Welcome to the first episode of the Sober Powered Podcast!  Gill discusses why she began this project and why you don't need to hit society's version of rock bottom to quit drinking.  Like many, Gill lived in denial about her drinking, telling herself she's not that bad because she doesn't fit the general idea of what an alcoholic looks like.  She explains how her anxiety was a major contributor to embracing a sober life and a bit about the brain chemistry changes that occur when we abuse alcohol.

For more information about alcohol and anxiety, check out episode 22: why you think alcohol helps your anxiety.
