About this listen

In the final episode of Season 3, Shell is joined by Dawn Comolly, better known as Sober Fish: writer, recovery advocate, and founder of one of the UK’s most vibrant online sobriety communities. Since giving up alcohol in 2016, Dawn has built a space that helps thousands of people swap hangovers and self-doubt for clarity, connection, and confidence always with her trademark honesty and humour.

Dawn shares her journey from teenage drinking and smoking, through years of exhaustion and toxic relationships, to the unexpected click moment that changed her life. Together, she and Shell explore:

  • Why “one day at a time” really works in early sobriety
  • How COVID shifted drinking habits and the long-term fallout still being felt today
  • The hidden shame around alcohol, smoking, and sugar; and why freedom means answering to nothing
  • Building self-respect, boundaries, and a life you don’t want to escape from
  • Why authenticity, community, and even a healthy dose of swearing are essential in recovery

Dawn’s message is clear: sobriety isn’t dull or restrictive. It’s colourful, liberating, and full of possibility. Whether you’re sober, sober-curious, or questioning your relationship with drinking, this conversation is packed with truth, laughter, and practical wisdom from someone who’s been there and built something extraordinary from it.
