The Sober Rebel
by Louisa Evans
Abbie on Self Confidence, Relationships and Getting Results
About this podcast
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.
