    Over The Influence: The Alcohol Free Podcast

    Welcome to Over the Influence, the podcast where sobriety isn’t just a choice – it’s a celebration! Hosted by Sharon Hartley and Ben Anderson, both BBC professionals by day and passionate advocates for alcohol-free living by night, this is your go-to space for real, raw, and uplifting stories of what life looks like on the other side of alcohol.

    Each episode shines a light on inspiring, often hard-hitting journeys to sobriety. From personal struggles to incredible triumphs, we bring you heartfelt conversations with guests from all walks of life – whether they’re celebrities, experts, or everyday heroes. Their stories might trigger deep emotions, but they’ll also inspire hope, empowerment, and a renewed sense of what the human spirit can overcome.

    Whether you’re sober curious, walking your own path to sobriety, or simply looking for some inspiration, you’re in the right place. Let’s talk openly about the highs, the lows, and everything in between – and most importantly, let’s celebrate the joys of a vibrant, alcohol-free life together.

    Disclaimer: The views expressed in this podcast are those of the participants and not necessarily those of Over The Influence (OTI) Ltd. The information shared is for general purposes only and should not be taken as professional advice. If you are physically addicted to alcohol – or even think you might be – it’s essential you seek qualified medical advice from your doctor or other medical professional. Stopping drinking suddenly can be very dangerous and in some cases fatal. You can find links to support services on our website here.

    S3 Ep45: Charlie Martina & Joey Duckworth: Young & Sober Feb 07, 2022
    Show notes Welcome to the OTI Young & Sober Takeover!
    This episode is the start of something new for us... You will have heard from Charlie Martina before as she's appeared on a couple of episodes of Over The Influence, but this is the first time you're meeting the fabulous Joey Duckworth!
    We say the first time because for the rest of this year, Charlie and Joey will be taking over Over The Influence every last Monday of the month in their "Young & Sober" series!
    We know that thousands of people across the world download our podcast every week, and we want to give Charlie and Joey our platform to speak directly to younger people who want to change their relationship with alcohol.
    As they discuss in this conversation (and as we've talked about many times before in other episodes of this podcast), knowing that you're not alone and that other people like you are looking at their relationship with alcohol can be hugely helpful, so we are delighted to give Charlie and Joey this opportunity to share their stories in the hope that it inspires other young people to do the same thing.

    S3 Ep44: Sarah Hepola: Blackout Jan 31, 2022
    Show notes In this episode we chat to Sarah Hepola, the author of a book that helped all three of us in the early days of our sobriety, Blackout: Remembering The Things I Drank To Forget.
    We're Sharon, Freddie and Ben, three normal people who decided to give up alcohol to see how our lives would change. We're not medical experts but we are expert ex-drinkers, and our podcast brings people together who are on their own alcohol-free journeys by celebrating just how wonderful life without booze can be!
    Our conversation with Sarah is as honest as her book is - we talk about her experience of blackouts, but also blackouts in general and how society often jokes about them to cover up more painful emotions.
    Sarah is also incredibly honest about the early days of her alcohol free journey, because in many ways she didn't want to be sober and mourned her drinking days. She started writing Blackout when she was six months sober, as a way of keeping her motivated in her sobriety - but it wasn't long before sobriety itself, rather than the success that came with it, became the thing she cherished the most.
    To find out more about Sarah, find her on Instagram (@thesarahhepolaexperience) or on Twitter (@sarahhepola) - and don't forget to listen to her fabulous new podcast, America's Girls!

    S3 Ep43: Sammy Hall: Sober Circle Jan 24, 2022
    Show notes In this episode we chat to Sammy Hall, the wonderful founder of Sober Circle!
    We're Sharon, Freddie and Ben, three normal people who decided to give up alcohol to see how our lives would change. We're not medical experts but we are expert ex-drinkers, and our podcast brings people together who are on their own alcohol-free journeys by celebrating just how wonderful life without booze can be!
    Sober Circle started because Sammy wanted to find friends who were sober in her area. She was lucky to find her three sober best friends through Instagram, and wanted to help other people do the same thing. In this conversation she talks to us about how Sober Circle grew organically as a way of helping people to connect, and it's a lovely genuine story of someone who wants to spread positivity and joy.
    Sammy also talks to us about a connection she made through the dating app Tinder... She swiped right on a sober gentleman, they went for a lockdown date in the park, and now Sammy is pregnant with their first baby, due in June! The gentleman in question is the fabulous Stuart Cook who featured as a guest on the podcast in November, and we are absolutely over the moon for them.
    To find out more about Sammy and Sober Circle, have a look at her page on Instagram - @sober_circle.

    S3 Ep42: Chris Anthony: The Sober Exec Jan 17, 2022
    Show notes In this episode we chat to Chris Anthony, otherwise known as The Sober Exec!
    We're Sharon, Freddie and Ben, three normal people who decided to give up alcohol to see how our lives would change. We're not medical experts but we are expert ex-drinkers, and our podcast brings people together who are on their own alcohol-free journeys by celebrating just how wonderful life without booze can be!
    Chris has been sober for over 16 years, but spent 15 of those years feeling ashamed about his sobriety - why couldn't he drink like everyone else? It was through his work that he had a moment that changed his whole perspective on it, when a former Navy Seal gave him their thoughts on a huge milestone - oh, and Metallica obviously played their part too!
    Chris is now inspiring thousands of other people every day through his Instagram page - search for @TheSoberExec to see some of his favourite quotes about both sobriety but also life in general!

    S3 Ep41: The First Episode of 2022 Jan 10, 2022
    Show notes This is our first episode of 2022, and we're absolutely delighted to be back!
    We cannot wait to get chatting to our fabulous list of guests for this year - but before we do, we had a question from Jodie on Instagram on the 1st January who found Over The Influence because of our Dry January Special episode.
    She asked us which guest pod she should go back and listen to first, if we could just pick one... So we've spent an episode answering that question, looking back before we look ahead!
    We talk about which episodes resonated with us, and if you've been a listener for a while, we hope it gives you some good guidance on episodes to go and re-listen to - we really have been so lucky to speak to some incredible people.

    S3 Ep40: The OTI Dry January Special 2022 Dec 27, 2021
    Show notes This is our Dry January Special 2022, and we were delighted to be joined by Dr Richard Piper, the CEO of Alcohol Change UK, and OTI Community Member Danielle Cooper, who used Dry January as a way to kickstart her own alcohol-free journey.
    We talk about what Dry January is, why you should give it a go if you're sober curious, and what affect doing Dry January can have on your overall drinking habits for the rest of the year.
    Of course, the word connection comes up a lot in this chat!
    We think that 100 days is the magic number when it comes to giving sobriety a go - hitting triple figures is a great milestone, and it's enough of a break so that you can really start feeling the benefits of alcohol-free life.
    For those who want to give Dry January a go, but already have in their heads that they may want to carry on to hit the 100 days, we've got some special Zoom groups as part of our community for the first 3 and a bit months of next year.

    S3 Ep39: The OTI Christmas Special 2021 Dec 24, 2021
    Show notes This episode is a special one... We've been so lucky to talk to some incredible people this year on Over The Influence, and because it's Christmas we asked some of our favourite guests to send us a voice note with their top tips for enjoying an alcohol-free Christmas.
    Because that really is so important when it comes to an AF Christmas... It's not about surviving it, it's about enjoying every moment of it.
    We'd like to say a massive thank you to Clare Pooley, William Porter, Sober Dave, Susan Laurie, Dean McCullough, Craig Beck, Andy Ramage, Jenny Valentish, George Anderson, Abi Feltham, Delroy Bunny Pacer Taylor & Dawn Comolly, aka The Sober Fish, for their wonderful contributions.

    S3 Ep38: Charlie Martina: Sober Society Dec 20, 2021
    Show notes In this episode we chat to Charlie Martina, the sober student who's only the second person to have a second Over The Influence episode!
    We're Sharon, Freddie and Ben, three normal people who decided to give up alcohol to see how our lives would change. We're not medical experts but we are expert ex-drinkers, and our podcast brings people together who are on their own alcohol-free journeys by celebrating just how wonderful life without booze can be!
    We chat to Charlie about her latest project, Sober Soc! Charlie went alcohol-free nearly a year ago, and when she knew she was going back to university to do her Masters Degree, she was a bit nervous... How would she get on as a sober student, when alcohol is so ingrained in to student culture?
    As the President of Sober Society at her Students' Union, she is now spreading the message that it's OK to be alcohol-free or sober curious at university, even though it isn't the "normal" thing to do.
    Charlie is our Blog Curator at Over The Influence, and is doing a fantastic job of bringing together short bursts of sober written content from listener stories to columns (go and have a look at it here!) She also gives us an update on the book that she's been writing about being young and sober, and there's some very bloomin' exciting developments!

    S3 Ep37: Shaena Jasmat: An Indian Female Shouting Loudly About Sobriety Dec 13, 2021
    Show notes In this episode we chat to Shaena Jasmat (Shaena Kasey Jay on socials), an empowerment coach and Bee Sober ambassador who said in her email to us that she's the only Indian female that she's come across who's shouting loudly about alcohol addiction.
    We're Sharon, Freddie and Ben, three normal people who decided to give up alcohol to see how our lives would change. We're not medical experts but we are expert ex-drinkers, and our podcast brings people together who are on their own alcohol-free journeys by celebrating just how wonderful life without booze can be!
    We talk to Shaena about the Indian community and why it can be difficult to find support and help within that community when it comes to alcohol abuse, and Shaena gives her advice to those who may be in a similar situation to the one she found herself in before going sober nearly two years ago.
    We thank her so much for coming on to the podcast and being so open and honest with us, and we wish her absolutely every success for the future. If you want to connect with Shaena after hearing this episode, you can find her on Instagram - @shaena_kaseyjay

    S3 Ep36: A Moment of Reflection Dec 06, 2021
    Show notes In this episode we go back to where it all started... Sharon and Freddie have a moment to reflect on how far they've come as individuals when it comes to their own alcohol free journeys, but also about how far Over The Influence has come... All thanks to you, our wonderful listeners.
    Of course, with Christmas not too far away now, they also talk about their experiences of booze-free Christmas' and just how bloody wonderful they are. If you're new to AF life, or if you're sober curious and don't want to spend the holidays like you always have done half cut, then this episode is for you.
