Sober Powered: The Neuroscience of Being SoberAuthor: Gillian Tietz, MS, CPRC
Why do some people stay sober and others relapse back and forth? Getting sober isnt about restriction, its about rewiring your brain to function without intensity, chaos, dopamine spikes, and avoidance. Hosted by Gill Tietz, a former biochemist turned sober coach, this show dives into the neuroscience of long-term sobriety why some people relapse, why others stay free, and how to build the kind of brain that can handle life without alcohol. Each episode blends science, psychology, and real experience to help you strengthen the four pillars of neuro-resilience: 1. Neural Recovery healing your brains reward and stress systems after alcohol. 2. Emotional Regulation calming reactivity and learning to feel without escaping. 3. Cognitive Rewiring changing the thought patterns that pull you backward. 4. Behavioral Integration designing routines and habits that make being sober your default. Whether youre newly sober or years in, youll learn research-backed tools and mindset shifts so sobriety stops feeling like something youre trying to want and starts feeling like who you are.

E329: What Dabbling Looked Like For Me
Episode 329
Friday, 31 July, 2026
Story time. In the last episode, I talked about the difference between dabbling in sobriety and actually committing to it. In the next episode, I’m going to talk more about what it looks like to stop dabbling and start doing the work. But before we get there, I want to tell you a story from when I was sober curious, because this is one of the clearest examples I have of thinking I was committed when I was actually dabbling so you can have an example of what I’m talking about in this dabbling series.
