Prepare To Quit


November 2, 2026

Hi Reader,
​

We're getting closer to the kickoff of Prepare to Quit, and spots are filling up! I'm so excited about the individuals who have already said YES to taking this first step toward changing their relationship with alcohol.
​

I wanted to reach out again because I don't want you to miss this opportunity!
​

Rose Ann Forte, creator of Choose Freedom®, and I are teaming up for a special five-week LIVE small-group course called Prepare to Quit! This is a unique opportunity to work directly with Rose Ann, the author of Prepare to Quit, and me, a Certified Choose Freedom® Coach.

As a coach, I've had the privilege of witnessing incredible transformations in the lives of people who once felt stuck in their relationship with alcohol. I've watched them rediscover confidence, strengthen their relationships, grow closer to God, and experience a freedom they weren't sure was possible.
​

And here's something I've learned: You don't have to have everything figured out to begin changing your life.
​

Maybe you've been thinking about taking a break from alcohol. Maybe you've tried moderating, setting rules, or promising yourself that next month will be different. Or maybe you're simply wondering if life could be better without alcohol playing such a big role.
​

This course was created for YOU!
​

And remember, you do NOT have to stop drinking before or during this course. There is no pressure to quit. We're simply going to explore your beliefs about alcohol, understand what's keeping you stuck, and begin preparing your heart and mind for whatever comes next.

Why are we doing this during the holidays?
​

Because this season gives us real-life opportunities to recognize how alcohol shows up in our celebrations, traditions, stress, and relationships. Instead of waiting for another New Year's resolution, what if you entered January with greater clarity, confidence, and a plan?
​

I believe God can use these five weeks to plant seeds of change in your life. Sometimes the smallest step of faith opens the door to something greater than we ever imagined.
​

Here are the details:

  • Dates: Mondays, November 30 – December 28, 2026
  • Time: 6:00–7:00 PM Central
  • Where: LIVE on Zoom
  • Investment: Just $59 for all FIVE sessions (book purchased separately)
  • Your Coaches: Rose Ann Forte and Coach Amy Edwards
    ​

Spots are filling up, and we're keeping this group small so everyone has the opportunity to participate, ask questions, and feel supported.
​

❤️ CLICK HERE TO SAVE YOUR SPOT IN PREPARE TO QUIT!​
​

I would absolutely love to see you there!
​

And if you know someone who has been questioning their drinking but isn't quite ready to quit, please forward this email to them. You never know whose life might be changed by a simple invitation.
​

Remember, you don't have to be ready to quit to be ready for change.

​
Peace & Joy,

Choose Freedom Coach,

Say Goodbye and Imagine Podcast!

I had the privilege of turning the tables and interviewing Rose Ann Forté on her Say Goodbye and Imagine podcast! In Episode 93, I loved Jesus but Couldn't Stop Drinking - Part 2 - Rose Ann shares her personal story of struggling with alcohol while faithfully serving God and others. We talk about shame, broken promises, and the fear of asking for help—and why you don't have to stay stuck.
​🎧 Tune in to Part 2 of this powerful conversation!​

“Amy wasn’t just a coach—she was a trusted guide who helped me reconnect with who I truly am. Her empathy, wisdom, and real-life insight made the Choose Freedom journey feel safe, powerful, and full of grace. I didn’t just let go of alcohol—I am finding freedom in all areas of my life.” -Annie M.
