    Sober Powered: The Neuroscience of Being Sober

    Why do some people stay sober and others relapse back and forth? Getting sober isn’t about restriction, it’s about rewiring your brain to function without intensity, chaos, dopamine spikes, and avoidance.

    Hosted by Gill Tietz, a former biochemist turned sober coach, this show dives into the neuroscience of long-term sobriety — why some people relapse, why others stay free, and how to build the kind of brain that can handle life without alcohol.

    Each episode blends science, psychology, and real experience to help you strengthen the four pillars of neuro-resilience:

    1. Neural Recovery – healing your brain’s reward and stress systems after alcohol.

    2. Emotional Regulation – calming reactivity and learning to feel without escaping.

    3. Cognitive Rewiring – changing the thought patterns that pull you backward.

    4. Behavioral Integration – designing routines and habits that make being sober your default.

    Whether you’re newly sober or years in, you’ll learn research-backed tools and mindset shifts so sobriety stops feeling like something you’re trying to want and starts feeling like who you are.

    This is hard work. If you want my support, then check out my online sober community or my 1:1 work.

    E2: Alcohol Cravings. Why does our brain tell us to drink? Jul 03, 2020
    Show notes

    Gill discusses the areas in the brain that light up when we crave alcohol. She talks about how we condition our brains to want alcohol, and how this shows up as intense cravings when we try to quit. She explains three scientific studies that show how the brain is affected by cravings, how intense cravings put us at risk for relapse, and the improvements seen with treatment and sobriety. Gill ends the episode by talking about her own experiences with alcohol cravings and the work she has done to reduce them.

    E1: Introduction and How Alcohol Causes Anxiety Jun 25, 2020
    Show notes

    Welcome to the first episode of the Sober Powered Podcast! Gill discusses why she began this project and why you don't need to hit society's version of rock bottom to quit drinking. Like many, Gill lived in denial about her drinking, telling herself she's not that bad because she doesn't fit the general idea of what an alcoholic looks like. She explains how her anxiety was a major contributor to embracing a sober life and a bit about the brain chemistry changes that occur when we abuse alcohol.


    For more information about alcohol and anxiety, check out episode 22: why you think alcohol helps your anxiety.
