This week on the podcast, Jamie and Tom catch up to reflect on the end of Dry January! First, congratulations to everyone who made it through the month with a fresh perspective on alcohol and substance use. Whether you cut back, took a full break, or simply reassessed your habits, that’s a huge milestone.

But here’s the thing - it doesn’t have to end here. This could be the start of something bigger. Another month, six months, or even a full year of making more intentional choices.

In this episode, Tom and Jamie explore the key reflections to consider after a month off drinking, the unexpected impact of their decision to ban caffeine, and what those changes have meant for them. Plus, they’re joined by Sober Psychotherapist David Gibbs, who shares his insights on sobriety’s place in modern life.

A very special episode this week, listeners! Thanks to your support - and the help of some incredible individuals - we hosted our first ever They Think It's All Sober Fine Dining Experience! And what an experience it was!

We partnered with the amazing team at Alcohol Change UK to host a non-alcoholic dinner at the widely celebrated Ugly Butterfly restaurant, created by Chef Adam Handling in the stunning St Ives area. You can practically hear the smiles and laughter of our past podcast guests in this episode as they savor the finest non-alcoholic beverages available.

The Ugly Butterfly has been a trailblazer in creating space for non-alcoholic dining, and this event was a true celebration of all the hard work, energy, and passion poured into our podcast.

Tune in to hear more about this incredible evening and the inspiring thoughts from the pioneers leading the sobriety movement in the UK. We’re so grateful for this amazing community and thrilled to share it all with you.

Now, bottoms up - time to pull up your seat and enjoy the episode!

We’ve only gone and secured rapper, songwriter, and mental health advocate Stephen Manderson - AKA Professor Green!

It’s fair to say Professor Green is a true legend of UK rap. Renowned for his storytelling and lyrical flow, he’s brought us chart-topping hits like I Need You Tonight and Just Be Good to Green.

Beyond music, Manderson is a passionate advocate for mental health and personal self-development. He’s been candid about his struggles with anxiety, depression, and the devastating loss of his father to suicide. In this episode, Stephen opens up about his complex relationship with alcohol and substance misuse—sometimes overdoing it, sometimes reigning it in. Right now, he’s enjoying sobriety, though he’s clear it may not be a permanent state for him.

In this conversation, Green reflects on the sobriety label, shares his lifestyle pillars for feeling content, and explains how becoming a father has recalibrated his life.

T/W: This podcast contains conversation around suicide. Please only listen if it feels safe for you.

This week on the podcast, Jamie and Tom are joined by Nick O'Shea, AKA @getsoberwithnick, for an inspiring Dry-January conversation.

Nick takes us through his deeply personal journey, sharing how the male-dominated culture of building sites, football, and pub life led him down a dark path of alcohol and drug misuse. For five long years, despite his desire to quit, Nick found himself trapped in a cycle he couldn't break free from.

In this episode, he gets candid about the challenges of addiction, the stigma around sobriety in male-centric environments, and the importance of being brutally honest with yourself. Nick also offers actionable insights on how to identify toxic patterns, shift your mindset, and start building healthier habits for a brighter future.

We’ve got an absolute gem this week on the pod! Writer, author and award winning creator, Ellie Middleton, joins Jamie and Tom in the studio to share the story of her 5-month sobriety journey.

Diagnosed at 24, Ellie spent years feeling misunderstood before embracing her neurodivergence and using her platform to advocate for others. With a following of over 300,000, she founded Unmasked, a community dedicated to supporting and educating people around neurodiversity.

In this episode, Ellie sheds light on the relationship between alcohol and neurodiversity, how certain relationships can hold you back from living your best life, and how sometimes it’s all about taking that first step and seeing what’s possible.

If you’re curious about sobriety, neurodiversity, or just need a dose of empowerment, this episode is for you!
