We're Better Together

This time, we’re doing it differently, together.

 And we aren’t just ‘getting through’ or surviving, we are going to THRIVE.

Think sequins, glitter, confetti and lots of sparkle. Because that’s what happens when you stop numbing and let your aliveness come through! ✹

This isn’t a test to prove you don’t have a problem or a month of deprivation.

It’s your invitation to meet the version of you who feels clear, grounded, and genuinely alive!

What you're really taking a break from.

For so many women, drinking becomes woven into daily life until you take a break and realize how much space it’s been taking up.

đŸ„‚ Habits & Identity: A glass of wine to unwind, to celebrate, to connect. It’s not just a drink — it’s become part of your routine and who you think you are.

Relationships & Expectations: Saying yes when you want to say no, keeping alcohol “for guests,” or drinking to smooth over tension or fit in.

Guilt & Mental Chatter: The constant negotiation: Should I? Shouldn’t I? Just one? Then waking up with regret or shame, promising to “do better.”

😮 Energy & Clarity: Sluggish mornings, restless sleep, foggy focus, and wondering where your spark went.

Emotional Overload: You juggle so much — family, work, life — that alcohol becomes the “pause button” that never actually gives you rest.

Alcohol has been wired into your world,  your habits, your connections, even your sense of who you are.

Dry January is your chance to see what happens when you take that space back and start 2026 with clarity, energy, and genuine peace.

What Is the Alive AF! Dry January Challenge?

A 31-day coaching and community experience designed to help you:

  • Feel your emotions instead of escaping them.

  • Build confidence and calm from the inside out.

  • Handle urges and cravings without willpower or guilt.

  • Stop abandoning yourself when life gets uncomfortable.

  • See what’s really possible when alcohol isn’t clouding your vision.

You’ll walk away from January lighter, clearer, and proud — with tools you can use for the rest of the year.

Oh - and we will have popping prizes every week that will help support your choice to feel SPARKLEY instead of dull and numb. đŸ„‚

🎉 Why This January Will Be Different

Most Dry January programs focus on counting days. We focus on living differently.

During the Dry January Challenge inside the Alive AF! membership, you’ll learn how to:

  • Strengthen your emotional endurance; one urge, one pause, one “no” at a time.

  • Replace guilt and perfection with real self-trust.

  • Navigate social events with ease without hiding or faking it.

  • Create real connection, energy, and fun, alcohol-free.

Dry January, inside Alive AF!, focuses on feeling good and adding to your life versus taking something away.

 By the end of January, you won’t just have 31 alcohol-free days you’ll have a deeper understanding of who you are and what you really want from 2026.

Introducing.....đŸ’«

The Dry January Challenge

inside the Alive AF!
stop over-drinking membership

Dry January is the ultimate month-long reset for women who are ready to start the year clear, confident, and alcohol-free.

Through daily coaching, intention-setting, and community support, you’ll learn to:
✹ Trust yourself again
🌙 Feel calm, energized, and clear-headed
đŸ’« Build real connection without relying on alcohol

This is your chance to begin 2026 with purpose and pride and creating a life that feels so good you won’t want to escape from it.

Perfect for women who feel stuck in the cycle of over-drinking, over-doing, and people-pleasing—and who are ready to take a guilt-free break, reset their habits, and finally feel proud of themselves again.

In this month-long challenge, you'll learn to:

  • Trust

Build trust with yourself that will continue to grow well beyond the challenge, especially when you make a mistake.

  • Discover

New ways to relax, connect, and have fun without relying on alcohol.

  • Grow

Grow stronger through setbacks by learning how to recover quickly, evaluate, and keep moving forward.

Here's what we will cover during the challenge.
*Includes live daily meetings and a special challenge workbook with prompts to learn and apply these concepts.*

Week 1: Awareness & Foundations

We’ll set the groundwork for your alcohol-free month by defining your “why,” focusing on one day at a time, and noticing patterns around urges and cravings. You’ll learn simple strategies to pause before reacting, create new rituals, and celebrate your wins so you start strong.

Week 2: Managing Emotions Without Alcohol

This week is all about handling emotions and stress without turning to a drink. You’ll practice feeling your feelings instead of numbing them, create fun replacements for alcohol, and prepare for social pressure with confidence. By the end of the week, you’ll feel more resilient and empowered.

Week 3: Strengthening Self-Trust & Boundaries

Here we’ll dive deeper into self-trust and learning to honor your own needs. You’ll practice saying no without guilt, notice what choices feel aligned, and reclaim your evenings in ways that serve you. Each step builds your confidence and shows you the ripple effect of living with integrity.

 

Week 4: Living Fully Alive AF!

The final week is about stepping into the version of you that feels clear, energized, and fully alive without alcohol. You’ll explore what truly brings you joy, celebrate your progress, and envision your future self with confidence. By the end, you’ll have the tools and mindset to carry this forward long after October ends.

About Me, Angela Mascenik

Hi, I’m Angela Mascenik, certified life coach and creator of Alive AF! and the Stop Over-Drinking and Start Living podcast.

For years, I used alcohol as a way to relax, connect, and escape the pressures of life. But deep down, I knew it was holding me back from being fully present, energized, and confident in myself. When I finally committed to changing my relationship with alcohol, I discovered it wasn’t about willpower or saying “never again.” It was about learning to feel my emotions, trust myself, and create a life that felt better than a glass of wine ever could.

That journey led me to create the tools, coaching methods, and community that I now share with women around the world. With over 300 podcast episodes, countless client success stories, and years of coaching experience, I know what actually works—not quick fixes or shame, but practical strategies and compassionate support.

What makes this program unique is that we don’t just focus on removing alcohol—we focus on building a life you don’t want to escape from. Through daily prompts, coaching, and community connection, you’ll learn how to navigate urges, manage emotions, and strengthen self-trust in a way that feels empowering, not punishing.

My goal is simple: to help you see what’s possible when you give yourself the gift of 31 days alcohol-free—and to show you that you’re capable of so much more than you think.

 

Here's how the challenge will work

 

Daily Live Meetings

Each day we will have something new to discuss during a live meeting. Coach Steph or Angela will come on live everyday to teach and discuss the main point of the day and answer your questions and coach you.

Use the Sober October Workbook

A month-long workbook with the lesson of the day that will help you change your relationship with alcohol, and gain insights to WHY you have been over-drinking. You fill out the workbook everyday, attend the meeting or watch the recording.

Weekly PRIZES!

Members who show up, do the work, support other members and share in our community what they are learning have a chance to win a weekly prize! We make this challenge fun and motivating.

Sober October Challenge IS a good fit for you if:

  • You KNOW you want to take a month off drinking
  • You want to learn new ways to relax, feel less guilty about saying NO, and get some time back for yourself
  • You are motivated by a challenge and high accountability, and love the energy of doing this in a group setting
  • You can see and visualize what it might be like to not be so attached to your nightly drinks or over-consuming on the weekends, holidays, or at social gatherings
  • You love learning from Angela and Coach Steph 😉

Sober October Challenge is NOT a good fit for you if:

  • You don't want to go a month without alcohol
  • You are hoping for a challenge to 'be the thing' that fixes this issue
  • You aren't willing to tell the truth to yourself about your drinking
  • You are hesitant to share in a group setting with women who are all here working on the same goal
  • You are concerned about withdrawals or getting sick from taking a break from drinking
    (We do not offer any medical support; if you are questioning this, consult with your doctor before joining)

Don't just take it from me...

Here's what my clients have to say about doing this challenge:

"I feel strong, proud, and in control."


Going into the challenge, I was nervous and didn’t know if I could do it. The information about cravings and being uncomfortable was the key for me—I realized I didn’t need to fix it, just allow it, and that broke the pattern. I was surprised to learn it was more about habit than physical need, which made me feel empowered. Now I feel proud of myself, more in control, and excited to keep building new patterns.

"I feel comfortable NOT drinking."

I just wanted to thank you for your program. It has helped me tremendously to get to a place where I feel comfortable with not drinking. It no longer fills my thoughts with constant chatter about whether to drink or not, I deserve this, screw it I’m having one more.Again, thank you for everything you do!

Challenge Member

You can change your life!

To all of the members I met along the way, either in person or virtually, I am grateful for your honesty and support. Going against the norms of society and doing something that really changes your life is hard for most people that you have in your life. I am thankful that I had this community. This one is special to me and feels like home.You can change your life. I never thought I could stop drinking. It is a muscle I just used for so long and didn’t know anything else. I am excited about life. I am 55 and have so much more to do. Stopping drinking was not the goal when I joined. Until I got far away from it (100 days) and really knew I didn’t want to go back. It really helped me think about things differently, I didn’t even know I could
