Welcome to a space that empowers and inspires anyone looking to redefine their relationship with alcohol.

The Teahouse is built on three foundational pillars.

First, we have an engaging deck of 32 inspirational cards, created by Susan Duffy. Drawing from my personal journey away from alcohol, I  transformed my insights into engaging cartoons. Each card delivers a clear and impactful message, making it accessible to a diverse audience of all ages. Whether you're aiming to reshape your own relationship with alcohol or spark a conversation with your children about its effects, these cards illuminate the challenges faced and offer practical solutions for everyday obstacles on this path.

Secondly, with your purchase of the cards, you'll gain access to a private chat group. This space fosters connection and support within a vibrant and expanding community of sober-curious individuals.

Thirdly, our social media hub, The Western Monk Teahouse, is a treasure trove of videos, practical tips, and enjoyable content available at your convenience. Over the years, I have curated a library filled with valuable resources, including insightful books, engaging podcasts, mocktail recipes, and recommendations for the best alcohol-free dining options.

No matter where you are on your journey towards sobriety, or what sobriety looks like for you, I’m looking forward to connecting with you on this path forward.

Inspirational Cards for Breaking Bad Habits

I tried to give up alcohol several times. Each time I gave up I would educate myself that little bit more about the hurdles and the brick walls, which hinder the process.

Eventually the 7th time I tried, I knew with every cell in my body that this was the time, I would never go back.

Being creative has been an immense help in navigating my escape from a habit, which has gripped my family for generations.

I hope you enjoy my creation as much as I enjoyed making it and it helps you loosen your grip on any habit you may have.
