Frequently
Asked Questions


Do I have to quit drinking completely?

Not at all. This programme is designed for people who want to cut back, reset, or find a healthier rhythm, without going fully sober.


What if I work in wine or hospitality?

You’re in the right place. ARC was built by someone who’s lived it, we understand the social pressure, daily exposure, and professional expectations.


Is this just another “willpower” approach?

No. We use neuroscience-backed strategies and habit tools to help you change how alcohol fits into your life – sustainably.


What if I want to upgrade to the Moderation Mastery Course later?

No problem, we’ll refund what you paid for the Essentials Plan if you upgrade within 3 months.

I saw his change, now it’s mine

Marcus, 51, wine importer

“I’ve known Alastair for years in the trade and watched him change his own relationship with alcohol. When he launched ARC, I knew it came from real experience. I finally tackled habits I’d brushed off for too long, and it’s made a huge difference.”

ARC: Sometimes the most credible guide is someone who knows their way around a wine cellar and has learnt how to take a different path.

Tags: trade-insider trust, long-term habits, credible change.

Like launching a new menu

Elena, 42, chef-owner

“I didn’t realise how much wine had crept into the rhythm of service and stress. ARC gave me the tools to break that loop. I’m sharper in the kitchen and more present at home. I didn’t expect that from a coaching programme.”

ARC: Food and drink are about connection, not coping. Change the rhythm and you keep the joy.

Tags: chef life, evening habits, energy boost, better presence.

Saw both sides of the bar

Tom, 48, head sommelier

“I’ve worked fine dining for decades, and always thought being surrounded by wine meant I had to drink like I did. But ARC helped me reset. I’ve kept my edge professionally, but now I enjoy wine on my terms. No more blur between work and wind-down.”

ARC: You don’t have to stop appreciating great wine. Just change the script that says every bottle needs finishing.

Tags: wine trade, boundaries, identity shift.

Finally slept through

Mike, 51, self-employed

“I thought waking at 3am was just part of getting older. Turns out, it was the wine. Now I sleep right through, and I’m sharper in the morning than I’ve been in years.”

ARC: Sleep is one of the first big wins when you cut back. You notice it. Everyone around you does too.

Tags: better sleep, clearer mornings, reduced intake.

Cracked the evening craving

Jess, 36, secondary school teacher

“The hardest part for me was the hour after work, wine o’clock. I swapped it for a hot shower, a proper dinner, and something good to watch. Sounds small, but it changed everything.”

ARC: Evening rituals are powerful. Change the script, and the craving often disappears with it.

Tags: evening cravings, habit replacement, after-work routine.

Reclaimed my weekends

Andy, 40, operations director

“I hadn’t realised how much I was wasting weekends feeling flat or hungover. Now I’ve got the energy to get out early, enjoy time with my kids, and still have a glass of wine if I want to.”

ARC: When alcohol stops dominating your downtime, you get your real life back. And it feels better than expected.

Tags: more energy, parenting, better weekends.

Not perfect, but proud

Daniel, 42, project manager

“I still have the odd night where I go over, but I don’t beat myself up anymore. I’m drinking less, feeling better, and actually enjoying it again.”

ARC: Progress isn’t about perfection, it’s about feeling in control more often than not.

Tags: progress over perfection, renewed enjoyment, balanced habits.

New tricks

Shauna, 81, retired teacher

“I was sceptical at first, but once I read it through, I realised my drinking patterns weren’t just about willpower. I could actually do something about them, and I have.”

ARC: Understanding the why can change everything. Action flows when you know the patterns.

Tags: mindset shift, effective tools, lasting change.

Transformational

Nicola, 56, entrepreneur

“I’ve been looking for something like this for years. It fits into my fast-paced lifestyle, and the changes were quick. I’m sleeping better, my social life’s better, and I’ve already taken two minutes off my 5k.”

ARC: Empowering, transformational, and real results at your own pace.

Tags: energy boost, better sleep, lifestyle shift.

No more awkward social nights

Rachel, 57, HR consultant

“I brought a sparkling tea to a Prosecco night with the girls, and no one cared. It felt weirdly empowering.”

ARC: Planning ahead gives you confidence. Most of the pressure we feel is internal. Once you own it, others follow your lead.

Tags: social confidence, alcohol alternatives, empowerment.

Better sleep, better skin, better me

Priya, 35, marketing manager

“I didn’t realise how much alcohol affected my body until I gave it a break. The change was fast and obvious.”

ARC: Your body often responds faster than you expect. It’s encouraging when those changes show on the outside too.

Tags: better sleep, visible results, physical reset.

Pause that changed everything

Tom, 38, architect

“The 15-minute delay broke the autopilot. I didn’t always skip the drink, but I always felt more in control.”

ARC: The pause is a pattern disruptor. Even a small amount of space changes the whole outcome.

Tags: intentional drinking, breaking habit loops, simple strategies.

Finally back in control

David, 66, retired teacher

“It’s not perfect, but I don’t feel stuck anymore. I’m choosing what works for me, not running on habit.”

ARC: Control doesn’t mean perfection. It means having the freedom to pause, think, and choose again.

Tags: regained confidence, mindset shift, sustainable control.

Saved over £200 a month

Louise, 53, health care professional

“From a bottle a night to 1.5 a week, and it wasn’t even hard. I feel better, and I’m saving a fortune.”

ARC: When you change the habit, the benefits ripple out. Health, money, clarity. It’s all connected.

Tags: reduced intake, financial savings, improved wellbeing.

Life-changing clarity

Mark, 45, solicitor

“I thought I was functioning fine, but now I’ve got focus, energy, and calm, and I didn’t know that was missing. I still enjoy a drink, but on my terms, not on autopilot.”

ARC: Sometimes you don’t realise what’s dragging you down until it lifts.

Tags: better focus, calmer mood, mental clarity.
