Neuroplasticity - Hope for Addicts with Gill Tietz from Sober Powered

May 10, 2024

Gill Tietz from Sober Powered talks about neuroplasticity and the brain's ability to adapt.

Gill Tietz is the host and creator of the fabulous Sober Powered Podcast. She is a recovering alcoholic and has a BS in chemistry and an MS in biology which gives an incredible platform for the foundation of this conversation.

She got sober in 2019 because alcohol caused the complete destruction of her mental health. Now, she teaches what she has learned about why it’s so hard to stop drinking, why alcohol makes us so miserable, and how to embrace sobriety.

She spent 5 years dedicated to learning how to moderate her drinking. She researched moderation tirelessly and tried every strategy she could think of. No matter how bad things got for her, she always believed she could learn to moderate if she just had enough practice. Things continued to escalate until her drinking scared me enough to stop due to suicidal thoughts. She wants to help you accept sobriety sooner than she did so you don’t have to spend any more time being stuck in the drink, hate yourself, drink cycle.
