It’s Time To Live a Sober Powered Life

“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!!” -Dana

“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” -NM

Why Living a Sober Powered Life?

Small Meetings

Our meetings are small (~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 and participate in the chat.

Shame-Free Zone

While slips are obviously not encouraged, you are safe to share about it here without worrying about getting tough love in return. No matter what you’re going through, someone else can understand you. You are not alone. Perfect sobriety is not required.

True Accountability

Our community is small enough that you will get to know others and they will get to know you. We want you to remember we care about you when cravings or the fk its hit! Some of our members don’t drink because they don’t want to tell us about it!

Private and Safe

Connect from the privacy of your phone or use your computer if you’d prefer. It’s up to you. You can stay completely anonymous in the community if that helps you feel more comfortable.

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! 😂😂😂” - Diane

Spaces based on your interests.

Join or leave spaces depending on what you need. If day one posts trigger you, then don’t join that space and you’ll never see them!

What’s the Community Like?

See the full schedule for the month below. Our meetings are normally ~10-20 people

“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.” -MB

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

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.

“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.”

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."

    -Stacy

  • "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."

    -Lori

  • “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.”

    -Hal

  • “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!”

    -Liz H.

  • "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."

    -C.R.

  • "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."

    -Anonymous

  • "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. "

    -JA

  • "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."

    -JA

  • “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!”

    -Cynthia H

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

    -MB

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

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 80’s. Whatever your age is, you will find others in the group like you.

  • Who's running these meetings?

    If you look at the schedule above, I run all the meetings except the ones in blue. Meetings in blue are run by either Laura from @yoursoberpal, RJ from @untappedkeg, or one of our community members.

  • How big are the meetings?

    We typically have 10-20 people in our meetings. The community will be closed when we reach a certain amount of ultimate members, and reopened again when there are spaces available.

  • Can I stay anonymous?

    Absolutely. Circle allows you to customize your own profile. Feel free to use a screenname and whatever profile image you’d like (we love pets here). You can attend meetings with your camera off too if that helps you feel more comfortable.

  • 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. Adding the premium podcast to your podcasting app is done with 1 click from your sign up email. I have a comprehensive FAQ doc in the community explaining everything too

  • Where does the money go?

    This membership allowed me to hire some help! I have an assistant and I’ve hired a scientific consultant to help me with research for my podcast. Getting help has greatly reduced my stress levels, so thank you!

  • 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. I make short podcast episodes on a members-only feed when questions come in. There’s a form to submit your questions. I also release monthly brain booster which can feel similar to my podcast.

  • 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.
