Clare Pooley: How I Inspired Millions to get Sober through 'The Sober Diaries'

In today's episode, Hame sits down with the wonderful Clare Pooley. The globally celebrated author who's blog and subsequent book 'The Sober Diaries' has been been named as THE book that helped so many of our listeners get sober so it felt only right to invite her on!

This fascinating conversation ranges from how she labelled and overcame her 'wine witch' (and the surprising role that Game of Thrones played in it!), the 'Best Mum Cup' moment that would mark her final alcoholic drink, why she has never identified with the term 'alcoholic', how her sobriety prepared her for the challenges of being diagnosed with breast cancer and the rules she encourages on any teenager asking about how to drink alcohol.

As well as being a fountain of knowledge, Clare was exactly as kind, funny and relatable as you might expect.

We hope that this episode can inspire one more person to reconsider their relationship with alcohol to add to the long list!
