Sober Fish: Dawn Comolly’s Journey from Party Animal to Sobriety Advocate

I didn't know that I didn't love myself, that my self-esteem was on the floor, that I was putting so much effort into other people and not enough into myself.
Dawn Comolly, better known as 'Sober Fish', was once the life of the party. But endless nights out, two-day hangovers, and toxic relationships left her feeling miserable. In the summer of 2016, she decided to make a change. Dawn embarked on a year-long experiment to live without alcohol and cigarettes, documenting her journey on social media. She drank her last alcoholic beverage on November 26, 2016, and never looked back.
What started as a personal challenge transformed her life in ways she never imagined. In this episode of RecoveryPlusPodcast: F*ck Yesterday, Focus on Today, Dr. Mei-Li Hennen chats with Dawn about her incredible transformation. Dawn shares the highs and lows of her journey to sobriety, from the initial struggles to the profound benefits she experienced. She talks about how giving up alcohol changed her social life, her relationships, and her overall well-being.
Dawn also delves into the power of community in maintaining sobriety. She now runs several online accounts and a sober community, helping others find their path to a booze-free life. Recently qualified as a Positive Psychology and Alcohol-Free Coach, Dawn is passionate about supporting people on their sobriety journeys. The episode also touches on the growing 'sober curious' movement and the rise of non-alcoholic beverages. Dawn discusses how redefining social norms around drinking can make sobriety more accessible and appealing.
Tune in to hear Dawn's inspiring story and gain insights into living a fulfilling life without alcohol. Whether you're considering sobriety or looking for support in your journey, this episode offers valuable advice and encouragement.
