So many women from all over the world with one goal in mind - to complete an alcohol free challenge for 30 days.

"Nothing stuck for me until this challenge!"
"This challenge has been life changing for me. Sarah's support throughout the challenge has been amazing. For someone who has been trying to moderate their alcohol for 4 years, I thought there was something wrong with me. That it was my fault.
Now I know after doing Sarah's challenge that it is not my fault and I now have all the tools to create successful change.
I am now 38 days alcohol free and I am the happiest I have been in years. Thank you Sarah!"

Sarah’s alcohol free challenge has been life changing for me! All of the information I have been given has helped me completely change my relationship with alcohol.
Being part of a group of so many women in the same situation as me has made me feel less alone and be part of a group. Sarah is amazing and I love everything she does in her business!
Jo, Australia
"I found my tribe and transformed my life."
“Oh wow, this was the best decision I could have made. Not only did the challenge exceed my expectations, but I found my tribe of women.
The challenge held me accountable every day. It had variety, structure, challenges and it was consistent. It made me feel seen and heard every single day.
Sarah was amazing, she responded to every email, chat, comment and held my hand from through the challenge. This is the best challenge I have ever completed.
Best of all, I was educated in a way, that I now choose not to have alchol in my life. I will live my life with the best version of me leading the way.”
Vanessa, Australia
"A wealth of information and support."
“I’ve been sober curious for years, I wanted to learn more about alcohol in a supportive non-judgmental environment. Sarah’s challenge provided me with a wealth of information, support, accountability and positivity.
Sarah was on hand to answer questions and had some fantastic guests throughout the challenge.
I would highly recommend this challenge to anyone sober curious or see what life is like without alcohol in their lives.”
Sally, Australia
"Incredible value, life-changing tools & daily support!"
“The content in this challenge is just so valuable! Daily videos helped keep me on track, and gave me the tools I needed to deal with each step of the way.
Guest speakers were all so relatable and knowledgeable. I loved all the book and podcast recommendations, and the Facebook group was an amazing source of inspiration and support.
I cannot recommend this challenge any more highly - it definitely overdelivered and I am so grateful to have completed the challenge, and be on my way to a much healthier and happier me! Thank you so much Sarah!”
Lauren, Australia
"I found my tribe and transformed my life."
“Sarah has changed my life. Whilst I wouldn’t consider myself an alcoholic by any means I know that my drinking was affecting my life negatively and I had to do something about it.
I never realised the impact she would have on my mindset, drive and future. Sarah has opened my eyes to realise that alcohol stunts the potential of us all. The sky really is the limit when you are armed with the knowledge that she provides from her experience, research (never known anyone who can quote passages and authors like she can!) and expert talks.
If you ever think that your drinking is suddenly not playing a positive role in your life I highly recommend you sign up for one of her challenges and be inspired! Thank you Sarah I am forever grateful xx”
Kristy, Australia
"Uncover the truth about alcohol with powerful support."
“Joining this challenge was the best thing I have ever done for myself - and for my family. Sarah and her forums, guest speakers, references to resources and participants all came together and supported one another in such an amazing way.
It was totally unexpected but also totally necessary once you start to understand the layers of grey area drinking and just what alcohol does to the body on so many levels.
I look forward to continuing the sober journey within the support network that Sarah has pulled together. Thank you Sarah!!”
Julie, Australia
"Be a part of a supportive and life-changing community that lasts!"
“ The challenge came at a perfect time for me. I knew I needed more knowledge, tips and tools to help me along the way. Determination doesn't last forever and I wanted to be prepared.
This course delivers everything I could have hoped for and more. Daily talks, videos and Zoom meetings made me feel like, I was part of a new community. And if I missed one, I could catch up when I could.
The knowledge I have now, I will have with me always. The fact that Sarah, reads & comments on everyone’s posts, giving support & advice, shows how committed she is. I would normally, just read but never comment in a Facebook group, but I felt so at ease, with the group, that I felt comfortable enough to participate. 100% recommend.”
Lynn, Scotland
"A catalyst for self-discovery and growth."
“A life changer for me as not only have I walked away from wine but it has started a rollercoaster of learnings and self improvements for me. I wish I had found Sarah earlier!
The support of the group and Sarah herself with her daily communications, talks, interviews etc. was SO much more than I could have hoped for.
I have learned so much about myself. If you are on the fence - don't hesitate - just do it. Thanks Sarah - see you again at Rediscovering Me x”
Karen, Australia
"Unexpected wisdom, unmatched support –even for those already on the path!"
“When I joined Sarah’s Alcohol Free Challenge, I was already on the path to being alcohol free so wasn’t sure if there was much to benefit from the challenge.
The opposite was true. It has strengthened my resolve and commitment to stay on the sober journey. The information and motivation provided by Sarah and all the guest speakers was fantastic.
More so, the connection, support and sense of community with a beautiful group of women, who are also making difficult changes, was invaluable.”
Leah, Australia
"Taking a break from booze changed my life!"
“I am so thrilled that I took the leap of faith and joined Sarah’s 30 day challenge.
I would never have thought giving up alcohol for 30 days could bring me so much joy and calm and change my life.
I got to the 30-day mark and decided I wanted to continue on this journey. I would highly recommend anyone wishing to change their relationship with alcohol to do Sarah's challenge!"
Vanessa, Australia
"I reaped endless benefits from this challenge!"
“I am a better human for finding Sarah’s alcohol free challenges and the Mid Life Hub. I was on the fast-track alcohol train and I couldn’t believe that so many other women felt like me.
I can’t emphasise enough, the power of these groups of like-minded women, with Sarah leading you through.
My benefits were endless- improved sleep, relationships, mood, finance, motivation, opportunities, connection and self-love. It’s honestly the best thing I ever did for myself and I’m excited for the future!”
Erin, Australia
"Connect with a community of like-minded women in the same path as you!"

If you are curious or concerned about your drinking, there's a community of like-minded women, interviews with experts and Sarah's warm, personable approach just waiting to support you.
I can't recommend it highly enough!”
Tania, New Zealand
"New habits, new pathways – A transformational month I’ll never forget"
“Sarah’s energy is infectious; she is raw, honest and incredibly knowledgeable on this topic. I learned so much in a month.
I know I have so much to learn, but she has helped me massively to create new neural pathways to make new habits that serve me well.
I will never forget this month, the group, the tears, & the laughs. Thank you so much, Sarah x”
Shelley, Australia
"The best thing I ever did for myself! No more hangovers, more clarity, and a new me!”
“The challenge was the best thing I ever did for myself; it gave me the ability to fully commit to a month off booze in a secure private group full of honest conversations and heartfelt support.
I learned so much from Sarah, from guest speakers, and from myself. I loved having no hangovers or crap in my head and gained better sleep, clarity, focus, new energy, and happiness.
Do the course, invest in yourself, and find a new you away from booze, as booze is not your friend; it’s evil and sticks the life out of you. You deserve more; you are worth it. Xx “
Janeen, Australia
"You cannot unlearn what you've learnt!"
“Sarah’s course is a must-do for anyone looking to reduce alcohol consumption. She explores the depths of this, explains her own journey to sobriety, and provides speakers and research to match.
This is my second time taking a break with Sarah, and I learned so much more than the first time.
I cannot recommend Sarah enough and wish to thank you for all the support you have given me. To quote you... You cannot unlearn what you have learned. This is very true.”
Karen, New Zealand
"We get to learn from top notch speaker sand experts."
“I loved everything about Sarah’s challenge. Her enthusiasm and passion for this subject were infectious, and her own personal experience was an inspiration.
The speakers were all absolutely top-notch, knowledgeable, and inspiring in their chosen fields.
I would highly recommend Sarah’s course to anyone wanting to quit alcohol or even those who are just sober curious. You’ll be surprised at the outcome!”
Alison, France
"The tools and education helped me go from drinking a bottle of wine a night to 30 days AF and beyond!"
“This challenge was a total game changer for me – all of the education and tools provided over the 30 days were enough for me to go from drinking a bottle of wine a night to being able to do 30 days alcohol-free and now beyond that.
The support of the group was a huge motivator, so many women in exactly the same position as me. Sarah is so passionate and dedicated to helping women change their relationship with alcohol for good. She does it in a really non-patronising way and her energy and enthusiasm is contagious!
I would highly recommend this challenge to anyone questioning their drinking habits. This was the best investment I've ever made - once you are in the challenge, you can't believe how much you get for the money you spend - it's incredible!”
Kate, Australia
"The challenge created really positive change in my mental wellbeing."
“When I signed up for this challenge, I wanted to take a 30-day break from alcohol, possibly more. What I got, though, was a complete mindset change when it came to the role that alcohol plays in our lives.
The group was so supportive. Sarah provides motivation with Facebook live chats, guest speakers, and a lot of resources, all of which aim to help us get out of the hold that alcohol has on our lives.
For me personally, the biggest change was in my mental wellbeing. I feel so much less anxious, less overwhelmed by life in general, sleep better, and I feel like I'm a nicer person to be around. “
Angela, New Zealand
"I'm happier, calmer and excited about my future!"
“I signed up to the challenge to have a break and reset with a view to reducing the amount I was drinking. I had no idea how powerful it would be and the profound shift that would happen in my mind.
The combination of education, coaching, support and community is a game changer. I immersed myself in all the resources and loved the whole experience.
Now on day 35, I feel healthier, happier, calmer and more positive about my life and my future. I want to keep going with being alcohol free and for this to be the new me. I’m so thankful I signed up. Thank you, Sarah!”
Caroline, Australia
"I gained powerful tools to change my relationship with alcohol."
“This course has finally given me the tools to change my relationship with alcohol (I am 64 years old!).
After many years of binge drinking, I have been able to reframe my beliefs and initiate healthier habits.
I don’t think you’re ever too old for benefits such as this, and I am excited about what my future holds!“
Lisa, Australia
"Life-changing – I've found my pepople!"
"This is literally changing my life… I’m 54 and have used alcohol for nearly 40 years, having little to no self-worth.
I stumbled across this group (whilst drunk) and will not go back!! My life is moving forward with Sarah’s guidance. She gives us information that is easy to digest. I trust her implicitly!!
I feel that I have found my people… beautiful women who have been on the same journey as me."
Jo, Australia
"I get to discover who I really am without alcohol."
“I am still AF after 40 days, and I can honestly say I wouldn’t have been successful if it wasn’t for the support of the group and Sarah and her team.
Also, the knowledge I gained from the interviews and podcasts was second to none; I learnt so much about alcohol, it actually has made me join the quest to be alcohol free forever, and to really dig deep into my soul and discover who I really am without alcohol and what lies ahead for me in a life without alcohol.
Thanks again Sarah, I’m forever grateful!”
Sandy, Australia
"I'm sleeping better, I feel more vibrant, and the brain fog's gone!"
“Joining the 30-Day Free Alcohol Challenge has been such a transformative experience for me, and I can’t recommend it enough! What I’ve learned during this month has opened my eyes to how much alcohol was impacting my life.
I discovered that I wasn’t alone – many others, like me, had been drinking out of boredom, loneliness, stress, and habit. It felt so comforting to know my story was not unique.
Since stopping, I’ve lost weight, I feel better, and my energy is improving. My sleep has gotten better, and the brain fog that came with drinking is much less. I feel healthier, more vibrant, and in control of my choices.
Thank you, Sarah and the team, for providing this incredible challenge. It has truly been life-changing! “
Nicole, Australia

"I no longer want to drink."
“If you are questioning your relationship with alcohol or are just sober-curious, I cannot recommend Sarah’s 30-day challenge highly enough.
I knew I had a toxic relationship with alcohol, and it was destroying my mental health – but if I stopped drinking, I couldn’t stay stopped.
Having completed the challenge, I can honestly say that Sarah has changed my mindset around alcohol, and I no longer want to drink.
Seriously, I no longer want to drink! Now I am excited to experience all that life has to offer without alcohol running the show. I feel free!“
Jill, UK
"I'm 4 months AF and counting!"
“I cannot recommend this challenge highly enough! I gained so much information, support and all the tools needed to become alcohol free.
After 4 months, the benefits of giving up those 2/3 nightly glasses of wine are so obvious to me, on the outside as well as the inside.
I am sleeping the best I have slept ever, my blood pressure has dropped to a healthy level, anxiety has all but disappeared, my skin is glowing, my eyes are sparkling, my hair is no longer dry and brittle, and my sense of smell has heightened (I lost most of it after having the flu in 2019).
If you are sick of the chatter in your head about how much you drink, do this challenge.“
Robyn, Australia
"Stop trying to white-knuckle it – join this challenge!"
“I’d spent 10 years trying to moderate my drinking, always signing up for Dry January only to slip back in February. The constant noise in my head about whether to drink was exhausting.
From day one with Sarah, I felt heard, supported and inspired in a way I never had before. This time I wasn’t white-knuckling it - I found new hobbies, new friends and started feeling the best I have in years.
The coaches’ encouragement and empathy made all the difference. At the end of 30 days, I have no desire to drink, just a deep gratitude for Team Rusbatch and excitement for what’s ahead.”
Rebecca, UK
"My life has totally turned around for the better thanks to this challenge."
“Sarah, I can't thank you enough for your amazing July challenge; my life has totally turned around for the better. I cannot put into words what I have taken away from this challenge.
The support from you, your coaches and other members blew me away. I am so grateful for this challenge and I'm looking forward to doing other work on myself in this amazing community. Thank you xxx.”
Carla, New Zealand
"Many of my health problems are improving!"
“I thought alcohol was helping me cope with the stresses of life and that I could never go without it long-term. Turns out it was only adding to my problems. I think I was perpetually hungover without recognising it as such.
Constantly exhausted, anxious, depressed and in pain - I thought I was slowly dying at 55.
After completing 30 days AF, I can see the effects clearly now and have no intention of going back.
Many of my health problems are improving. More than anything, I now have hope that I can live a healthy and happy future!”
Gayle, Australia
"The benefits have been far beyond what I ever imagined!"
“I joined Dry July for health and weight loss, but what I gained was life-changing.
Sarah’s challenge blew me away - expert talks, powerful content, and the most supportive coaching team.
I went from counting down the days to drink again to embracing the joy of alcohol-free living. The benefits have been far beyond what I ever imagined.”
Jackie, United States
"I went from a daily drinker to now 6 weeks AF!"
“From a daily drinker, I’ve now done 6 weeks alcohol free and allowed myself a slow journey of healing and changing habits while educating myself on why I want and need to stop putting alcohol in my body!
The daily check-in by Sarah really was such a good start to my day, and there was so much information that I listened to every moment I could and still do.
I’m so grateful to Sarah and her team. Thank you 🙏. ”
Andrea, Australia
"My only regret is not finding Sarah sooner!"
“The AF 30-Day Challenge is an absolute game changer; in fact, it is a life changer. Sarah has created a safe, supportive space that allows you to embark on this ultimate journey of self-care with ease and confidence.
There is so much vital information to read, brilliant podcasts to listen to, fascinating expert interviews to watch, and a real sense of belonging to a wonderful group of women facing the same challenge and supporting each other along the way.
My one regret is not finding Sarah sooner!”
Robyn, Australia
"I no longer have to panic about running out of wine – it's liberating!"
“My family and friends have been concerned for my health and well being with how alcohol gripped my life and stole ME, the true essence of who I am.
30 days later, I am genuinely happy! More relaxed and can negotiate the highs and lows from a centered sense of rationality.
I love not panicking about running out of wine, how I'm going to get home from a night out, and waking up minus all the anxiety, guilt, shame, and physical effects of booze.
Thank you Sarah for holding this safe space to learn, heal and grow. I'm looking forward to starting Rediscovering Me.”
Simone, United States
