About Sara
I quit drinking on a dare I made to myself — and it changed everything.
How It Started
I never thought I had a “problem.” I still had my job. I still got my kids to school on time. From the outside, everything looked fine.
But on the inside, I was stuck in a cycle. The nightly wine. The weekend happy hours with my husband — we were each other’s favorite drinking partners. The mornings where I’d drag myself out of bed wondering why I felt so tired, so foggy, so flat.
When I turned 40, I threw a big party. I don’t remember all of it.
That was my wake-up call — not because it was rock bottom, but because I realized I was missing my own life.
The 30-Day Experiment That Changed My Life
I made myself a deal: try 30 days without alcohol. If I couldn’t do it, I’d seek outside help. If I could, I’d see how I felt.
My husband joined me. We leaned on each other and on resources like This Naked Mind and online support communities.
By the end of those 30 days, something had shifted. My skin was brighter. My eyes were clearer. I’d lost inches off my waist. But the biggest changes weren’t physical — they were in my relationships, my energy, my patience with my kids, and my marriage.
I planned to go back to “moderate” drinking. I never did.
Why I Built No More Wasted Days
After experiencing how much my life transformed, I couldn’t keep it to myself. I started sharing my story — first on a blog, then through a podcast, and eventually through the 30-Day Alcohol-Free Challenge, a structured program designed to give people the same experience that changed my life.
What started as a personal blog has grown into a community of people who are choosing to live differently. Not because they hit rock bottom, but because they want more from their lives.
No More Wasted Days isn’t about labeling yourself. It’s not a clinical program. It’s a space for people who are curious about what life looks like without alcohol — and who want support along the way.

A Few Things About Me
- I’m a mom, a wife, and someone who used to think socializing without a drink in hand was impossible (turns out, it’s not)
- My husband quit drinking with me — we went from being drinking buddies to being fully present partners
- I’m passionate about showing people that you don’t have to be “bad enough” to deserve a better relationship with alcohol
- My favorite mocktail ingredients: flavored club soda, GTS Kombucha, and Brew Doctor
- I believe journaling is a superpower for staying alcohol-free long-term
