I don't see the difference between alcohol and other drugs other than legality.
Ever thought about how to stay social while staying sober? Crystal Morrell dives into this very topic with Michael Sargood, a 39-year-old communications manager from London, in this episode of 'Sober Onions'. Michael, who has been sober for nine months after going through detox and rehab, shares his inspiring journey of overcoming addiction and the creative ways he's fostering a sober community.

He talks candidly about the challenges of staying sober during holidays and social gatherings, and how he found new ways to enjoy life without alcohol. Michael also opens up about the stigma surrounding addiction and the importance of breaking the silence. His Instagram and Facebook accounts, 'HappyWithoutTheHooch', have become platforms for promoting positivity and connecting with others on their alcohol-free journeys.
Michael's story is not just about quitting drinking; it's about building a fulfilling life that inspires others to do the same. Whether you're on your own sobriety path or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and a lot of hope. Tune in to hear how Michael turned his struggle into a mission to help others find joy in sobriety.
