A very powerful and important episode this week.

Jamie and Tom are joined by multi-genre London DJ, Savannah Simms!

Savannah joined the for a chat in November when she was 8 months sober. During that conversation, she shared her experiences navigating sobriety in the music scene, where substances had long been her main temptation. By sharing her journey on social media, she held herself accountable and inspired others.

Today, Savannah finds herself in a situation where alcohol and other substances have challenged her this last month. Determined to stay on track, she reconnects with Jamie and Tom for a raw and honest discussion about the ongoing challenges of maintaining a sober lifestyle.

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.
