Summary

Apparently “The Shocker” is a sexual position, or so Holly’s friends tell her. This episode will make you cringe in the first half and cry in the second as Holly and I each share three “shockers” from our drinking days and three from sobriety. From driving in a blackout to nearly choking to death to doing “Molly” alone to drinking your friends’ expensive wedding gift, we recount some of the horrific places drinking took us. Things have changed, though, and we also get into the really, really, really amazing stuff that has shocked us in sobriety, too. Music by Radiation City.
