The Sober School Avis 

From day 1 I knew I was in the right place. After numerous attempts to ‘moderate’ over many years the deal breaker for me ‘just try doing 6 weeks without a drink’. That really resonated as I thought if I can’t do that I really do have a major problem. From the daily lessons, the community chat, support from the coaches and total honesty I began to see the benefits almost immediately. The course is so well paced, so practical, so insightful and it feels like a miracle that I stumbled across it. I love my ‘sobriety super power’.

This is a wonderful course. The approach is just right for women who may already know a lot and might find it hard to say ‘I’m never drinking again’. There is really good content that makes you think and a helpful structure to follow. You are not boxed in, not talked down to, warmly respected and encouraged, taken seriously, able to stay private. There is a strong relational ethic that comes through in the course, and a pragmatism that one size does not fit all. I have found it the most useful experience in a very long time and I am grateful I found it.

If you are checking out these reviews to see if this is for real, I did that too! I’ve just completed, today actually, the coming unstuck April 2026 course. It has meant I have managed to be alcohol free for 6 weeks. I’m not going to say it was easy, it wasn’t, but I had the support of the course, the help and advice form the course coaches, but most importantly to me the other support of the other wonderful ladies on the course. You have daily lessons which can be done anytime of the day. They take around 15 minutes a day or longer if you want them to, Support from a group of like minded ladies, all going through the same as you. That support is truly wonderful. I’ve already made some new friends and shared things I haven’t told anyone before. Or you can just read, listen and not join in, if that’s not your thing. There are weekly zoom meetings so you can ask Kate the course leader questions. You have a section where you can ask the course coaches if you have any problems, worries or just need a safe place to share. It is a well run, sympathetic but positive approach to helping you reach your goals. I feel great and I’m now moving on to join the next group, the Sober Club. Believe me if I can do this, so can you!

The course is described as not requiring willpower. However, you have to stop drinking all by yourself on Day One - which clearly requires willpower.

Each day you receive a short video, which is a "lesson" but I did not find the content interesting or novel or anything I could not have found anywhere else.

The programme consists mainly of posting your response to the daily video onto a group chat. Some "coaches" who are ex-participants of the course, rather than Kate Bee herself, sometimes add comments. No private coaching is available, only responses to questions asked in the group chat.

Overall, I found it did nothing to help with drinking alcohol, and it was incredibly expensive for what it was. Nothing seemed based on any research or actual approaches to giving up alcohol.

A life changing course for me. The daily "lessons", the non-judgmental and accessible support from Kate Bee, her team and peers took me to a better understanding of the whys and how to manage life without alcohol. I took this course over 5 years ago and have never once regretted it or wished I hadn't spent the money on it. At the Sober School meet up in January 2026 I was delighted to be reunited with my course mates and friends ☺️
My life has been given an upgrade and I will always be grateful that I enrolled. Rachel M

On paper this is a very enticing programme. Sign up for a week of free zooms and workbooks and access to people in the same position. Its not aimed at addicts or alcoholics..in fact these words are banned..and other programmes are villafied. Its also not run by a certified counsellor or medical professional..but a former addict laying claim to the stories of women who have cut down their moderate drinking to even more moderator. The free week and all the resources as well as your access to the commubity is removed after a week so you cant acess the help and emails aernt answered. Because that support is only offered with your bank details. I would seek more professional help and avoid clever marketing..which as we know is geared towards the vulnerable

The support of the group is so helpful. Kate's daily lessons and weekly group zoom calls kept me feeling connected and motivated to continue alcohol free for the duration of the course. Totally worth the investment! I have now progressed onto the Sober Club my next goal 100 days sober!

The course has been hugely helpful and supportive. Made you feel like you are not alone with daily emails and weekly zoom meetings if you wish. It has made me realise that sobriety needs to be worked at but the rewards are immense. I’ve learnt through this course that I’m prepared for red flags and trip hazards that will occur through the sobriety journey which, going alone, I would not have managed.
Thank you so much.

I took the week long Sober school reset back in November and really liked the non- judgemental approach with lessons based on science as well as experience.
I joined the Get Unstuck course at the beginning of January, full of trepidation and thinking "what have I to lose apart from a bit of money?". The best decision I've made in a long time - a truly safe space for women wanting to stop drinking, supportive, encouraging, empowering and, crucially, non- judgemental.
The daily lessons fit into your schedule, the community support as well as that from the coaches is amazing - there's nothing they haven't heard before and certainly other members have similar experiences to mine, you won't be alone.
I've completed the 6 week course successfully and have a completely different view about alcohol and myself. I've joined the Stay sober Club for ongoing support and training but this is entirely optional - there's no hard sell here or trying to sell you bolt on products etc.
Brush away the doubts and change your life!

I joined the getting unstuck Sober School class in January 2026 after trying for years to cut down. Kate's down to earth attitude and common sense approach worked for me. The online school makes it easy to fit into your schedule. I recommend the Sober School for women who want a sober life.

I had been following Kate Bee on instagram taking on board her advice but it wasn’t enough for me I discovered moderation didn’t work for me and my drinking was spiralling .. The sober school community has so far been THE best thing for me .. I cant recommend Kate and her team enough …

I highly recommend the Sober School, the Getting unstuck 6 week course. A well structured course, with guidance, homework, a strong, supportive community and a coaching, which is second to none.
One of the best decisions in my life.

Kate Bee's Sober School is ALL that is says to be! Experienced, sober leadership women helping women (only) navigate their lives to an 'upgraded' alcohol-free life. They cover the full spectrum of education about alcohol to the self-care that we're lacking. They have created a very 'safe space' for women to work through and connect with others that are like-minded around their drinking habits. I highly recommend the six week Unstuck Course. It's worth every penny of investing in yourself!

I feel incredibly lucky and grateful that someone shared Kate's Wine O'Clock guide with me when I was feeling a great need to reduce my alcohol intake. It spoke to me even before i read it. I looked into a few other programs to validate my initial thought and it was clear this was where I needed to be, amongst a community of women with similar concerns and a common goal. Six weeks sounded scary, but I fully committed to the process and it not only went incredibly fast, but I succeeded being AF for the six weeks and have committed to 120 days and the ongoing support of the The Sober School. The community and support makes all the difference

I joined in October 2025 having tried to stop drinking alcohol many many many times but I just couldn't. I was very sceptical in the beginning. I thought it might be a scam. But I said to myself, what can you lose, money or your desire to stop alcohol drinking. I was desperate so I tried. It was the best decision I have ever made in my whole life. The daily lessons keep you on track and the very professional and educated Kate Bee and team are just marvelous. I am alcohol free now and loving life. Thank you Sober School

I was skeptical, mostly due to the cost. I thought about it for about 6 months, and nothing got any better with my secret drinking in that time. I missed the deadline and thought oh well, that’s that. Then Kate opened up registration for 1 more day due to the final call emails being at a weekend and her receiving numerous requests to join. So I drank 2 bottles of Prosecco and signed up, and they were the last drinks I have had. Sure, it’s only day 41 for me now, but it’s the longest I’ve not drunk in about 6 years. The course helps reshape your mind, and you are constantly going back to tools you have been taught. Kate is so relatable and has been there herself. The lessons aren’t time consuming and you can rewatch the daily zoom calls if you can’t make them at the time. I haven’t ever really done anything like this before. I had Googled Am I an alcoholic plenty of times, along with what are the symptoms of liver damage, how many years can you drink before your liver stops recovering, what help is there? I didn’t want to join an open group like AA and get a label. Kate is not about labels, she guides you so gently I didn’t even realise what were getting to the root of until half way in. I’m a mum of 2 young children in the UK, and was feeling such guilt at the shame and anxiety of hiding my drinking at home from my husband, not being present for the kids, and ensuring it was always me emptying the recycling bins so no one knew the extent of things! This course has helped me to reset my life and I’m loving it. And the cost, in 2 months, I’ve almost saved all of the money on booze anyway. Best money spent, and such a lovely, gentle course; but it gets you right where you need to be. What have you got to lose, except the shame, guilt and anxiety :) x

I have just completed the Getting Unstuck course! It’s not a scam, it’s well worth the money (the same as 6 weeks worth of wine for me!) and I can’t recommend it enough. I tried for years and went down all avenues of options, none worked. I was dubious at first so I just subscribed to the free advice to start. I received emails and short videos and it totally clicked with me, so I signed up for the course January 2026! Kate and her team are amazing and so are the community you link up too! Thank you Kate and team x

I knew I needed to address my relationship with alcohol and had followed Kate’s blog for a couple of months. I considered doing the unstuck course but I was worried about the cost. I miserably fell off dry January on day two, which coincided with an email from Kate about the course. Her empathy was so genuine I was convinced.

I have now completed the six week course and throughout I have felt seen, understood and supported.

The course is professional and educating, and run by a skilled team with a personal approach. I haven’t had a perfect journey, but I am well on my way, which would not have been my story if I hadn’t taken the course. I don’t have to hide anymore. This was by far the best way I could have invested in myself, and I easily saved the equivalent cost in booze and associated spending in this time.

I have signed up to the Stay Sober Club as I am enjoying the education and community it offers. I am excited about my alcohol free future, and massively recommend anyone who wishes to change their drinking habits to sign up to the course. If you’re reading this, then you know it’s the right time for you. You won’t regret it.

I would give this 10 stars if I could! I have been trying to quit alcohol for about 5 years as it had taken over my life - I tried moderation, Alan carrs easy way books and online seminar plus various other self helps books and audio books and nothing worked. I started the sober school in Jan 2026 and I have now been AF for 7 weeks!! It amazing, you get a little lesson every day so your always learning without the over load, you get a fabulous community of like minded women who are in a similar rut to you, and you get access to the coaches whenever you need it. It’s the best thing I have ever done, i never thought id be free from drink. I am so glad to have found this course and I can’t recommend it enough. Invest the money in yourself, it’s the best money you can spend if you want to quit the booze completely. Good luck.

I attended The Sober School and took the class in Oct., 2022: Getting Unstuck Course because I felt stuck with a daily habit of consuming wine and not really wanting to be drinking so much nor knowing why I was doing it. It felt like a habit I just did. I was a productive person, very functional and successful. I continued to try convincing myself, so what’s so bad about a few drinks a day? That’s when I realized I wanted the anxiety to go away, I wanted to be clear from the brain fog, to stop feeling sad or mad, to feel happy and totally present in my daily life and important relationships. To remember everything and regret nothing.
Kate Bee, at The Sober School, has done a fabulous job with creating the online class called: The Getting Unstuck Course, and I loved the daily video and lesson which I could do at my convenience. It was so interesting and empowering. I liked that the short daily lessons have a question for reflection with the option to post to the community for further discussion with other women in the group. I found this helpful and gained great insight from the other women on this journey. I was surprised to see so many successful women with the same issues as I experienced. In 2022, I stopped drinking for a long time, then started moderating off and on. Fast forward to summer 2025, I was realizing that I did not feel good with moderating, even if I only drank 2 glasses of wine a day, so I decided it was optimal for my health to ditch alcohol for good. I got an app to track my days of being alcohol free. It took me ten tries and a few months before I was 100% alcohol-free and then I was on my way to my goal of being 365 days alcohol-free. I was wavering on this goal a bit when I thought I need some more support, but did not know what. Then I learned about a second class by The Sober School, Kate Bee called Back To Sober School for graduates. There was a free zoom call on January 1st and I immediately signed up. I attended the free informational class and took copious notes. This was exactly what I needed! I signed up for the Back to Sober School class which was daily lessons and then Sundays were fun because we had a break from the lessons to listen to an interview of how another Sober School graduate shared her trials and tribulations as well as her success to living an alcohol-free lifestyle.
I now have the tools and knowledge to cement in my alcohol-free lifestyle, and to feel good about it. I learned so much from The Sober School and Kate Bee, and I am beyond grateful to her devotion to helping women around the world change their lives by choosing an alcohol-free lifestyle.
After the class, you will be invited to be in the Stay Sober Club, which is ongoing support to graduates of the class. Don’t miss it!
In summary… for me, even moderating a couple of glasses of wine was not working for me. I learned about truth about alcohol and how harmful it really is – and why one glass always lead to more, so I could break the habit.
Kate Bee has devoted the past ten years to helping women worldwide achieve sobriety. Her former experience as a journalist, her factual approach combined with being compassionate and her great sense of humor makes it so fun and engaging to listen to the messages and lessons.
Wishing you the best on your alcohol-free journey. The best in life starts here!

PS: I highly recommend her book, How to Go Alcohol Free. I read one paragraph a day and continue to be alcohol-free.
