Press Pause 90 · Karl Elliott

Press pause on alcohol for 90 days. See what comes back.

No label. No lecture. No forever promise.

Press Pause 90 is for men and women aged 30 to 55 who are still working, still parenting and still holding life together — but privately know drinking is taking more than it gives.

Book Your Power Hour

A private one-to-one conversation with me. Complimentary. No obligation to join anything.

You probably already know

You're not falling apart.

Work gets done. The kids get to school. Bills get paid. From the outside, everything looks fine.

But you know.

The mornings are heavier than they used to be. Sleep is broken. Sundays keep disappearing. Your patience is thinner. You're in the room with your family, but not really there.

And you keep having the same conversation with yourself about drinking.

“I won't drink in the week.”
“I'll only have two tonight.”
“I'll stop after this weekend.”
“I'll do a month off and get myself back on track.”

Then the rule changes. The week moves on. And alcohol stays in the middle of the conversation.

The real problem

You don't need another rule. You need a proper break from the argument.

You've probably already tried cutting down. You've negotiated days, numbers, weekends, occasions and exceptions.

The problem is that even when you're trying to control drinking, drinking is still taking up space in your head.

Press Pause 90 removes the negotiation for 90 days.

No forever decision. No new identity. Just enough distance to find out what your life actually feels like without alcohol running the diary.

Why me

I'm Karl. I've been alcohol-free since June 2016.

Before that, I drank daily for years. I worked. I parented. I kept life moving. From the outside, mostly fine.

Privately, alcohol was taking my sleep, my energy, my mornings, my patience, my fitness, my self-respect and my presence with the people closest to me.

I didn't decide to stop forever. Forever was too big.

I pressed pause for 90 days. Those 90 days became a year. The year became ten.

I'm not asking you to copy my ending. I'm asking you to give yourself enough distance to see what comes back.

What people have said

This is about much more than counting days.

“I came to Karl to deal with alcohol. What I didn't expect was how much it opened up everything else. Working with Karl helped me understand there were other areas of my life I'd been ignoring. He helped me with those too. It wasn't just about drinking. It was about becoming a better version of me.”

Bee, mum of two, UK

“I started thinking this was just a 30-day break. Karl's experience and the way he works made me realise I could go so much further. I'm now 4 stone lighter and competing in triathlons with my son. I wouldn't have believed that was possible when we first spoke.”

Ken, 65, United States

“Working with Karl gave me the confidence to face something I'd been scared of. Being alcohol-free isn't a stigma anymore. It's something I'm genuinely proud of. Karl helped me see it that way.”

Tom, 35, UK

The practical stuff

Your real life doesn't stop for 90 days.

The 6pm moment

The glass while cooking. The reward after work. The point where the rule you made in the morning starts moving. We plan for that moment before it arrives.

Social occasions

The pub, dinner, a work event, football, friends. You don't hide from your life. We decide how you're handling it before you walk through the door.

Your partner still drinks

That's fine. This is your pause, not theirs. You don't need the whole house to stop drinking for you to do this.

A difficult day

If you wobble, you don't disappear and start again next month. We look at what happened, adjust the plan and carry on.

Safety

One important thing before you start

Press Pause 90 is not suitable for anyone who may be physically dependent on alcohol.

If you drink in the morning to feel steady, shake or sweat when you haven't had a drink, have had withdrawal symptoms before, or are worried about stopping safely, speak with your GP or another suitable medical professional before changing your drinking.

I'm a coach and mentor, not a medical professional. If that applies to you, the right first step is medical support, not a coaching payment.

Questions people ask

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to quit forever?

No. Press Pause 90 is 90 days. On day 91, you decide what happens next.

What if I'm not “bad enough” for this?

This is built for people who are still functioning but privately know drinking is taking more than it gives.

Is the Power Hour a sales call?

It is a real conversation about what's happening, what you want to change and whether Press Pause 90 is a sensible fit. If it isn't, I'll tell you. There is no obligation to join anything.

Can I start Private straight away?

Yes, subject to availability. The Power Hour is the first step so we can make sure the programme is right for you before you pay.

Can I buy the Group now?

Not yet. I'm currently building the evergreen group version so the community and support are properly in place before I open direct purchase.

Your next step

You don't need to decide forever. You just need to stop having the same argument with yourself.

If you're tired of waking up making one decision and watching it change as the day goes on, start with a conversation with me.
