Justin is simply a ball of positive energy who turned his life completely on its head when he went sober nearly a decade ago. From being an extremely social drinker for most of his younger years to finding himself alcohol dependant over a period of months, his story really shows how quickly things can descend.
In this episode he covers so many benefits to sobriety that he has noticed in that time but in particular how it's impacted how he interacts with the world from a spiritual perspective, his diet and his health.
This episode does come with a warning to always seek medical advice if you are at all concerned that you could be alcohol dependant before attempting to stop drinking.

Listen in as Louisa catches up with Emily who credits her sobriety with changing so many things in her life that it was difficult to pick out just three.
Emily is such a ball of positive sober energy but by her own admission she wasn't always like that when alcohol was a part of her life. From struggling with Mummy Wine Culture in the past to now embracing sober dating, self development and viewing herself in a totally different light... this is an amazing look at how many different things change when you go sober.

After a lovely Easter Break the podcast is back with some amazing guests lined up for you and lots of sober positivity. Join Louisa as she talks to Carmela about how alcohol impacted her life and what made her say enough was enough.
Carmela is a real example of what a positive mindset can achieve and she is thriving and in her career in hospitality, not the easiest job to be sober in! She is about to celebrate 4 years of sobriety in July but what scared her the most was how she would black out as a drinker with no warning and still look to the outside world like she was with them.
Her journey of self discovery is a really interesting and thought provoking one but this episode does come with a trigger warning as eating disorders are discussed alongside the usual topics of sobriety and alcohol.

In this last episode of the first series, Louisa catches up with Annie who works for the NHS and has found amazing ways to incorporate her sobriety into every aspect of her life including her work.
Going from being a teenager that didn't really like alcohol but drank to fit in, through to later in life using alcohol to unwind and cope with the stresses of her job during the pandemic, shows how gradually alcohol can take hold. The way that Annie talks about connecting to her senses in sobriety really sells the concept of ensuring you're doing the inner work on yourself and how much you get get out of that process. A captivating and fascinating interview to end series one, thank you Annie.
The Sober Rebel podcast will be beck next month with amazing guests and more positive chat about sobriety!

Join Louisa in a very special episode when she catches up with an old school friend who decided to go sober 6 months ago.
Harry is an absolute inspiration in everything he's achieving. From winning the Slimming World's 'Biggest Loser' and losing a massive 5 stone (and counting), through to being more available for his family in sobriety and rediscovering a joy of the every day.

Join Louisa and Mitch as they talk about the difference that sobriety has made to his life in general, his career, his relationships and also about how having 'smart feet' has been key for him.
Mitch found himself in the depths of addiction at a very young age and now has 17 years sobriety and experience in the recovery sector to pull from. He has an amazing way of sharing advice and tips that anyone can benefit from. Whereas his story is one of extremes, to quote Mitch "it doesn't need to get that bad to ask for help".

Inspired by the book 'Why has nobody told me this before' by Dr Julie Smith, Louisa delves into the idea of how we can life a life that is meaningful to us.
This is about working out what matters to you and how you can incorporate your values into your everyday life. It's another way to nurture your mental health and is a useful subject to ponder especially when you think about your goals in life.

To begin with in sobriety, you are focussed on what you're not doing... as in not drinking. A happy, healthy sobriety then comes from turning that attention to other things, to building your sober identity. By creating a strong identity as someone who doesn't drink, should you have any cravings further down the line, you'll be giving up too much to go back to alcohol which is an empowering place to be.

Sleep... important, health giving and yet it can so often elude us especially in early sobriety. For some they plunge into the depths of sober sleep easily and for others they struggle more without their nightcap to send them off into the land of nod. The thing is, although alcohol may have given the impression it's helping with sleep, it really isn't. Louisa looks at other ways you can help yourself fall to sleep and stay asleep without the artificial aid of a drink.

Social anxiety is really common, the over focus on what others are thinking of you especially in social situations and when you remove alcohol this can be something that some people need support with.
In this episode, Louisa takes you through an exercise that she uses with clients to help with this kind of anxiety to bring your focus back off you and into the room so that you feel more calm. You don't have to suffer from this to benefit as this over focus on our own internal reactions in situations is often what causes discomfort, even if that is mild. So, if you fancy it, make sure you're listening somewhere you son't be disturbed and enjoy.

There is no denying that sobriety can change some of your relationships and friendships so in this episode Louisa has researched and talked to the sober community to find out how they found their sober tribe and shares their responses.
The biggest message of all is to google events near you and not to do it alone because you won't be alone in how you feel about alcohol.

Another difficult subject to cover but it needs to be talked about because slips can be so demoralising if they happen. Louisa's start to sobriety wasn't a smooth one and that's something that she is very open about. There were a few false starts before sobriety stuck for her. In this episode, she looks into how to pick yourself back up if you have had a slip so that it doesn't mark the end of your want to go sober.
Disclaimer: although this series hasn't been designed for dependant drinkers, relapses and slips can be fatal if you have a physical alcohol dependancy. Please seek medical support if you suspect you have a physical reliance on alcohol and seek help if you are struggling.

In this episode. Louisa is joined by Rich who found that when he went sober he had to make some pretty radical adjustments to his life.

Moderation is a controversial subject but it needs to be discussed. For some, Dry Jan is very much about taking a break from alcohol, they aren't alcohol dependant and they want to reintroduce it in a more moderate way once the month is over. For others, moderation is not possible and so in this episode Louisa explores the reasons why she's decided that moderation just isn't for her and looks at why alcohol seems to be so difficult to limit or apply rules to. Why is it so hard to just have one or two and why does consumption seem to creep out of control over time?
