Description
Meet the woman who makes sobriety cool: this week’s guest is Millie Gooch, founder of the Sober Girl Society. Millie gave up drinking alcohol in 2018, and never looked back. I’m all about glamorising a good cause (hello – positive alone time!) and this is exactly what Millie does with her platform, showing that a sober life is not a lesser life: it can often by much the opposite. During this conversation, we talk about how quitting alcohol allowed Millie to learn to process her emotions, and to pursue hobbies and interests alone – particularly during those hangover-free mornings. Millie also speaks openly about the crippling effects of hangaxiety (part of the reason she gave up alcohol in the first place) and the initial loneliness that can come with being the ‘odd one out’ that doesn’t drink. I found this to be such a valuable chat and I can bet you will too – whatever your relationship with alcohol. Millie Gooch’s book, The Sober Girl Handbook, discussed in this episode, is available to order now.*My book, Alonement: How to be alone and absolutely own it, is available to order on Amazon, Waterstones, Bookshop.org and all good booksellers.*Instagram: @alonementofficial @chezspecter @milliegooch @sobergirlsocietyTwitter: @ChezSpecter @milliegooch Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.
