Hello reader,

If you are reading this, it is likely you are sober or sober-curious. Well you're in the right place!

My name is Michael Sargood, and I am the founder of the Sober Socials Website and our fun and friendly community, The Sober Fan Club. 

My story

Just three years ago, I found myself drinking heavily most nights of the week, mostly alone. It was the most isolating experience of my life and affected my relationships, my job, my finances and my physical and mental health. I had tried countless times to cut down or stop drinking completely but I always slipped back to my old ways. 

In March 2020, just before the UK was put into lockdown, I had my first attempt at ditching the booze. It lasted seven months but I was white-knuckling it. I was stressed, bored with my social life and not having fun. So I had JUST ONE drink... that led me to continue drinking heavily most nights again for four months. By the end, I was miserable, exhausted and my mental health was at an all-time low.

After that, I knew that, if I wanted to stay sober and achieve all its marvelous benefits, I needed to do things differently. I needed to build a life that was more fun, connected and fulfilling sober than I had ever had while drinking. So that's what I did. And you can too!

Injecting fun and connection into sobriety

That’s why I launched the Sober Fan Club - a fun and friendly of community of sober and sober-curious people who wanted to find sober friends who wanted to find new friends and let their hair down without booze.

By supporting each other on our journey and having FUN, we help each other live happy and fulfilled lives and break the cycle of drinking, regret and hanxiety. We attend online and in-person events together, play games, dance, attend comedies, chat, laugh and share our experiences.

With one in five adults in the UK today choosing not to drink alcohol - rising to one in four among under-25s - non-drinkers outnumber vegetarians and vegans combined. So there is now shortage of people like you looking to connect and live their best life - but one where alcohol doesn't take centre stage!
