Abstinence is the power move. Honesty is an act of rebellion in a chaotic, untruthful world. And Acceptance is the greatest gift you can give yourself, because once you truly accept, you stand in your power.

I named it The Covenant in honour of my dearest friend Debra, whose faith has taught me much about commitment and sacred promises. For me, the word 'covenant' carried strength without religious ownership — a pact you make with yourself to live fully, joyfully and on your own terms.”

About The Covenant

Who is it for?

The Covenant is designed for women who already have at least a few months of sobriety under their belt and intend to live an alcohol-free life or already do. It’s for those who want to:

Deepen their understanding of themselves and the sober journey they’re on
Reflect on how far they’ve come
Gain clarity on their current situation
Explore ways to grow further and strengthen their alcohol-free life

What it is?

The Covenant is the definitive, all-embracing exploration of what living sober truly means, written and generously gifted to us by Susan Christina (Hola Sober).

It is included at no extra cost for all members of TABB’s The Circle and covers the core elements of sobriety through 10 Tenets, from Abstinence to Service.

The course is delivered over 11 weeks, running at least once a year:

Day 1 of each week: One in-depth lesson focusing on that week’s Tenet.
Days 2–7: Daily discussion prompts designed to inspire reflection, spark interaction and encourage learning from others in the group.

"Wow,Wow,Wow-I'm seriously struggling to find the words to describe my overall impression of this course. It's utterly fantastic."

B. November 2025

"The Covenant is a fantastic course. I did it quite early on in my sobriety and it carried me through eleven weeks to freedom from alcohol.

I have been stopping and starting again for years. Suffering Day Ones on a regular basis. By the time I had finished the course, I felt free from the slavery of wine ruling my life. Along with belonging to the TABB community, this course is the key to long term sobriety."

C. November 2025

"From the moment I joined TABB, I felt safe. I have never told anyone else about my drinking the way I talk about it with the women here. It's the best self-care!"
