Your questions, answered

It's for successful, busy people who enjoy a drink but have a sense that alcohol is holding them back. You don't need to be in crisis, and you don't need to call yourself anything. Whether you want a break, a fresh start or a whole new relationship with alcohol, the method meets you where you are.

No, and that's the point. You don't need willpower to resist something you don't want. The method helps you change how you see alcohol, so going alcohol-free feels like a choice you want to make, not a fight.

No. That's entirely your choice. Many people start with a break of 30, 60 or 90 days to see how they feel. What you do after that is up to you. Lots of people find that once they've felt the alcohol-free advantage, they don't want to go back.

It happens, and it's part of learning. There's no shame and no starting again from zero. Notice what led to it, take the lesson, and carry on. Your support emails, the group and your coach are all there to help you get back on track.

Please speak to your GP or a medical professional before you start. If your body is used to alcohol, stopping suddenly can be dangerous, and medical support keeps you safe. The Willpower Free Method is coaching and education, not medical treatment, and it isn't designed for alcohol dependence. You're very welcome to join once your doctor is happy for you to go ahead.

Andy Ramage is a performance coach who has been alcohol-free for over a decade. He holds an MSc in Coaching and Positive Psychology and created the Willpower Free Method to help people discover the alcohol-free advantage for themselves.

Everyone's journey is different, and what you get from the programme depends on you.

If you're just getting started and like to work on your own, Self-drive is a great first step. If you'd like Andy and a group of like-minded people alongside you, choose WFM LIVE. If you've already been alcohol-free for a while and want to see how far you can go, apply for Limitless.

Limitless is a small, committed group. Andy reads every application himself to make sure it's the right fit for you. If it is, he'll send you a start date and a payment link.

Yes. Start with our free 30-Day Alcohol-Free Challenge, or take the free Alcohol-Free Advantage Score to see where you are right now. Both are on andyramage.com: the Challenge and the Advantage Score and give you a real taste of how Andy works before you choose a programme.

You choose your next step. Self-drive members often move on to WFM LIVE for extra support. WFM LIVE members can apply for Limitless. And some Limitless members go on to train as coaches themselves, to help others do the same.

Everything is online. Once you've paid, you'll get an email with your login. You can use a computer, tablet or phone with an internet connection. Live sessions run on Zoom.

Whenever you feel ready. Many people pick a start date a week or two ahead and clear their diary of big social events for the first few weeks. The course walks you through how to prepare.

Everything is designed to fit around a busy life.

Yes, and it can make a big difference. Doing it alongside a friend or partner gives you someone to share the wins with.

They start once you've completed Step 1 of the online course, so they arrive when you've actually begun, not the moment you buy. If life gets in the way, we'll send a gentle nudge.

For 12 months from the day you buy, on both Self-drive and WFM LIVE. WFM LIVE also gives you 90 days of daily support emails and the monthly live sessions. Limitless runs for 6 months. You can go back over lessons as often as you like during that time.

Yes. Live sessions run in the UK evening.

WFM LIVE sessions run once a month on a Monday evening, 7pm to 9pm UK time. See the next three dates.

Limitless masterclasses run once a month on a weekday evening, 7pm to 8:30pm UK time. The day can change from month to month, so please check the dates. See the next three dates.

You'll also be invited to each session by email as the dates are set.

Willpower Free sessions are not recorded and not shared.

Limitless sessions will be recorded and shared.

Ideally, yes.

Your session lasts an hour: a 15-minute chemistry session so you and your coach can get to know each other, followed by a 45-minute coaching call. You'll book it online at a time that suits you both.

Please give at least 24 hours' notice. You can reschedule once. If you cancel with less than 24 hours' notice, or don't turn up, the session is lost, because your coach has kept that time free for you.

No, joining is entirely optional. The private Limitless group is where the weekly lives happen and where members support each other, so we'd love you to be part of it. It's a positive, alcohol-free space with clear group rules, so everyone feels safe to share. If you'd rather not use Facebook, you'll still get your monthly masterclasses, daily notes and your 1:1 session.

Yes. You have your own login, and your progress through the course is private to you. Nobody else can see which lessons you've done.

Only if you say so. We won't share your details with a coach unless you've given permission before your session.

Yes. Anything personal you share in your 1:1, including about your drinking, stays between you and your coach. Your coach keeps any notes; we don't receive them.

Other members of your group can see your name, and your face and voice if your camera or microphone is on. What's shared in the group stays in the group, and nobody may record or screenshot sessions.

You can read our full Privacy Policy for more detail.

Yes, for WFM LIVE (3 monthly payments of £175, £525 in total) and Limitless (6 monthly payments of £197, £1,182 in total). Payments are taken automatically each month.

Self-drive is a single payment of £97.

No. Because you get instant access to the programme, all sales are final. At checkout, you'll be asked to tick a box confirming you want access straight away and understand there are no refunds. Please take your time to choose the right programme, and get in touch before you buy if you have any questions. This doesn't affect your legal rights if something is faulty or not as described.

If we ever have to cancel a live session or your coach has to cancel your 1:1, we'll rearrange it. If we can't, we'll refund that part.

Email us at team@andyramage.com. One of the team will reply within 5 working days, and usually much sooner.
