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.

The subjects touched upon in this episode are wide ranging including what to put in your sober toolbox as we approach Christmas alongside some more sensitive topics.

Ian's openness and honesty is so inspiring as he talks about an eating disorder he developed later in life which he attributes to his unhealthy drinking habits and how he overcame it in sobriety.

His approach to life is now one of being more playful and he now looks for ways to help others so they don't struggle in the way he once did.

Duncan | Meditation, Presence and Gaining Control Nov 28, 2023

Show notes

Buckle up and settle down for a deep one today. Duncan is now in his second year of sobriety and has found so many benefits to his whole life but in particular to his inner world by quitting alcohol. From discovering a love of meditation through to tapping into a feeling of presence in order to calm and focus his mind.

You'd be mistaken for thinking that he's always enjoyed these practices as you listen but in fact, it's sobriety that unlocked them allowing him to control his thoughts and his inner peace... some may say the only things in life we can ever truly control.
