Gillian Tietz, MS, CPRCWhy do some people stay sober and others relapse back and forth?

- Beth
This is my go-to podcast for information about alcohol. Every episode is carefully researched and elegantly presented. Also, Gill is warm, wry, funny and likable. No other alcohol podcast presents this amount of pertinent scientific information and no other is as well written. I’m so grateful Sober Powered exists.

Apple Podcasts5Elizabeth. PerlmanUnited States2 months ago - Excellent. Thank you.
The content is excellent. Thank you for sharing your research, knowledge, and experience. I’ve been on and off alcohol for forty years; even have a couple of 18 months sober “sprees” and a couple trips to rehab. I feel encouraged by you that there’s hope for me yet. Most of all, thank you for your excellent delivery. Some otherwise great advice I don’t hear because the speaker constantly uses filler words,“Right?” Thanks again. 🙂

My all-time favorite! Gill continues to inform and inspire after 5 years of creating/hosting this podcast. I have listened to all the episodes more than once, and each one teaches something important about how to build and navigate a sober life.
