A Message From Our Founder – Ange Chappel
Three years ago I launched an app to help people drink less without feeling like they had to quit completely.
At the time, most options felt very all or nothing. That didn’t sit right for me, and I knew it didn’t for a lot of other people either.
I wanted something practical. A way for people to understand their habits and change them in a way that actually works in real life.
So that’s what I built.
What started as a simple tracking app has grown into a lot more than I expected.
We’ve now got courses, a coaching pathway, and booze free events happening in different cities.
There have been media opportunities, panel conversations, and moments where I’ve thought, this is actually becoming something bigger.
But the part that matters most is still the same.
The messages from people saying they feel more in control.
The small shifts that start to add up.
The honesty that comes with actually looking at your habits properly.
That’s always been the point.
I think what’s changed over the last few years is that more people are open to questioning their drinking.
It’s not as unusual now to say you’re not drinking, or that you’re trying to cut back. There are more alcohol free options, more conversations happening, and less pressure to just go along with it.
There’s still a long way to go, but it’s moving.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that people don’t need more rules or another reset.
They need awareness.
They need something they can stick to.
And they need support that actually fits into their life.
That’s what Mind The Sip is here for.
Thanks to everyone who’s been part of it so far. Whether you’ve downloaded the app, joined a course, come to an event, or just followed along quietly.
Three years in and we’re just getting started.
