Summary

In the first episode of this two-part series, Holly and Laura explore the label "alcoholic." They each discuss what the label meant to them before they got sober, how it's evolved for them through sobriety, and if they use it now and why (or why not). They also read a letter from a reader who makes an open plea to find a better label for sober folk. Ideas? LIMITED TIME T-SHIRT CAMPAIGN! Until March 15, in the spirit of claiming our own labels, we've created a t-shirt campaign to raise money for the HOME podcast. All proceeds will go to upgrading the podcasting equipment to improve sound quality and editing. Visit www.lauramckowen.com or www.hipsobriety.com for details and to purchase. Podcast music by Radiation City.
