“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.”

“At 571 days sober, I can say that the Happiest Sober Hub has helped me return to myself. I show up in my marriage differently. I show up as my best self at work. I face challenges instead of avoiding them. I make decisions aligned with who I want to be. And I know I don’t have to do it alone. This community didn’t just help me stop drinking - it helped me build a life I actually want to be present for.”

Curious about meeting times? Here’s our September meeting schedule:

Take the first step towards your happiest alcohol-free life…

It’s time to go all in on yourself and your sobriety!

Wondering whether you really need community to do this? Community is one of those things that is so easy to underestimate until you finally experience it for yourself. I hear time and time again from HSH members that sobriety was the missing piece they didn’t realize they needed. Community not only helps make our sobriety stick - it truly makes it so much more joyful. You won’t know what you’re missing until you finally take the leap and discover it for yourself!

Worried you won’t be able to make it to the weekly meetings? I share a recap of the biggest highlights, takeaways, and aha’s of our meetings at the end of each week (without using names) so you’ll still benefit from the discussions we have, whether you were able to make it or not! You will also have access to our private forum on the Circle app where you can share or reach out for support at any time.

Nervous to share in a group setting? Trust me, I get it! There is never ANY obligation to share in a meeting! You are more than welcome to join in (camera on or off!) and just listen. But I promise that if you’d like to share, it is a 100% safe, supportive, inclusive, and judgment-free space. ALWAYS.

How much does your Happiest Sober Hub membership cost?

Join the community today for $49 USD a month. Or you can save $5/month with a 3-month subscription (that’s less than $1.50 a day!).

And if the Happiest Sober Hub isn’t the right fit for you? Cancel anytime!

I want you to have the absolute best support on YOUR sober journey! If this group isn’t the right fit for what you’re looking for, you can cancel your subscription at anytime and you won’t be charged again!

And as an added bonus for you when you join…

To make sure you feel supported and comfortable right from the start, you’ll gain access to a Newcomer Meeting to welcome you into the community!

In this meeting, you’ll have a chance to create connections with other brand new members (and with me!) as you integrate into the group. This is a chance for me to get to know you better and to meet you exactly where you’re at on your journey.

You’ll also gain exclusive access to a private podcast for HSH members only! In this weekly podcast, I share a recap of discussions, insights, and takeaways from our meetings each week. So if you aren't able to hop onto all of our meetings, I've got you covered! You'll still benefit from the amazing and inspiring conversations we have, AND you'll have some extra sober content in your toolbox for whenever you need it.

“I’m so thankful to be part of something that truly changes lives. If you feel like your sobriety is missing a piece, the piece you are missing is community and this community is so beyond amazing!”

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • Happiest Sober Hub has been one of the greatest blessings in my sobriety journey. It’s more than just meetings, it’s a community of people who genuinely understand and support each other. Through this group, I’ve built meaningful connections and found strength in moments when I needed it most. Every single member has a valuable and unique perspective that is so inspiring! Madeline and Megan create such a safe and inspiring space. As a sober mother-daughter team, their perspective is powerful and deeply relatable. Their words have helped me grow in ways I never imagined possible. I’m so thankful to be part of something that truly changes lives. If you feel like your sobriety is missing a piece, the piece you are missing is community and this community is so beyond amazing!

    - Meggie, HSH Member

  • Happiest Sober Hub was truly the missing piece in my sobriety journey. I had experienced long-term sobriety before, but I struggled to maintain it. Connecting and sharing within this incredibly vulnerable, accepting, and loving group has made all the difference. It’s helped me relate to others, feel less alone, and become part of the most magical, supportive community. I genuinely cannot recommend it enough. The wisdom shared in each meeting is beautiful, powerful, and deeply helpful. I am forever grateful to have found this space. And as a little bonus — I absolutely LOVE the book club!

    - Nicola, HSH Member

  • I found the Happiest Sober Hub via Maddie's podcast and was initially drawn to hearing her talk about so many things that I related to on the Pod. I was hesitant to join at first because I was not sure it would be a good fit. However, once I joined I found an incredible community that is so warm and supportive of new members. The support I received from day one made me feel so much less alone in my sober journey. Maddie is so good at making you feel welcome from day 1 as is everyone else in the community. I had previously struggled with being sober alienating me from my friend groups and making me feel very isolated. But everyone in HSH shares so many similar stories to my own and it's such a relief and comforting feeling knowing others have struggled in similar ways to me and share similar shame stories and regret. It feels very safe to share uncomfortable feelings or stories because everyone in this group can understand the pain and suffering alcohol has caused us. I always feel very heard when I share something. I have also participated in the HSH annual in person meet up, last year was in Chicago, which was an amazing trip. Joining a new group of strangers sounds daunting but the instant "sober connection" is real and you'll find no better place than HSH. I've made several friends in the HSH community I can reach out to if I need extra support and jumping on the weekly calls when needed always leaves me feeling better that day.

    - 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.

    — Happiest Sober Hub Member

  • The happiest sober hub has been SUCH a great addition to my sober journey! Maddie is so sweet and provides a safe, calm, and fun environment to share your story and also listen to other people who can relate to your journey. I look forward to our meetings every week and am super bummed when I have to miss. Thank you Maddie for hosting this group and introducing me to a new, awesome community!

    - Aimee, HSH Member

  • I found the HSH by first finding Maddie. I don’t quite recall how that happened. Likely an algorithm on Instagram connected me - increasingly seeing information about sobriety and her - increasingly posting content to express the benefits of sobriety that she was experiencing. I believe Maddie followed her heart in creating this community. She did it out of a desire to grow and share and learn - and in the process created something special. When she decided to build the hub, she did so with a passion for bringing people together to find and share everyday authentic lessons and findings about the gifts that sobriety can bring. She also demonstrated a voracious ability to write, record and produce helpful content for others to turn to for guidance when and where they needed it. In doing so she attracted and earned an audience of people seeking direction and validation and support. That this was not only a life worth living, but even one to share and proclaim. Today the Hub has tools from podcasts, to a book club, a monthly intentions gathering, a social app (Circle), multiple weekly support calls, sober trips and gatherings. More importantly, it’s a community of people working to lift each other up and grow together - especially welcoming and nurturing those who may be newly interested in exploring a clear eyed lifestyle. I am truly grateful to have found it and to do my best to support its continued growth and mission.
