You’re thinking about it for a reason
If you just got here or you’ve only been with me on Instagram then I’d recommend starting with my podcast
If you want to keep in touch and learn how I live a sober, calm life (and how you can too!), then sign up for my weekly email. You can grab that in the link in my bio
Welcome or welcome back to my page!
I make the assumption that if you follow me you know my story, but many of you probably don’t!
Let me know if any questions come up, otherwise, enjoy one of the only pictures of me with long hair in existence haha
Also, my name is Gill like Jill, NOT Gil like Gilbert.
We’ve been huge fans of @sober.powered from the earliest days of Dray. The work Gill does to support people navigating sobriety changes lives.
So we could not be more excited to team up with Gill to host a Sober Powered social mixer at Dray in the South End on April 18th from 4-6pm. If you’re local or in town for Marathon weekend, we hope you can join us. It’s a chance to meet Gill, enjoy free NA tastings from Dray, and enjoy some awesome wellness prizes!
See you there.

Early sobriety fatigue is one of the most confusing parts of sobriety.
Not because it’s rare (it’s actually very common), but because people don’t understand what’s causing it.
If early sobriety feels harder than you expected, listen to the full episode to understand why. Comment 309 and I’ll send it to you.
Let me know if you have questions in the comments. I’ll help out if I can
Before we quit drinking for good we enter a long, frustrating process of wanting to want to quit. We want the misery to end, but we don’t want to do anything differently yet.
Based on what I’ve observed from clients and members, I think there are a few key steps in the process of moving from wanting to want to quit to actually being done:
Awareness = my misery is caused by my drinking
Acceptance = I can’t change the way I drink
Willingness = my way isn’t working. I’m open to listening and learning
All 3 of these are hard, but I think willingness is one difference between people who stay sober long term and those who eventually return to drinking.
Without willingness to do things differently we believe we’re different from other people, no one could understand us, what works for them won’t work for us, and that support is only for really bad drinkers or people who aren’t strong enough to do it alone, not people like us. This isolates us and prevents us from learning essential skills to stay sober.
If you’re looking to understand how to do the work after quitting drinking so sobriety becomes sustainable and not something you flip flop in and out of, then comment WORK and I’ll send you more information
It's been 9 days, why don't I feel better yet?
...wait, what??
I have heard this type of comment so many times. Think about how many years you spent drinking? It takes time to feel better
In early sobriety you could feel really tired, have bad sleep, struggle with acne, have night sweats, and more. Some people do feel better right away, but if you don't, it doesn't mean something is wrong
Part of sobriety is learning patience
Comment HEALTH and I'll send you my newest episode about the health benefits of your first month, and what to expect beyond a month.
Let me know if you have any questions too. I'll answer what I can

✨ Are you starting Dry January and hoping this time it actually sticks?
If you’ve tried before— made it a few days… maybe a couple weeks… and then found yourself right back where you started— you are not broken. And you are definitely not alone.
In this week’s Hello Someday Podcast, I sat down with two awesome sober friends — Gill Tietz (Sober Powered) and Suzanne Wayre (The Sober Mom Life) — to talk about how to do sobriety differently in 2026.
Not by willpower. Not by white-knuckling. And not by “just getting through 30 days.”
We talk about:
✔️Why most people quit Dry January around Day 9 (and how to plan for it)
✔️Why the first 30 days feel so hard — and why that’s not sobriety
✔️ Why “resetting” your drinking almost never works
✔️ What actually changes at 60, 90, and 100 days
✔️How to stop doing the hardest part over and over again
This is the conversation I wish I’d heard back when I kept thinking I was the problem.
If you want 2026 to feel calmer, clearer, and more aligned—this episode is for you.

There are lots of great benefits from participating in Dry January. The body does a lot of healing in the first month, and you have to experience life without alcohol. That learning is helpful
In tomorrow's episode I'm going to be explaining 4 of the biggest challenges people face during the month and strategies you can use for each one, so make sure you follow Sober Powered in your podcasting app
If you have any questions, then let me know in the comments and I'll see if I can help
And feel free to DM me the word RESOURCE and I'll send you some of my free resources
Jumped on the microphone at 8 AM this morning to record my January 1 episode with these lovelies. 🥰
