Sober Powered: The Neuroscience of Being Sober
Gillian Tietz, MS, CPRCBeing sober isn't a punishment. Sober life is not a last resort for weak-willed losers who aren't strong enough to figure it out. You can be sober without feeling deprived or left out. Millions of people wake up with another hangover and Google, "how do I know if I'm an alcoholic?". We get stuck on the label and the stigma, when instead we should be asking ourselves, "is alcohol making me miserabl... more

One of the first things I learned about drinking was that when adults are stressed, they drink, and the stress goes away. As a high stress person, it made perfect sense to me to start drinking every day to manage my stress. This is coping drinking in... more

- Super helpful
I have been on a journey to change my drinking habit for a few years now. I have listened to many good podcasts on the subject. I love Sober Powered because Gill presents the science behind behaviour and alcohol in such an understandable way. The episodes are a perfect length. And I don’t find them shaming at all just very informative. She is who I listen to when I need to remind myself of my why.

I have been sober for 3 years but I still have so many questions. I want to know everything about what happened to me and how non alcoholics experience alcohol. This podcast is wonderful to answer so many questions! My sobriety is even stronger and some of the things Gill says are so meaningful to me and I can relate 100%

I have learned so much from Gill. This is definitely one of the best podcasts that deals with alcoholism and the science behind it.
Her professional, chemistry/science background takes this to another level of sophistication and fascination.
I’ve turned many fellow A.A. Members onto this podcast.
Thanks Gill for all you do🙏🏼👏🏼👍🏼✌🏼🤘🏼🙌🏼
