“I didn't start this week with the plan to start the steps to become alcohol free. ”
I've tried many many times to moderate, and as everyone knows, it starts out great and slowly (sometimes not that slowly) and then it creeps back to the same levels. This summit has definitely been inspirational and I definitely feel something different this time - I really want to do it. Thanks for the inspiration. I'll be staying connected as I can totally see, I can't do this alone!

Summit Review
HELLo, I’m Maggie
Hi, I’m Maggie—former wine lover who thought my nightly glass was just self-care. Turns out, waking up at 1 a.m., battling brain fog, and feeling like a drained-out version of myself wasn’t exactly thriving. After one too many mornings of asking, “Why do I keep doing this?” I decided to test the waters of an alcohol-free life with a 100-day sobriety challenge—and let’s just say, I never looked back.
In those early days, I wanted more than just a break from drinking—I wanted answers, real tools, and a community that actually got it. I searched for a summit designed for people like me—gray area drinkers who weren’t hitting rock bottom but were tired of feeling stuck. When I couldn’t find one, I thought, What if creating a summit was the “really hard thing” I did on my alcohol-free journey?
So, in April 2023, The Sober Summit was born. Over 5,000 people joined, and my only goal was to inspire one person (who wasn’t a relative). Instead, I was flooded with messages from people all over the world saying how much it helped them. That’s when I knew—sobriety isn’t just about quitting drinking. It’s about gaining more than you ever imagined.
Now, through 1:1 coaching and our amazing Sober Circle community, I help people ditch the struggle, find their people, and create an alcohol-free life that’s actually fun. Sobriety isn’t boring—it’s where the good stuff begins. I hope you’ll join us for this next Sober Summit and see for yourself how incredible life can be when you stop letting alcohol take up space it doesn’t deserve.
I realized that choosing sobriety allows people to live the life they've always longed for.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
WHO IS THE SUMMIT FOR?
Whatever your relationship is with alcohol, only you know if it’s adding to your life or taking something away. It doesn’t matter if you’re a binge drinker, an everyday drinker or something in between. If you’re curious about sobriety and what life could be like without alcohol, you’re in the right place.
What if I’m already sober, can I still attend?
Absolutely and congratulations! Wherever you are in your sober journey it’s always important to have the support and inspiration to keep going. You’ll find lots of resources here to keep you motivated and continue moving forward with confidence.
Are the interviews live?
To avoid tech glitches, save my sanity, and keep things easy for the speakers, the interviews are pre-recorded and will be released at the scheduled time.

This is our 4th summit and it runs from April 23-25,2025. We'll kick off on April 23rd with our first day of interviews.

No way! The only person you’ll get emails from after you sign up is from me, Maggie. That’s so you can get all the updates for the summit. After the summit is over you’ll continue to hear from me, but you can unsubscribe at any time.
As for the speakers, the only way your email address will be shared with them is if you opt-in for a freebie they promote or grab one of their bonuses offered in the All Access Pass.
