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.

Will on Living Life, Self Awareness and Reclaimed Mornings Apr 22, 2025

Show notes

In this episode Will shares how quitting alcohol has positively impacted his life even though he didn't really feel his drinking was a problem, he felt it could have headed that way when he found himself reaching for a beer because he 'needed' it. What's amazing about this conversation is how it highlights that you don't need to wait until alcohol is a problem before walking away from it and that spotting those initial signs of it not being good for you or becoming too much of a habit is a really good idea. Will shares how he has reclaimed his mornings and how his daily routine and journaling practice really supports his mental health.

Show notes

In this conversation Sam talks about being a serial 'day oner' and how she'd known for many years that her drinking was something she wanted to do something about, even though she didn't drink every night and even had long sober stints. She didn't let not being a daily drinker stop her. In sobriety she has improved relationships, has rediscovered joy, has boosted her confidence and talks about how now she feels so much safer.
