Sober Powered: The Neuroscience of Being Sober
Being sober isn't a punishment. Sober life is not a last resort for weak-willed losers who aren't strong enough to figure it out. You can be sober without feeling deprived or left out. Millions of people wake up with another hangover and Google, "how do I know if I'm an alcoholic?". We get stuck on the label and the stigma, when instead we should be asking ourselves, "is alcohol making me miserable?" and "would I be happier if I quit drinking?" In the Sober Powered Podcast, Gill, a former biochemist turned sober coach, walks you through the latest research on alcohol use disorder using her own sober story as a case study along the way. The science of how alcohol affects the brain can help you depersonalize your drinking experience so you can finally say goodbye to your hopes and dreams of moderating someday (because you clearly can't moderate!). Getting sober doesn't mean you are a weak-willed loser with no self-control, it simply means you are a person who can't drink. Your brain loves it too much and you are too hardcore. Each episode features in depth explanations of what is going on in the brain along with the tools and mindset shifts that Gill works on with her clients to help them accept being sober, let go of shame, and learn the coping skills required to manage stress and emotions sober -in the hopes of helping you do the same.

I really love this podcast. Other sobriety podcasts are more story focused, which is great, but this one provides much needed information that is well informed and researched. It has really helped me on my sobriety journey.
So much useful information!

I’ve recommended this podcast to friends. When I finally admitted or knew I was in the midst of alcohol addiction I wanted to know everything about it. And this podcast was a big (the biggest!) part of my learning about what alcohol was doing to my brain. It helped me understand things from a physiological perspective. For me, this podcast has been the single most helpful resource to aid in my understanding of alcoholism and the brain. Thank you, Gill, for your service.
