Summary

In this eposide I'm talking with Sarah Levy, author of the new memoir/social critique Drinking Games, about how sobriety transformed her life. We compare our lives pre-sobriety and explore what differentiates true alcoholism from excessive or problematic drinking, and discuss how the stigma around alcoholism and addiction prevent so many people from getting the help they need. We also talk about getting sober young, how sobriety affects your social life, how to ignore judgement, how life can truly begin in sobriety and so much more. Whether you’re sober curious, doing dry January, know somebody struggling or have a healthy relationship with alcohol, this episode is a fascinating exploration of alcoholism in a way that isn’t often talked about.
