Where Sobriety Becomes a Lifestyle, Not Just Another Break

A community for men and women who have made the decision to quit drinking for good.

Because everyone here is committed to being sober, we can go beyond the quitting part. We focus on real-life strategies, emotional resilience, and the mindset shifts needed to make sobriety your way of life.

💥 Not a sober-curious space. Not a moderation group.
💥 Not a place for 30, 90, or 100 day challenges.

If you’ve taken breaks before, only to fall back into old patterns, this is where you go when you’re done with the cycle.

Be part of a community that’s committed, not just experimenting and collecting data.

Whether you’re newly committed or years into sobriety, this community helps you:
✅ Build a strong routine that supports your long-term sobriety.
✅ Develop real coping skills so stress, boredom, or emotions don’t throw you off.
✅ Create a lifestyle that aligns with who you want to be, not who you were when you drank.
✅ Prevent relapse by understanding why you drank

Sobriety gives you freedom. Now, let’s make the most of it.

“After almost 10 years of trying to get sober (through therapy, in other communities), I decided to try the Sober Powered community while listening to Gill Tietz’s same named podcast. The community is a great fit for me. Real people sharing their wins and struggles, lifting others up, and just plain having fun. Oh yes! Can you believe it?! You can have fun in sobriety! In my more than 1 year of sobriety with this community, I developed a real bond with many of the members, and we share lots of laughs.

You just have to accept that alcohol will never be part of your life again, but seriously, haven’t we had enough for several lifetimes? You get to a point in sobriety where you realize, THIS is the good life! Not the booze, not the bad sleep, nor the other bad habits. This community has helped me work through shame that was once inhibiting me from living to the fullest. It’s work for sure, but so rewarding! It’s a community of really beautiful people. If you’re done with drinking, check out this community. Real living awaits you.”

Why Living a Sober Powered Life?

Small Meetings

Our meetings are small (~8-30 people) so everyone who wants to share has the opportunity to. Don’t want to share? No problem! You are welcome to leave your camera off until you are ready.

No Tough Love

We do not do tough love here (unless you want it)

True Accountability and Support

Our motto is “support others and they will support you” We want you to remember we care about you when cravings, thoughts of being cured, or the fk its hit! Some of our members don’t drink because they don’t want to tell us about it!

Extra Small Groups

We have even smaller meetings (4-15 people) for: under 90 days, 2-6 months, over 6 months, over 1 year, men’s only, women’s only. See our current schedule below.

Under 90 Days Group and 2-6 Months Group

We have weekly meetings only for people under 90 days and a private space for posts. People who are below 6 months are welcome to attend these meetings.

6 Month + Group and 1 Year + Group

We have weekly meetings for people over 6 months and a private space for posts. These groups focus on “the work”, thoughts of trying to moderate, and it’s a safe place to be honest without worrying about discouraging newbies.

“I have been checking in A LOT on the app because I am really feeling great - I've never heard my own thoughts and actions reflected by others and it's had my jaw on the floor more then once. THANK YOU!!”

“Second meeting tonight and I am so grateful for this community you built. This is what I have been missing and looking for. Thank you”

“Having cheerleaders and coaches in my pocket has been awesome. I've been able to start hard conversations in real life that I've needed to address for years because I finally have peeps who will give me positive support on a daily. Any time I've posted an activity or something positive that I've done, there is someone there to pat me on the back which helps reinforce that what I did was good and that I need to do it again.”

Here’s our meeting schedule

Our meetings are not about telling stories about our drinking days or talking about how grateful we are now. We focus exclusively on doing “the work”. This means we are talking mindset shifts, coping skills, breaking down unhelpful believes, shifting our identity, stress management, and more.

The Real Inner Work is Done in Our Meetings

“Mindset shifts have been that I'm worthy of love, so many people struggle with the same social awkardness that I do, so many women over-function in their relationships like I do, and I'm not perfect and that's ok.”

How Living a Sober Powered Life is Different Than Other Sober Online Communities

Data Points: in other groups you’ll hear “oh it’s just a data point. Onward!”. You won’t hear that in this community. You’ve collected enough data points to last several life times. Instead, we dig into the why and we get honest. Minimizing and ignoring the truth doesn’t help us change.

No Inspo or Influencers: everyone is doing their “work” in this group. You won’t find any teaching/inspo posts in here. While we do have fun and have some great inside jokes, this is the place to go when you want to be around people who are real, honest, and brave.

Everyone Wants Sobriety: this is not the group you join if you’re on a moderation journey or if you’re trying to want to want sobriety enough. While day 1s are unavoidable in any group, this is where you go when you’re truly committed, not when you’re secretly hoping to drink without the consequences. Because of this, you will find a level of seriousness here that you will not see in any other group.

“This Community + Podcast = Success. The two go hand in hand.”

“There was the great podcast about realizing we are the common denominators in our 'difficult situations'... you might say that one could have learned from that just by listening to Gill's podcast but actually, it was a much deeper experience having to-and-fro about it later within Circle.”

“I'm very introverted in person, I have a super hard time making friends, and I don't really have friends that I regularly engage with. So, I can sometimes feel like I'm not a valued part of a group, or if I wasn't there, it wouldn't matter. But in this group, I do feel at home. I do feel like I personally know a few people. I have connected a bit with specific people on the individual messaging, so that's a great space and feature of this group, too. My aha moment is that no one gets us like others who are struggling through the same thing. In meetings there are so many head nods, wiping of tears, writing "same" in the comments, etc. We are not alone!”

Find True Connection and Support While You Get Sober and Do “The Work”

“I’ve cruised a handful of other AF group meetings over the past 8 months (as I’m sure a lot of us have) and the ones with Sober Powered are special to me because of:

+ Host/moderator quality! Wow!

+ Helpful themes/conversation topics

+ Participants being respectful: not interrupting, being conscious of how long their share is and frequency

+ Keeping the content focused on AF journeys, with the occasional other share

+ Vulnerability and honesty level

+ Humor!

+ Positivity, without being toxic/false positivity

and more.

I know there are all kinds of groups and ways to run them, but SP seems extra unique and of high quality to me.”

Living a Sober Powered Life has been recognized by Circle (the platform we host our community is on) as a Platinum Community. This means that we are in the top 10% of most engaged communities on Circle. People stay longer, remain active in the community, have conversations in the DMs, and attend more meetings than in most communities. This won’t be another group that you’ll join and ghost. We want to help you integrate into the group and become a cherished part of the community.

Join Us at Your Own Risk… We May Even Support You in Your Dreams!

“This community is really having an impact on me. I had a drinking dream for the 1st time last night. I had a glass of wine in my hand and I was so close to giving in so I reached for my phone to post about it on the circle because I knew you guys could talk me out of it. Thanks! 😂😂😂”

You’ve tried it on your own. How about trying something different?

“I *never* thought I would be the type to join a sober community or go to meetings. I thought the advice you see in quit lit and other sobriety content out there that it's absolutely necessary to find community and connection...I firmly believed it didn't apply to me and I was fine doing it alone. I was almost a year and a half sober before I joined this community and I so badly wish I had joined sooner. I'm surprised but so grateful that I immediately felt so connected to this community and the connection continues to grow. I've been a member of Living a Sober Powered Life for almost 6 months now and the group meetings are a pillar of my sobriety.”

Meet Your Meeting Hosts

  • Gill

    I got sober in 2019 and host the Sober Powered Podcast. I love deadlifting, metal music, and videogames (currently obsessed with Elden Ring and can’t wait to play Nightreign)

  • Kristy

    I'm a Grey-Area Drinking Recovery Coach and Mother Wound Mentor. I quit drinking in 2019 and started helping others do the same in 2021 after taking my recovery coach training from the Connecticut Community for Addictions and Recovery training program.

What the community is saying

  • "Speaking with you and having you be a "live" member in the support group is HUGE. It shows that we are all in the same boat. To be able to speak with you direct has been so important to my journey."

  • "It’s been really easy to figure it out and get involved immediately. I like the new member welcome. I like writing to members on the side. It’s important to me to have close conversations and connections. That is what I did not like about instagram. Nobody ever reached out to me to establish a sober friendship connection. I did but it was not reciprocated and I really need that."

  • “It’s exceeded my expectations. Gill’s references on her podcast to the community aren’t “shameless plugs” to buy a membership; instead, they are an open invitation to join a group in which she dutifully wears both the leader and member hats. In short, she gives far more than she takes in the community and the group’s collective fingerprints are all over the success I’ve had thus far. Joining is the best decision you can make if you really want to change your life for the better.”

  • “This online community is so incredibly supportive of each other. I have a couple other apps/online groups but this one really is tremendous & a great opportunity for people to be vulnerable & share their wins. Thank you!”

  • "This community has helped me practice processing through things I'm struggling with and being vulnerable. Having the opportunity to talk through things and bounce ideas around, hear other people's experiences and perspectives...all of this I believe has helped me show up better in existing relationships with friends and my partner because I have been able to practice communication and sharing my thoughts and feelings in a safe space. My data-focused brain takes this as evidence that I'm capable of doing this things and it's not as scary as it seems to open up to people."

  • "I like that everyone there made a special effort to be there. Like with AA everyone is welcome and that’s nice, but it also brings in people who aren’t actually doing the work. Here I know everyone has committed to being there. There’s a level of seriousness about their recovery."

  • "Having a group of people on your same journey or a very similar journey is SO amazingly helpful. I have gone around the "mountain" more times than I can count. Why ? Well now due to this community and people sharing, I found out that I had no coping skills. I have also learned a number of coping skills for each situation. Prior to last night I had NO IDEA how much people pleasing I was doing. Last night completely reframed this phrase for me. I have had slips because people were like "OH please try this concoction I made; OH please just have one at dinner....."and on and on. "

  • "People are there to cheer you on, help you to cope with all the feelings and situations, nobody is judgey when you go around the mountain 3300 times. If I have felt a little weird about sharing something super personal there are people that you can privately message and say "hey this happened, what do you think" and I have NEVER had someone NOT help me through the thing, whatever that thing is. Including GILL ! If you are looking for community, this one is HIGHLY recommended. This is not the first one I tried, but I am so glad I did it."

  • “Joining this community has been an absolute game changer for me. I've tried to quit drinking for many years, but I tried to do it alone. I was always ashamed and embarrassed to talk about my struggles. I thought people would think less of me. This community is the most supportive group of people I've ever met. Zero judgement, zero guilt. Gill has created a safe place for us to share our stories, our wins and our journey. You can also just listen and absorb if you aren't comfortable speaking. We lean on each other when we need support and/or encouragement. I feel seen and heard and understood. I don't feel alone anymore. We aren't meant to do this alone. I'm feeling more optimistic than I have in a very long time and I know it's because I am connected to this community. Thank you, Gill!”

  • “You need to connect to stop swirling around the alcohol toilet bowl. Gill has created something very special here!”

  • "This community just keeps getting better and better for me. The real connection and all the tools and ideas on sobriety are KEY for me. I would not be this far along without this community and the connections and people that make you feel VALUED.”

  • “I appreciate your help getting sober. It worked! I’m happy and alcohol free thanks to you!”

  • “After I joined the community, I’ve embarked upon my longest sober streak in years. I really appreciated the accountability of posting in the under 30 days group, the motivation of leaving the under 30 group, and I take inspiration from reading other peoples’ experiences, joys, setbacks, and advice. This group has really given me hope that I’m done with alcohol for good.”

FAQS

  • Is this membership just for women?

    Nope! This is for everyone. My audience is about 75% women and the membership reflects that split. Some of my most active members are men, and there are men in our meetings.

  • Is everyone really young?

    We have had members in their 20’s all the way up to members in their 70’s. Whatever your age is, you will find others in the group like you.

  • How present is Gill?

    I am very present in the community and I host most of the meetings. This isn’t another community where the main person shows up once a week and you’re mostly working with other coaches.

  • What if I'm not very tech-savvy?

    Circle is pretty easy to navigate and can be done on your computer, on your phone via the internet, or inside an app on your phone. It looks similar to Facebook, so there isn’t a learning curve. I have a comprehensive FAQ doc in the community explaining everything too

  • Is this like your podcast?

    Yes and no. This is not group coaching and I do not lecture during these meetings. This is a support community. The under 30 days meeting end up being a hybrid between a support meeting and group coaching

  • What is your refund policy?

    I do not offer refunds, but you can easily cancel your membership at any time in Circle (where you sign up). Members are responsible for managing their subscriptions. There are no refunds for unused time or refunds for joining the community and changing your mind.

  • Is this for the Sober Curious?

    No. This community is for people who know they want to quit drinking and are looking for accountability, support, and feedback along the journey. This isnt a place to figure out if you want to quit or moderate. If you’re sober curious, please listen to my podcast.

  • I struggle with other substances/behaviors. Can I join?

    This community is for people who’s primary issue is with alcohol. While we do have members that struggle with multiple things, you must be working on quitting drinking to join.
