Having more energy. Less anxiety. Looking better. Feeling proud of yourself.


Those are some of the big benefits. But you know what? Sometimes, it’s the little things that matter just as much. I’m talking about the super specific stuff – the mini moments that maybe only you would even notice. This episode is all about the tiny, silly and magical moments that make sobriety awesome!

I’ve got a great tip to help you get round all these situations, but I nearly didn’t share it with you in case you think it’s boring! But the thing is, it also really works… and that's what this episode is all about.

Brad Pitt is drinking again, after seven years sober. And this time, he says he’s doing it “moderately”.


Cue a whole wave of reactions, with some people cheering him on… and others feeling worried, unsettled and even triggered by the whole thing. 


I spent a few days going through everything he said about his sobriety in the past (he used to be pretty effusive about it) vs what he’s saying now…


The result is this podcast episode. In it, I’ve got 3 questions for Brad Pitt - and an important one for you too!

You start thinking about opening a bottle of wine (or perhaps you’re already staring into an empty glass, wondering whether to have another...)


You’re distracted… so you don’t notice that a robbery is taking place.


Alcohol is quietly stealing genuine joy from you… but you might not even realise you’ve been robbed until much later on, because initially everything seems fine. But alcohol is a wolf in sheep's clothing, as I explain in this week's video.

They can’t imagine skipping cocktails by the pool or saying no to wine with their evening meal. When you’re feeling this way, it’s so easy to talk yourself into giving up on your sober goals (or sticking them on the back burner for a while).


I want to help you reframe the fear of missing out and see things in a different light. That's what this episode is all about.

I didn’t think I actually was an alcoholic, but my drinking certainly didn’t feel “normal”. I was stuck, not finding anything that described me or what to do next. 


Fast forward to today and an awful lot has changed. 


Not only am I happily sober, but my thoughts on the whole “alcoholic” label are a lot clearer. I wanted to share them here, in case you’re feeling as confused as I was.
