Michelle is just about to celebrate 1 year of sobriety in the New Year and is over the moon at the positive changes she's experienced over that time. What's absolutely fascinating is the reduction in her perimenopause symptoms not that she isn't drinking alcohol but also how her relationships have been strengthened.
As a weekend drinker, Michelle didn't quite expect the changes she experienced and how much her mood was impacted 24/7 and not just when she was drinking alcohol.

Hearing his son say "Dad, I need you" spurred Alex into recovery and became his 'why'. From heavy drinking in his younger years through to the grips of addiction, Alex admits he turned to alcohol in order to avoid connection and dealing with difficulties in life so when he was faced with potentially losing his sight, he only knew one way to cope and that was to drink to zone out. Fast forward to today and he's just celebrated two years sobriety, volunteers at his local gym and runs 'Club Claritee' to show people you can still have fun and attend brilliant events sober.

In the past Hadley was known as the fitness coach who 'loved her wine' and so when she decided to go sober she really had to rethink her identity. She went from an enthusiastic social drinker most of her life to being a published author of 'The Dirty Truth On Social Drinking' and sobriety hype girl.
In this conversation Hadley talks about being a sober parent, on how her mental health has improved in sobriety and also how she now feels more able to embrace the fact she is really an introvert... it's a must listen.

This is an amazing conversation with Sam who has completely turned his mindset and attitude around in going sober. His path to sobriety wasn't straightforward, but when is it ever for anyone?
He talks of how connection was vital for his sobriety to have firm foundations, how he decided to throw himself into the north sea every day for a year (and where that led him) and also his exciting plans for the future.
It's an episode full of emotion and also of great advice from someone who really has been there.

Diane has just celebrated 6 months of sobriety after a 'stop/start' relationship with alcohol and by her own confession not feeling that she had an off switch. She didn't have a rock bottom moment, she'd just had enough and felt it was time to retire from drinking.
What she's discovered in sobriety is improved mental and physical health, she's completely shifted her mindset around alcohol and doesn't feel like she is missing anything at all.

Feeling tired of the daily 'detox to retox' loop that Meg found herself in with alcohol, she decided to do something about it but it wasn't an instant fix as you'll hear in this episode. Along the way she uncovered so many intoxicating lies about alcohol that she even went on to write a book about it.
Now she is nearly 5 years sober and embraces how connected she feels in sobriety, how she is now listening to her intuition and has found a way to really be okay with the peace that surrounds her rather than the hustle and grind she used to know.

From running around a car park to try to clear his head in early recovery outside the treatment facility and in his words 'hating every second of it' to now holding regular runners and fitness meet ups in the local community for anyone to join in... Ste's story really does demonstrate how many unexpected doors open in sobriety.
Embracing happiness, feeling proud and making so many new memories are Ste's three benefits alongside so many other things that are discussed in this interview.

In this conversation with Nik, it's really clear how one path to sobriety is not the same as the next. Nik's route to finding the sober life wasn't a straight forward one, as it often isn't, but he attributes it to changing so many areas of his life and also to how he approaches things.
From having more time to get things done, feeling more authentic and more connected with his loved ones as well as facing things head on and not avoiding them. He is thoroughly enjoying what being clear headed and present is bringing to his life.

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 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".

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.
