In Hangxiety, bestselling author and founder of the Sober Girl Society, Millie Gooch, finally names what so many of us feel: alcohol messes with our mental health far more than we’ve been led to believe.
Drawing on scientific research, real-life stories, and expert insight, Millie reveals the full picture of alcohol’s impact on the mind – from the science of hangxiety and sleep disruption to the way alcohol intensifies stress, trauma, and neurodivergence.
This is not an abstinence-only message. It’s a compassionate, empowering reframe for anyone wondering: Why do I feel like this the morning after? Why do I drink to quiet my brain – and why does it make it worse? How can I feel more like myself again?
You’ll learn:
- How alcohol hijacks your nervous system, emotions, and stress response
- Why women are disproportionately affected by alcohol-fueled anxiety
- The truth about alcohol’s link to trauma, memory, neurodivergence, and sleep
- What science says about cutting down – and how your brain recovers
Whether you’re sober, sober-curious, or simply questioning your relationship with drinking, Hangxiety offers a judgment-free guide to understanding alcohol’s emotional effects—and transforming your relationship to it.
