The best teachers are those that show you where to look but don’t tell you what to see. That is exactly what these guys do.
Anyone can be told what to do and what to see - that’s easy - but these guys don’t do easy, they have the patience, empathy and moral principles to provide the tools and support for people on the course to work out their own answers.
This is a life changing course that requires a little bit of bravery to embark on, but, my experience has been that I would happily pay much, much more than the set price because what I have got out of the course continues to be priceless.

I have been through the 90 day OYNB program, the complete control program and continued coaching for a a few years now. My experience has been game changing ! Whilst I still drink, the way I drink and how often I drink has totally changed. My understanding of alcohol and its affects on my enjoyment of life has totally changed and life is so much better for it. I first started with OYNB almost 3 years ago and I am currently in a 90 day self imposed drinking period which is totally easy because of what I have learnt. Totally recommend

I cannot adequately express how grateful I am for One Year No Beer. Over about a 5 year period, I tried many different methods of cutting down/quitting booze and therapy. I was a gray-area drinker, but always drank too much when i drank and honestly, lived most of my life not knowing how to "be" without alcohol. This program was amazing and much different than the other approaches. The progression of the course materials, the group discussions, the amazing coaches and the hypnosis among other things combine to make this a 360 approach that really WORKS! Over the last year I've gone from drinking 3-4 times a week to 3-4 times this entire year, and at a moderate level each time. Its truly been life changing and I am eternally grateful for the whole OYNB team. If you are on the fence...DO IT. you will not regret it.

I can't say enough about my experience in the Complete Control program. I struggled for years to moderate my habits and had always taken a white knuckle approach to abstinence. This program took me on an emotional, soul searching journey that helped me understand my habits at an individual level. The coaches and cohort members were absolutely wonderful. There was accountability and support at every turn. Along with all of the coaching and learning the technology included was also extremely eye opening. This showed me, undoubtedly, the health benefits to staying away from alcohol. I am a year out from finishing the program and the tools I have learned have changed my relationship with alcohol for life. I highly recommend the experience to anyone who is in the same spot I was in prior to putting in the work. You will not be disappointed.

I took a leap of faith on OYNB's Complete Control program and have remained alcohol-free. This is no gimmick; it requires a deep commitment that will push and challenge you beyond your comfort zone. The group interactions, exercises, readings, and personal coaching calls all contributed to my successful completion of the program. This has not been just an 8 week journey. The lessons I learned along with the beautiful people that I've connected with, have made a lasting impact.

One Year No Beer is charging $10,000 USD for their 8-week program. Here's what their program delivers:

- A 1-hour "coaching" session per week (8 total). They purposely use the word "coach" instead of therapist as coaches aren't accredited or licensed psychologists / therapists (which would be a requirement to provide these services in the US). It's not clear what "addiction" training these "coaches" have.

- Two one-hour group zoom calls a week where you participate with other clients in the program. You get about 5 minutes to bring up any issues you are encountering. Otherwise you are listening to the 10 other clients. In my experience, participants showed up drunk and were very disruptive on the zoom calls.

- A weekly PDF workbook that you complete on your own. 

- Biometric monitoring using a product called First Beat, and an Oura ring. The First Beat was iffy to say the least. The Oura ring was decent, and you can monitor your sleep, exercise, etc.  You can easily obtain these on your own, and you don't need One Year No Beer to monitor your biometrics and you and tell you you aren't sleeping. This technology piece is a gimmick in my opinion. 

They use 3rd-party tools (Slack and Calendly) to do scheduling and online interaction. These technologies had serious issues and were in no way integrated to make it easier on the participants.

So if you add up deliverables (what you get for $10,000):
- 8 one hour coaching sessions, say they charge $100 per hour. That's $800
- The oura ring - $299
- The First Beat heart monitor - $275Total $1,374

So you are paying $8,626 to get 2 group zoom meetings a week, and a PDF workbook a week. 

Total ripoff. 

And here's the best, when I expressed my dissatisfaction with one of their founders, she said they don't make any assurances that clients won't be drinking after 8 weeks. and she admits that many of the clients DO continue to drink after the 8 week program. The program is named "One Year No Beer", doesn't that sound like a stop drinking program.

Save yourself the $10,000. Avoid them. Not worth it.

This has changed my life! The support was even better than I could have possibly imagined. I am now nearly at 2 years on my alcohol free journey. To anyone who is thinking about giving up alcohol …. just do it! Don’t put it off.
Thank you OYNB so much

The structure around an emotional ride! Knowing I wasn’t alone!

This program is excellent. Their coaches, support, and the tools they teach you make it every bit worth it. Be prepared to do the self work, and if you commit, you will be rewarded ten fold. I recommend this program whole heartedly, and it has exceeded my expectations.

OYNB Complete Control course has been a game changer for me. I was drinking heavily as a reward every night after my work and house hold duties/chores were done.

The course was quite intense with nightly workbook exercises to do and think about, coaching, group calls, trauma coaching and effort/commitment from me.

I recommend you take part in Complete Control whole heartedly and be sure to be vulnerable to help understand why and the underlying reasons for your drinking.

I am now 8 weeks Alcohol Free and feel good now and looking to the future

The journey to sobriety isn’t easy.
We all know this.
When I was sober curious a couple of years ago I joined OYNB to explore the support system.
I found the motivational videos and access to CEO Rauri F. encouraging. Giving me the feeling of one big family. Rauris brother did a one to one coaching session. FOR FREE.
The bugbears of truth and tools given helped me to grow.
The courses are wonderful. OYNB is incredible. Can’t recommend enough.

I got interested in Complete Control after hearing Ruari Fairbairns on the Rich Roll podcast. Some background on me: I’ve been trying for many years to cut down my alcohol consumption without success - read books and done the exercises in them, tried hypnotherapy recordings, listened to other podcasts such as interviews with Andy Rammage. I’ve also done a sober month a few times but each time drank heavily when it was over. I’m a very health-conscious person, also a runner wanting to improve my running performance, so it was a no-brainer that I shouldn’t be sabotaging my health and running (among many other things) with excessive alcohol consumption. Also I’m in my 50s and the health risks of alcohol in middle age are well known so I was feeling a sense of urgency to do something about my alcohol problem before it contributed to my untimely demise. I was really interested to delve into the reasons why I had been unable to get my drinking under control.

The course very thoroughly met my expectations and actually exceeded them due to the quality of the coaches and workbook exercises. It’s a very well-designed course with daily tasks (which most days only took 10-15mins, or some weeks I would spend an hour every few days) which provided constant reinforcement of what we were learning. Many of us shared our “homework” in the group chat on Slack and gave each other feedback which provided yet more positive reinforcement.

The twice-a-week group calls were very illuminating for two main reasons: (1) for us all to see that we weren’t alone, that other people had the same struggles, some while dealing with some very difficult personal circumstances or history; and (2) EVERYONE showed a massive improvement in their mood and sense of wellbeing once alcohol was removed. The whole group were brilliantly supportive of each other and I’ve made some good friends along the way.

Several coaches supported our group’s progress, both on the group calls and in the group chat on Slack and I have to say they were all brilliant in different ways. They were extremely encouraging and asked insightful questions which allowed us all to gain more self-knowledge.

The coaches were also available for one-on-one sessions. During my pre-course session with Alexandra, she asked one very pertinent question which I was confused by at the time but it ended up being the key to unlocking everything.

What the Complete Control programme has taught me is that a few decades on from when I first started drinking, my circumstances are completely different so my old beliefs are no longer relevant. Not only am I older and wiser, my social skills have matured so I don’t need alcohol as a social tool anymore.

The Complete Control programme made me realise that in addition to using alcohol as a social tool, I had been using it to numb unpleasant emotions. I also reflected that making myself tired all the time had further numbed my emotions. I was using cortisol and adrenaline to get through my days, which needed some release at the end of the day.

Removing alcohol has allowed me to get MUCH better sleep. Combined with meditation (something which the coaches constantly encouraged us to do) and adjusting some of my routines to be rushing around slightly less, I have injected a lot more calm into my life. I’m no longer spending all day yawning or coping with a high baseline level of stress. So now I don’t feel I need the release of alcohol at the end of the day. I certainly don’t need alcohol to give me a “second wind” that used to cause me to stay up too late and then be even more tired the next day.

The programme also encouraged us to become aware of our core values and think about how we could live our lives more in alignment with those values. This got us thinking about what we really want to do with our lives, and also realising that alcohol often gets in the way of that. But the course was about so much more than the alcohol! It really encouraged us all to think about how we want to live our best life in all areas. I’ve been working on learning some new things, such as Cantonese (via an app on my phone) which I have been meaning to do every day for the past 29 years that I’ve been living in Hong Kong and I’m finally doing it! This is just the tip of the iceberg of a lot of positive changes that I’m going to make in the coming years.

Thank you, OYNB and coaches, for this wonderful programme which has really lifted the lid on so many things and unshackled my potential for future personal growth.

I was hoping the outcome of this course would be that I could enjoy a few drinks without things getting out of hand. But now, when I contemplate doing that, it never feels like a good time to sabotage my sleep and my clear-headedness, so I don't feel tempted at all; the risk/reward profile doesn't make sense to me at the moment.

The Complete Control program brought me new tools, new insights, and tremendous support from coaches and fellow participants. I wasn't sure what the value would be when I began, but I believe it has started me on a fresh path with more appreciation and gratitude, less stress, and many new habits to build on. I'm very happy I chose to do this. Thank you to the CC team!

From the start, you notice something different. This program isn't about strict rules and guidelines. It's a journey of self-discovery. You quickly come to learn that alcohol is not a beneficial aid in this journey.

Please notice the use of "self" and "you". The OYNB team provides you with the space to arrive at your own conclusions in a judgement-free space. 10/10

OYNB guided me beyond simply controlling my alcohol intake, they helped me uncover my strengths and level up in every aspect of my life. I’m healthier, more focused, more confident, and happier than I’ve been in 30 years.

Except the unexpected

I thought this was purely about alcohol and how to change your relationship with it but it is so much more, I can’t believe how much I have learnt about myself which has enabled me to understand why I acted in certain ways. The OYNB course has simply changed my life for the better in so many ways

Whilst expensive it is worth every single £ I haven’t felt so well and so confident and in control for a very long time

You will make friends from around the world and learn from each of them. We are all on a similar but slightly different journey.

The support team are amazing always available with help and guidance throughout the course and I will never be able to thank them enough for all they have given me.

Do the OYNB course and your life will change for the better not just for you but for those around you and importantly you will be Calm and in Control.

Life changing - really. I loved this course, and have come away not on AF but with a lasting group of like-minded people I will stay in touch with.
Thanks OYNB

Following OYNB for a year (and dipping back into the videos whenever I like) made a huge difference to going alcohol free. They offer so many useful tricks/skills/ ideas to help stop drinking (Alcohol that is - they absolutely advise lots of other drinking otherwise you would die!😉) but not only are all these skills so good to help you stop they are also brilliant for so many other areas of your life. It will change your life - sign up now……we don’t regret the things we do (apart from drinking maybe🤔) we regret the things we don’t do…..if you don’t try you might never know how amazing life is without alcohol in it! My 2 main wins are I sleep better than I have ever slept before (apart from when I was a baby maybe but I can’t remember that) and my mood is high nearly all the time…..and there’s science behind that so go and give it a go - it truly is amazing….worth every single penny…..I have literally saved thousands of pounds by not buying poison!

One to one approach, in-depth unwinding of your personal "why" you drink. Uncovering your triggers and really drilling down on how to overcome them. I have been a daily drinker for over 25 years and no longer have the cravings or desire for alcohol. This program has completely changed my life, my relations with family, and my future. Thank you.

OYNB is amazing. i've used the 3 month programme to help get me on the right track, to change ingrained behaviours, and its been life changing, it really has changed my relationship with alcohol and i now understand the nature of the hold it had on me. i'm a take it or leave it girl now.
