Pt 1: Why Dry January Could Change Your Life | Clare Pooley
Happy New Year Stompers! To mark Dry January, we’re releasing a special mini-series exploring what alcohol-free living is actually like, to hopefully encourage you to give it a go yourself in 2026.
This week, Dr Alex George is joined by Clare Pooley. Clare is a best-selling author, blogger and public speaker who’s had her own journey with alcohol - and has been sober for the past ten years!
In this episode, Clare shares how she first recognised she had a problem with alcohol, what inspired her to quit drinking and what her first sober month was like.
Plus, Clare and Alex discuss the impact that stopping drinking has had on their lives, and why it’s so important to realise that alcohol was never your best friend in the first place…
