We’ve designed our packages to help people achieve different things around their relationship with alcohol. For each programme, we guide you on how to stay completely alcohol-free for a set amount of time, and we also provide a host of tools and resources for extra support.

The core alcohol-free challenge is based on our own system, MEND: Mind, Exercise, Nutrition, Do. These four pillars form a holistic approach for the best and longest-lasting results.

After you sign up for a package, you’ll receive a welcome email containing links to:

• Our members’ area, so you can set up your account and choose your start date.
• Our Facebook and Slack communities (also available in the members’ area).
• All the bundle resources you get as part of your package

Once your challenge begins, you’ll get access to the daily content. Each day you’ll see something different, from guidance and inspiration to ideas, exercises, tips and tricks. This will arrive as daily emails with short versions of that day’s content, and a link to our members’ area where you can read the full piece or watch the video.

Well, of course we’re biased—but our members definitely think so. Using positive psychology and behaviour change science, we help people shift their mindset and habits around alcohol. Many of our members couldn’t imagine taking any kind of break from drinking before. For them, the permanent change in their relationship with alcohol has been priceless.

Then there’s the incredible OYNB online community: the perfect accountability group. There you can get inspired by other people’s stories, reach out for support, share tips and experiences, and more. The community can be a key player in your success.

But how about this: plenty of our members find they save money through the challenge. Alcohol isn’t cheap. So signing up can be a great way to spend less, because you won’t be buying drinks (or anything else under the influence). That means it could actually work out easier on your pocket. And that’s on top of other benefits like losing weight, better sleep, boosted energy, and a clearer head!

Having questions or concerns about your relationship with alcohol isn’t a genetic thing. We’re not born that way—it’s something that builds up over time. And it can be changed. It’s harder for some than others, but it’s about rewriting neural pathways that keep you stuck in limiting patterns.

Big life changes aren’t made in one go—they happen gradually, by repeating positive behaviour over and over. That’s why a large chunk of our programme is on how to build healthy, sustainable habits. We have a stack of game-changing tips and tricks to share with you!

Psychologically, there are two other factors that make you more likely to succeed when you sign up. First, external accountability: making a commitment to something outside yourself is often enough to keep you on track. And second, paying your hard-earned cash for it, because that signals to your brain that you’re serious and makes you feel literally more invested.

But don’t just take our word for it. Read some of our success stories here

Even if your end-goal is to just cut back your drinking, in order to get to a place where you can genuinely take it or leave it, it’s best to have a complete break.

Maybe you feel confident that you don’t drink that much, and you don’t have any issues controlling it. But in our society, alcohol is so ingrained into almost every social occasion, that it’s practically impossible to clearly understand your relationship until you see it from the outside.

Having total control over that relationship isn’t about abstinence, or willpower, or depriving yourself. It’s about loving not drinking as much as you love drinking, so you can freely choose between the two. And you can’t get to that place until you’ve fully explored the not drinking part.

We’re based in the UK, so our prices show in pounds sterling. The good news is that you can still pay as you would normally, and your bank will automatically convert your currency to British pounds. The price of the programme in your currency will depend on your bank’s exchange rate at the time you buy—calculate an estimate using this free converter.

All our payments are secured by 256-bit encryption, so yes your money is safe (we accept Visa, Mastercard, Amex and Discover), but also yes, you can choose to pay with PayPal.

That’s great news you’re interested in New You! Here’s a tip if the one-off cost is tricky: sign up for Reset & Realign, and you’ll be able to upgrade to New You later (at which point you’ll get any extra bundle goodies too). It does cost a little more doing it that way, but it helps to spread the payments. Note that extending from Quick Detox works out more expensive again.

No problem. When you set up your members’ area account after signing up, you’ll be able to select any start date you like, and that start date is when your challenge and daily emails will kick off.

Not at all. Our community is also on Slack, a free-to-use platform that some members prefer as it’s completely secure and self-contained. If you choose to join the Slack group, just follow the link in your welcome email or from our members’ area and you’ll be guided through the process. Slack works right out of your browser, but you can also download their free apps for iOS, Android, Mac, Windows and Linux.

That’s entirely your call. Some members like to read the emails and watch the video each day; others prefer to work through a week at once over the weekend. The content varies, so there’s not always a task to do—sometimes it’s a thinking point, a conversation starter, or a motivational message. Whatever it is, it’s always up to you what you do with it!

Let’s get something straight. There is no ‘messing up’. At OYNB we adopt a growth mindset: every experience is a chance to learn and develop. That’s what keeps us moving forward. Sure, it means getting out of your comfort zone, but that’s how you learn! And prioritising learning over comfort helps you to be more resilient, because you know that when you make a mistake (and we all do), you haven’t failed—you just haven’t succeeded yet.

That’s why we prefer to use words like ‘slip-up’, and ‘blip’. Having one drink (or even a few) while you’re on a challenge doesn’t mean you have to start again—the important thing is to learn from it. Taking a moment to reflect can be enough to help you put in a plan for next time.

In practical terms, what happens if you slip up is… nothing at all. There’s no judgement from us or from other members. In fact, we highly recommend diving into the community, because you’ll hear so many similar experiences there.

Don’t worry, you won’t be out in the cold! If you want to stay with us after you finish your challenge, we offer a few options:

• Keep going! If you’re on Quick Detox or Reset & Realign, you’ll have the option to upgrade to the next package.
• Stay connected. If you want to stay without upgrading, you can keep connected in the Facebook or Slack groups with our community-only subscription (£4.99 per month).
• Explore further. If you’re keen to understand yourself on a deeper level, we have group or 1-2-1 coaching options (although these can be added to your package any time).
• Master it. Once you feel that being alcohol-free no longer needs to be your main focus, our MasterMind programme could help you develop and identify your next move.

But the most important thing to remember is that through the challenges we teach you concepts, techniques, practices and skills that you’ll have for life. So ultimately what you do with this new knowledge afterwards is up to you.

Absolutely. If you decide an OYNB package isn’t for you, just ask to cancel within 14 days for a full no-questions-asked refund.
