CLIENT SUCCESS STORIES

Rachel: "Rory’s 15-minute sessions gave me a way to unwind without a glass of wine"

Jenna: "Rory's soothing voice made it very easy to follow along"

"I'm not a big drinker, but this really helped with my phone addiction"

"I was sceptical when I came across Wise Monkey Way"

Over the years, I’ve done some research and meditation was noted on quite a few of the things that I was following.

I tried minimalist drinking which started out well and then was a slippery slope to my normal drinking intake.

I tried AA which was definitely not for me. I was a little sceptical when I came across Wise Monkey Way.

This was quite a big outlay, but I was very interested in the meditation side of it, so I gave it to go and actually it has been the saviour of me. I’ve got my life back, I’m more present, less anxious, much calmer and I see things more clearly. I meditate and it helps.

I don’t know how it works, but it works for me. It quietens my mind and the cravings. I am no longer hostage to my habit.

"A pivotal moment"

There was a pivotal moment at 70 or 80 days alcohol free. I had an event with some of my closest friends who get together once every three months for a lunch that’s centred on food and wine.

The last event was just before the hundred days and when it came around again, I spent two weeks negotiating with myself about whether I would drink – maybe I'll just have one or two glasses, maybe I'll do this or that. I wasted so much mental energy on it for two weeks.

And then eventually I got the strength about a week before and had a one on one with Rory and he helped me on how to get through it. Then when I went to the lunch, I didn't even want a glass of wine. I didn't even notice the wine being poured!

It was a huge pivotal moment. I just went straight through and was like – I can do this now.

"I took half the month off and had my best revenue month ever"

I’ve got more mental clarity, better thinking – everything's going better.

This has been my biggest revenue month in the history of my agency, which is crazy.

I attribute it to this. I don't know if there were other things but I literally took half the month off – so something is going on!

I've always worked hard – maybe I'm working more efficiently or it's better quality work.

Less anxiety has really helped and allowed me to take more risks than I usually do. Jumping out there with imperfect action – that's what I call it.

I didn't think I could go a hundred days without drinking, – it was definitely empowering to know that I could.

Cathy: "Like everyone else, I love to come home and have a glass of wine – but this really helped"

George: "This makes meditation easy and simple"

REAL WORDS FROM REAL PEOPLE EXPERIENCING REAL RESULTS

Saying cheers to five years alcohol free with a delicious glass of... water!

I’m Rory Kinsella

I’m a meditation teacher and sober coach with seven years’ experience helping people manage their stress and find healthier coping mechanisms.

I also have 20 years’ experience working in fast-paced corporate environments in the media in both London and Sydney and know what it’s like to hold down a stressful job while drinking heavily.

I also know what it’s like to work in the same environments having quit alcohol.

In my last corporate job, I was Head of Product, managing the strategy, design and development of major news websites for an Australian media company. I had to be able to work deftly among senior leaders, spiky editorial staff, temperamental designers and logic-centric engineers.

With the double-clarity that came from meditating and not drinking I was able to better navigate this nuanced environment, getting better results and not letting things take a personal toll when they didn’t go to plan.

As someone who used to drink to let off steam and un-stress at the end of the week, I also saw that alcohol was actually adding to my stress, not relieving it. This view is now widely supported by scientific research.

I spent over $20,000 a year on drinking

At the height of my drinking, I was spending over $20,000 a year on drinking and related activities.

I dread to think what I've spent on taxis alone :(

How much are you spending? If you’re like many of our participants, you’ll be spending more money on alcohol and related costs in a few months than the price of this program.
