We're delighted to finally say that in this episode we welcome the wonderful Millie Gooch on to the podcast! Millie is based in Kent and quit drinking in her 20s following her first few years working as a journalist.

Today we focus on dating through sobriety, importance (or lack thereof) of labels when it comes to your relationship with alcohol, the importance of your intention with your drinking, and how Millie built an international community on accident. You can find Millie at: Insta: @milliegoochTikTok: @milliegoochUKand Sober Girl Society at: Insta: @sobergirlsociety https://sobergirlsociety.com/And Millie's new book wherever you find your books! 

When you're drinking, surrounded by your drinking buddies, and having a good time, it's hard to imagine what life would be like when you're sober. Would those drinking buddies understand that the good time can quickly escalate into chaos? Would they still want to hang out if you took a break from drinking? If you're newly sober, will you be able to make new friends who understand your life choices?These are all questions we've all asked ourselves if we've tackled problem drinking. Even those in long-term sobriety, like our founder Laura and friend of Club Soda, Millie Gooch from Sober Girl Society, have had to face up to the anxiety of change within their social setting. This week's podcast episode is a throwback to our Q&A with Millie from last year's Mindful Drinking Festival where our resident extrovert Laura and a formerly anxious Millenial Millie discuss making friends when you're sober.Our podcast is available on all your favourite podcasting platforms, like Apple, Google, and Spotify.

Today we chat with founder of Sober Girl Society and author of the Sober Girl Society Handbook, Millie Gooch! We focus on Millie's transition to sobriety in her mid 20s, how you don't need to hit rock bottom to ditch alcohol and how her relationships (friendships, family, coworkers, dating) transformed through sobriety. 

In this weeks episode Natalie is joined by author and founder of The Sober Girl Society Millie Gooch to talk sober curiosity, the impact of alcohol within female friendship groups and fighting the stigma that sobriety equals boring. Reflecting on her own journey with alcohol Millie highlights the aggressive marketing used by drinks companies to lure young women into viewing alcohol consumption as a form of empowerment and that the 90's ladette culture of 'keeping up with the boys' in reality lead to a generation of women suffering with physical and mental health conditions due to developing unhealthy relationships with alcohol. Tune in as Millie talks about the moment she decided to walk away from alcohol and the catalyst that fuelled the hugely successful Sober Girl Society movement.

“Escapism is fine up until a point where it turns into avoidance.” One of the leading voices in sobriety Millie Gooch joins The Joyful Drinker to share her personal journey of quitting alcohol for good. Founder of the Sober Girls Society and the author behind the Sober Girls Society Handbook published in 2021, Millie's story is proof that life after alcohol doesn't have to be boring. From becoming entrenched in the boozy nightlife of student culture at University through to the normalised day-drinking of working in PR and journalism, Millie describes her break from the bottle and the biggest positive changes to her productivity, mental and physical health ever since. In this episode, Millie talks openly and honestly about the lows of getting blackout drunk and going to work hungover; and the positive reaffirming steps that she took to overcame the self-imposed stigma of not wanting to be seen as the boring sober one in her peer groups.

Alcohol misuse interferes with chemicals in the brain that are vital for good mental health. So while initially after a drink we might feel relaxed and less stressed, in the long run the damage from the misuse of alcohol is highly likely to contribute to feelings of depression, anxiety and later down the line, dementia.  Millie Gooch, founder of the Sober Girl Society, an online platform for sober, sober curious, and mindful drinkers and author of The Sober Girl Society Handbook joins host Gabby to share insight into living life sober free as a young adult. Millie dispels many of the myths and excuses that surround turning to, or turning away from, the hooch... including why we feel we need to bring booze into the bedroom!  Note, this episode is not trying to condemn or judge those who drink alcohol, but aims to encourage everyone to be a bit more mindful of the way they drink.

Straight up, I have a very scary and sad truth bomb. If you're an Australian aged between 24 and 44 your mental health and drugs/alcohol are the biggest mortality risks to you. Both of those are amplified if you're a man. I imagine the same is true of any developed Western country.  Yikes.  This episode isn't designed to scare you (I'm still very much a classic if somewhat occasional binge drinker, even after recording this episode) it's just a chat about alcohol, our relationship to alcohol, some facts about alcohol and maybe it might help empower you to cut back or quit if that's something you're toying with.  This week's guest is Millie Gooch from Sober Girl Society. Millie is from the UK and after spending her 20s as an actual black out drunk, a few years ago she got sober and is making it her mission to empower other people to give up the booze and get back their lives.  If you're interested in anything you heard about on today's show just click here for the show notes.  Like my stuff?

In June 2019 I decided to see what would happen if I stopped drinking alcohol for a while. Nearly two years later and I'm still going. After a lot of reflection, I realised that the timing of this decision has been life-changing. I believe I was in the position that so many people may find themselves in.  This grey area before 'needing AA or battling severe addictions problems ' while at the same time having a feeling that things could get worse and a hope that they will change. In this episode I share a bit of my story and why I think space ' Before AA ' is sacred.  10th - 16th May marks mental Health awareness week. If you or someone you know is struggling please know you are not alone.

Millie Gooch is the founder of Sober Girl Society, an online community which destigmatises sobriety, and brings women together who want to connect and have fun, without the booze. Millie quit drinking  in 2018 after experiencing one too many blackouts and the terrible accompanying ‘hanxiety', leading her to  read Catherine Gray's The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober, which kick-started her sober journey. We both talk about our relationship with alcohol, the scary situations its landed us in, and the contradiction of how many of us are so mindful about our health, yet ignore the fact that alcohol is a toxic substance.She opens up about how things were in the early days of sobriety, sober clubbing, and that smug feeling of feeling great when everyone else is worse for wear.We discuss how we both have used alcohol as ‘dutch courage' and she shares about how quitting forced her to step into her anxiety and sit with her discomfort.Millie talks about her book, which I found was an absolute breath of fresh air, and provided a really positive stance on why getting sober or becoming ‘sober curious' has myriad benefits and is an option definitely worth exploring. We speak about the narrative we've all been given around alcohol, thanks to its gigantic marketing budget to persuade us that drinking is the right option, the memes about gin o'clock, to the automatic assumption that any sort of celebration requires cracking open the bubbly.  Millie tells me about how, for her, sober dating has been such a positive experience and also about the events they run at the Sober Girl Society from dance classes to boozeless brunches. sobergirlsociety.com/@sobergirlsociety@sophieelwes

Lockdown and drinking go together like wine and cheese...or do they? Given the unusual situation we find ourselves in, perhaps it's not surprising that booze sales have rocketed. However Millie Gooch knows the problems with using alcohol as a coping mechanism only too well. After finding that her binge drinking was leaving her poleaxed by anxiety she gave it up, and started the Sober Girl Society, an online community of other teetotal women. I loved talking to her about that - as well as how she managed to write a book in lockdown, sober dating, peer pressure, anxiety management and more. She has some really great, practical advice - I hope you find it as interesting (and useful) as I did.

Like a lot of us Millie Gooch went from no partying to going full noise at university where the binge drinking culture is strong and the focus is to get as hammered as you can.Sick of feeling hungover and experiencing hang-xiety or beer fear, Millie had a light bulb moment after a break-up and decided to stop drinking. 7 months into her sobriety Millie founded Sober Girl Society. An online global community for other young people that don't drink connecting them with their sober sisters and now she hosts events in The UK.We're so lucky to have Millie share her story and advice on The Self-Love Club PodcastFind Millie: @milliegooch & @sobergirlsociety on Instagram Keep up with The Self-Love Club: follow @selfloveclubpodcast and @belcrawford on Instagram Find The Self-Love Club blogs and resources at belcrawford.com

The statistics seem to be on a constant upward trend: young Millennials are turning away from alcohol in vast numbers. To an older generation, it sounds almost impossible. How can you not drink in your twenties? Isn't that what your twenties are for?These ingrained ways of thinking, of course, are what fascinate us here on The Real Podcast. So this week, for our 12th episode, we sent Shani Higgs, one of the Real Kombucha team who recently gave up drinking for three months (you may have read her Sober Diaries on this blog), to meet Millie Gooch.Millie is a writer and speaker, and the founder of Sober Girl Society (website here), an ever-growing collective of young women who are fed up with living a hangxiety-fuelled life, their weekends drowned out by beer fear, under constant pressure to succumb to Wine O'Clock. And when we say "an ever-growing collective", we mean it. The Sober Girl Society currently boasts close to 60,000 Instagram followers.According to Millie, this new tribe is made up of young women, “People like me – busy lives, busy jobs, often working in media – who still wanted a social life but wanted to take alcohol out of the equation”. As our readers will know, this description is one that Shani has come to identify with wholeheartedly. So it made sense to give her the mic and get her talking.In the following podcast you'll hear Millie and Shani discuss everything from the emergence of the Sober Girl Society, how the growing Sober Curious Movement relates to Cancel Culture and Callout Culture, how to navigate the pitfalls of sober dating, and what's involved in "coming out" as a non-drinker. They also discuss something called the "Pink Cloud" and "the Pink Cloud Dispersal Phase", which is a level of non-drinking science we've so far not discovered!So, chatting to Millie Gooch about the rise of the Sober Girl Society over a glass of the finest non-alcoholic Prosecco alternative, here's Shani Higgs.
