From Sober in Richmond (The Solstice Guy): “I started my 100 Day challenge on the Solstice [and am celebrating 10.5 years sober on June 21st] … If there is anyone out there who needs some motivation to start – perhaps they can do the Solstice to Solstice. It really helped me to have the power of the whole darn earth behind me rather than a day or date on a calendar … It’s an incredibly magical thing, the Solstice to Solstice!”
Imagine it’s the longest day of the year (June 20th in the northern hemisphere). Imagine you’re sober. This can be your Day 1 or maybe it’s your Day 50. Or 400. Doesn’t matter. Can you see yourself sober on December 21st? Winter Solstice. Stand here. Look ahead 180 days. Because if you think the view from day 100 is great, wait until you see 180 days.

I like the idea of having the ‘whole darn earth behind me’ – how about you?
I am three weeks sober today and have realized I'm not going back this time. Solstice to Solstice is my Try Different.
This sounds amazing ! Count me in
I'd like to try this with all of you and the whole earth behind me.
I will be staying sober solstice to solstice. I am very happy about it! It is such an important time to be taking great care of ourselves.
I would love to be. Don't understand why I still pick up a glass of wine
Though I have been a subscriber for a few years, this is only my second long-term time with sobriety since then. I am on 98 days today, June 23rd 2025. I would like to do a solstice to solstice challenge.
It's day 543, so let's keep going. SOLSTICE TO SOLSTICE, We got this!!
i want to thank you for your daily emails and your insights. they give me hope and encouragement as I am on my transition to sobriety. Since my cardiac arrest and almost dying, I have been processing my trauma response throughout my whole life and have realized that I had become a daily drinker since the Fall of 2022 when everything began resurfacing. Along with my weekly therapist visits, your writings have helped me realized that alcohol is no longer a "friend" or healthy. It really never was but I bought into the whole ethos. I have had about 10 "day 1's" this year but know i am headed in the right direction. Your counsel helps and I want you to know. Thank you!
I am in!
I am in, for me and only me.
A day late but I’m in
Love this idea, I’m in!
I will be sober from Solstice to Solstice 2025, and beyond 🙂
I am on day 665 now and although I'm feeling I'm never ever going back, all sober support you and all contributors to your site/mails/challenges offer is helpful to me in one way or the other. So count me in!
Hi. I am a lurker. I am 504 days sober and still plodding on. I joined a gym last week. I feel ready to be seen. Solstice to solstice sounds like a great support in my toolbox. Love you Belle can’t thank you enough for getting me this far x
Day 69 for me, will absolutely be sober solstice to solstice. Thank you!
Love the idea of sobriety from solstice to solstice. It’s a little mystical, a little woo. I can definitely commit to the days but this will be interesting.
I am going to do it, I'm in
Absolutely I'm in!! On day 1187 and still want to channel the earth and follow solstice guy's example. Can't imagine going back to when Wolfie controlled everything. But still using my supports including daily emails.
Thank you Belle you truly changed my life. 😊
I will be sober solstice to solstice!
Thank you Belle!
I love this. Did it last year so let's do it again!
Hi Belle.
I know, I message you every so often, yet I haven't come out of that shit, at least not completely.
But I now live on the French Riviera, Nice (and very nice indeed ), and if I live here, it's because I want to enjoy the sun, the beaches, the lifestyle (at least when I am not working, as a freelancer in the event industry)..
And what stops me from living it to the full? Guess what, the booze, every evening.Waking up feeling a little crap? having stomach in pain, worrying to leave home.. WHAT A WASTE OF LIFE AND JOY (and sunbathing, and swimming), and health of course…
My drinking problem is when I am alone. I feel I have a circumstantial problem somehow..I recently spent (twice) a fortnight at my Godmother and her companion, in Antibes, I didn't have a single drink, and felt completely fine. Likewise when i was recently working on an event in Capri..
Anyway, yeaaaaaah, I am doing the SOLSTICE SUCCESS.
Thanks for being still here, and good luck to all the girlies fighting, sometimes alone (like me) or not helped enough.. Big BISOUS from the South of France .. ps, absolutely love the 60's montage
Love this! I’m in! I just hit my 6 months sober on June 17, so going S2S will carry me through to my 1 year milestone. Woohoo! Thank you Belle for all you do.
I wouldn’t be at my 6 months sober without your daily emails. They are an important key in my toolkit! I love your analogies – they usually hit me with a “duh”! How did I not see that. So simple yet so powerful.
Thank you for helping to save my life! 💕💕💕
