The Sober Rebel — Alternative Health
The Sober Rebel

Some people think that being sober is boring, they may even think that if you have to go alcohol free you’ve somehow drawn the short straw in life.

But what if it isn’t anything like that? What if it’s the best thing you could ever do to level up your relationships, your mental and physical health or even your life?

In this podcast Louisa talks to her fabulous sober guests about the joys of the sober life, the fun things they’ve noticed and the amazing things they’ve tried or done since ditching the booze that they’d never have done as a drinker.

These aren’t stories about how people got sober… they’re stories about why they enjoy staying sober.

January Series 2024 | What are thinking errors? | Day 14 Jan 14, 2024

Show notes

Thinking errors happen when your thoughts and reality don’t match up, often without you even realising. We all do it to one extent or another. They’re basically faulty patterns of thinking that are self-defeating, meaning it’s possible to get caught in a loop of negative thinking that can end up becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy. In this episode Louisa talks through the different thinking errors and begins the process of helping you understand how you can overcome them.

This is a longer episode as it's quite a hefty subject but once you get into the habit of identifying and challenging your own thinking errors it will help you.

Leanne | Being Organised, Feeling Energised and Overcoming Panic Attacks Jan 09, 2024

Show notes

Join Louisa as she talks to Leanne about how alcohol creeped into her life over a long time period and the three main benefits she's now found since going sober.

Leanne suffered from panic attacks in the past and to the outside world looked like an incredibly moderate drinker didn't like the feeling of being drunk. As an ODP working in a hospital, she was used to dealing with the effects of alcohol and it didn't make a difference until one day she said enough was enough and the changes she's experienced are phenomenal.
