Hi, I’m Sarah!
In 2017 I was living my life on a hamster wheel of running my own very successful career coaching business, parenting, keeping on top of the household chores, exercising when I could, drinking (too much as a way to switch off - I was a classic 'grey area drinker') and quickly approaching burnout.
It was like groundhog day. Every single day.
I wasn’t in tune with myself at all, I didn’t know what my values were, said ‘yes’ to every invitation as I felt bad letting anyone down and I was so tired, burnt out and disillusioned. I had no inner resources or way of knowing how to change this. I kept asking myself ‘is this it?’.
I identified as a classic 'grey area drinker' - I could (and often did) take breaks from drinking, I didn't drink every day and I was still highly functioning on a day to day basis. But behind closed doors, drinking was taking from me so much more than it was giving. I was becoming increasingly anxious, suffering terrible insomnia on the nights I drank, developing a severe hormone imbalance which affected my mood and my weight and lacked motivation or drive to be the mum, wife and friend I knew I wanted to be.
Giving up alcohol completely in April 2019 has been the greatest gift I’ve ever given myself.
I’m now a certified Health and Wellbeing Coach, an accredited Grey Area Drinking Coach and a Key-Note speaker. I’ve been featured in over 100 media publications, sharing my journey to sobriety and impact of alcohol on mental health to global audiences. I’ve helped thousands of people globally quit drinking through my alcohol free challenges, coaching programs and courses, and I know I can help you too through this 30-Day Alcohol Free Program!
“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 programs and be inspired! Thank you Sarah I am forever grateful xx”
- Kristy, Victoria
“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, Melbourne
“Joining this program 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, Gold Coast

“The program 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. 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 100% recommend it.”
- Lynn, Scotland
“When I joined Sarah’s Alcohol Free Program, 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 the guest speakers were fantastic.”
- Leah, Sydney
“The content in this program 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 too. I cannot recommend this program any more highly - it definitely over-delivered and I am so grateful to have completed the program, and be on my way to a much healthier and happier me! Thank you so much Sarah!”
- Lauren, Townsville
This program is for you if…
✔️ You're sick and tired of feeling sick and tired and would like to give yourself a break from alcohol.
✔️ You want to change your MINDSET and HABITS around alcohol so you aren't relying on it as such a crutch in your everyday life.
✔️ You're concerned that your drinking habits have been creeping up. While you don't consider yourself an 'alcoholic' you do feel uncomfortable about the role alcohol plays in your life.
✔️ Previous attempts to take a break from alcohol have been hard due to peer pressure, not having the accountability or not having the connection with others on the same path (because I know how lonely it is when it feels like everyone around you is still drinking).
✔️ You want support to help build a toolkit of some other coping mechanisms (outside of the nightly wine) to help when you feel stressed, tired or need to just 'take the edge off'.
✔️ You've tried to take a break in the past but all good intentions slip aside when 5pm hits and the wine witch comes calling. Or you successfully take a month off but then head straight back into the same drinking patterns as if it never happened.
If you answer yes to any of these questions, this 30-Day Alcohol Free Program is perfect for you.
Whether you plan to take a month off (or longer), doing it with the help and support of a trained and Accredited Grey Area Drinking Coach will provide you with all the resources, support and connection you need for success. And the best part? You do it all in the company of an intimate and supportive group of women on the same path.
“Sarah’s program was relevant and on point. She is honest and down to earth and her experiences were relatable and made me feel comfortable. She is attentive and responsive to messages and comments irrespective of the global nature of participants and that personal touch was key to making the group members engaged and feeling heard and cared for. Great range of speakers and it wasn’t used as a marketing and sales platform like many other groups. Highly recommend.”
- Charlotte, Christchurch
“Dive in to Sarah Rusbatch's amazing and fun (yes, fun!) world of sobriety if you're in any way concerned about your drinking; if you're wondering if there are better ways to deal with stress, anxiety, and bad days, or if there are other ways to make yourself feel better. I have been a fairly heavy drinker for over 40 years and Sarah's program has me motivated to see the world as a much larger and more exciting place than the small world I was creating for myself!”
- Jennie
“I saw Sarah Rusbatch AF Program advertised and thought this may be my way to help myself without pills. Well I have been sober now for 33 days, I have started to lose weight, my brain and mind feel clear and I actually don't care about alcohol anymore. I feel empowered to say no. Today is the day that you need to make the change and go alcohol free, with support from Sarah Rusbatch and other women from around the world. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain, just like me.”

- Jodie

- Julie, Perth
“If you’re questioning the impact of alcohol on your life, this program will provide you with the support you need to take a break and stay the distance, whilst providing you with more learnings about alcohol than you could ever predict. You will get way more bang for your buck than you realise and at the end be surprised by the toolkit you have built to walk away with. It’s a non-judgemental environment with as many resources as you care to tap into and facilitated by Sarah who is as committed to the group and the cause, as anyone I have worked with.”
- Nicole
As Seen On
“If you’re beginning to think about your drinking habits being problematic - even in the slightest, you NEED to do this program.
If you’re beginning to think that the drink/moderate/not drinking/drinking again/trying to moderate cycle is absolutely not serving you, you NEED to do this program.
If those wine bottles seem to add up rather quickly as you pop your bins out to be collected each week, you NEED to do this program.
If you seem to make ‘reasons’ or ‘excuses’ as to why you’re at the pub again, ordering your 4th glass of wine without realising, you NEED to do this program.
If you’re like me - a high functioning, career-driven, family orientated mum who needs to create a whole lot more clarity in their lives, you NEED to do this program.
I’m absolutely the best evidence of someone who came across Sarah’s website without even looking - and as fate would have it, it’s exactly what I needed to do.
I didn’t think that my drinking was what it had become - I was stressed, feeling defeated and knew there was a much better life out there for me.
Sarah is without doubt, the best person who offers this form of coaching. I have woken up each day excited about what I was about to learn from her and the guidance she has provided is truly life changing. The podcasts, interviews and live chats are so well presented and I can guarantee that they will connect with everyone’s story and life contexts - no matter your situation.
If you have just the slightest ‘inkling’ that your beliefs and behaviours around alcohol may need some challenging, and possibly changing, the AF program is what you need.
Thank you SO much Sarah. I’m definitely joining up again for the next AF program. I can’t wait!”
- Ellie, NSW

“Feeling good every day” (Lynda)
“Time, connections, resilience, happiness, money” (Wendy)
“Freedom!!!” (Zoe)
“Being mentally present” (Jennifer)
“Better than expected” (Anna)
“My superpower” (Zoe)
“Hello ME!!!” (Monique)

“Freedom and a path to optimum health and true happiness” (Emma)
“Sarah has so much knowledge to share and you can feel the genuine passion she has for helping other women live their best lives alcohol free.”
- Karen
“The unwavering support, camaraderie, understanding, kindness, care, love, and complete absence of judgement that I experienced during the program was truly life changing. The fight continues but now I know it's never alone. On top of that, the resources and shared experiences, Sarah's constant commitment to be there for us and bring us on an actual journey throughout the month was worth every penny. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
- Tania
“2 young kids and hitting perimenopause in my early 40’s left me feeling overwhelmed and not knowing where to start. I started with improving diet and exercise and going on HRT but the one thing I sadly noticed was alcohol was getting in the way. Not to mention how horrendous it was now suddenly making me feel the next day. I came across Sarah through her well-being collective on Facebook and then jumped on the programe and 72 days later I don’t even miss it. The whole program has been a game changer for me. It made something I always thought not possible- possible! Thank you Sarah. It wouldn’t have been possible without you and what you do. I’m on a journey to good health and now feel empowered and not overwhelmed.”
