The Happiest Sober Hub

Are you ready to discover your happiest life without alcohol?

If you’re feeling trapped in a cycle of regret and anxiety after drinking, you’re not alone. You might have already tried quitting on your own, or maybe you’ve tried to control your drinking, only to end up feeling discouraged and defeated.

The good news is that you can break free from this cycle. Welcome to the Happiest Sober Hub - a warm, inspiring space designed just for you. Here, we understand your journey, and we're ready to support you every step of the way.

Feeling isolated in your sobriety journey? It’s time to change that.

Feeling stuck in the cycle of drinking is a scary and painful place to be. You know that alcohol isn't serving you, yet you feel overwhelmed by the thought of quitting. Maybe you've struggled through sleepless nights full of regret, wondering if you’ll ever find the courage to stop drinking for good. The fear of being judged for choosing sobriety or labeled as 'no fun' for not drinking can leave you feeling paralyzed before you even try. You might be facing the frustration of trying to cut back and moderate without success, and it feels like you’re in a constant loop of starting over only to fall back into old habits. It's exhausting and isolating.

You deserve so much more than this relentless cycle of guilt, shame, and loneliness.

And I know that because I’ve been where you are. After a decade of a toxic relationship with alcohol, I finally decided enough was enough. With the support from my community and my mom, who has over 40 years of sobriety under her belt, I found my way back to freedom. Now, we’re here to help you do the same. We have created a space where you can feel safe, supported, and understood by people who truly get it. Together, we will celebrate your wins and provide steady support through all the ups and downs of your journey.

Imagine this…

Imagine waking up each day feeling clear-minded and proud of yourself, with no hangover and no regrets weighing on you. Picture yourself confidently stepping into social situations and rediscovering how to have fun without the crutch of alcohol. Visualize a life filled with authentic connections, laughter, and empowerment from others on the same path.

You will not only find freedom from drinking, but you'll also discover joy in life itself again. Your sobriety journey can become the most beautiful chapter in your life, filled with personal growth, gratitude, and self-love. With the support of the Happiest Sober Hub, you’ll transform your life in ways that you might not even think are possible right now.

“Life really is happiest when you’re sober and I’ll always be so grateful to Maddie, Meg, and my fellow ‘happies’ for being there for me through every setback and celebration. Sobriety is joyful! I may not have ever really discovered this on my own, so it’s my hope that anyone out there who feels as daunted as I once did by the thought of quitting drinking finds a community as incredible as Happiest Sober. It changed my life in the best way.”

What members are saying

  • I came to my first HSH meeting feeling self conscious, scared, and alone. I left with a knowing that I had found my place, and a sense of support that I didn’t realize I desperately needed. Maddie has an amazing gift at making you feel truly seen for who you are and where you’re at in your sober journey. Sobriety can feel isolating at times, and sometimes it’s hard to find a place where you “fit in”. This community became the missing piece I needed, and I’ve made lifelong friendships because of it! HSH is full of inspiring people on the same journey, and it’s an honor to witness everyone at their highs and lows. I’m so grateful I took a chance on my first meeting and to Maddie for creating such a safe space!

    - Katie, HSH Member

  • HSH was the missing piece of my sobriety! Community is so very important for this journey. I felt welcomed on day 1 and have never looked back. The Hub is so very special and magical due to the the wide array of its members and leaders. Madeline and Meg have been life changing for me and are able to get me thinking outside the box. The wisdom they bring to every single meeting is priceless. My expansion and spiritualism that I have gained from my short time in the hub will forever change my path in life, not just sobriety. It has truly been a blessing getting to know everyone in this space and it has made me not only a better person, but also a more complete person. I joined close to my 3rd anniversary and whether you are new or seasoned within sobriety, this is a place that you will not ever regret being in and will leave a lasting footprint on your soul.

    - Matthew, HSH member

  • Finding the Happiest Sober Hub has been a comfort in my sobriety. I joined when I was 1 month sober and am still a part of this community two years later. I am so thankful for the connections that I’ve made and the support that I’ve received in this time. If you are even slightly considering joining, do it. You won’t regret it. We are the most welcoming and loving people you will ever meet. You will feel like your sober wins are everyone’s. And when you are having a tough time, we are always here to support you through it. I’m so amazed by these people every day and love having people in my corner who get it. We can’t wait to have you here!

    - Riley, HSH Member

  • When I first started having thoughts of getting sober, Madeline’s voice via the Happiest Sober podcast resonated with me right away. I could so relate to her journey, perspective, and I really appreciated her positive outlook. One thing I learned in my early sobriety research was that everyone recommended joining some kind of community. Thankfully, I knew that the Happiest Sober Hub was the right community for me. I joined within the first month of my sobriety and haven’t looked back. This week I will celebrate two years sober, and it brings tears to my eyes knowing what an enormous impact the HSH hub has made in my mental health. For two years I have joined zoom meetings up to twice a week (although they are more available!) which have brought life-long friendships into my life with a community of truly amazing, caring, funny, kind, and heartfelt people. It really helps to not do this alone. I actually couldn’t be more grateful for Maddie and the HSH - it’s changed my life.

    - Bridget, HSH member

  • I’ve been a member of Happiest Sober Hub since early 2024 and it’s such a special part of my life. In my heart, I knew that I wanted to—needed to—-let go of alcohol. Listening to Maddie’s podcast, so many of the conversations resonated with me and I realized I wasn’t so alone in what I was feeling. When I joined the Hub, I found the community and courage I needed to take that step and give an alcohol-free life a chance. The journey can be challenging at times but more than anything else it’s been beautifully expansive. Life really is happiest when you’re sober and I’ll always be so grateful to Maddie, Meg, and my fellow “happies” for being there for me through every setback and celebration. Sobriety is joyful! I may not have ever really discovered this on my own, so it’s my hope that for anyone out there who feels as daunted as I once did by the thought of quitting drinking finds a community as incredible as Happiest Sober. It changed my life in the best way.

    - Ashley, HSH Member

  • HSH meetings are my favorite times of the week! I've joined calls with positive things to share, and I've joined some in tears. Every time, I've been met with friends to cheer me on and true compassion, always. This group has provided me with support, laughter, and real friendships. Also, the in person meet ups are SO much fun! I love everything about this amazing group of people!

    - Chelsea, HSH Member

  • Joining the Happiest Sober Hub changed my life. I would not have made it to almost 5 months sober if I didn't have this community for 12 of those weeks. I would highly recommend joining this group for anyone in early sobriety or with years under their belt; I felt so welcomed and comfortable. I can't thank Maddie and this group enough for my life today.

    - Kimberly, HSH Member

  • I am SO glad I found Happiest Sober Hub. This group is such a great support system and one where I feel like I belong. Maddie is such a great leader in this group and we are all lucky to have her. She is smart, articulate, relatable, encouraging and always has the best feedback to our struggles. This group has helped me realize that my story is not unique and that sobriety is not only possible, but wonderful and life-changing.

    - Brittany, HSH Member

  • I absolutely love being apart of the Happiest Sober Hub. I have made genuine connections in this group and consider everyone my friends at this point. It’s such a supportive, understanding, nonjudgmental group of people and I love how we all genuinely want the best for one another. Maddie is such a thoughtful, wonderful person and really makes all of us feel so welcomed and special. The meetings are one of my favorite parts of my week, every week!

    - Megan, HSH Member

  • The Happiest Sober Hub has actually made me want to be sober for the rest of my life. I feel like I have found people who support & understand my journey in sobriety. Whenever things get hard, I remember that there are other people going through the same struggles and it keeps me sober. Thank you, Maddie, for all that you do to support us!

    - Amber, HSH Member

  • Madeline is a truly lovely leader. The content she provides, little nuggets of wisdom, really do create a ripple effect. Her story and choices are inspiring and are sure to add value to your life regardless of where you're at in your sobriety journey. She is kind, welcoming, and makes you feel included, even if you're not at the place you are hoping to be quite yet. She makes sure that you know you matter.
