Trigger warning: this episode includes discussion of suicide attempts and may be sensitive for some listeners.

In this episode, I sit down with the creator of Alcoholic Princess Diaries, Veronica. We dive into one of the biggest questions in sobriety. Is alcoholism a disease or not? And how that belief shapes shame, responsibility, and self-forgiveness.

This conversation covers early sobriety, letting go of the drinking identity, and how to deal with shame around past choices made while drinking. We talk about growth without self-punishment and what becoming your best self actually looks like when alcohol is no longer part of the picture.

If you’re sober curious, alcohol-free, or questioning your relationship with drinking, this episode offers honest insight, humor, and relatable recovery insight.

In honor of my mom, Sherry, who passed over the holidays, we are replaying this special episode. In this conversation, Sherry shares an honest update on how she copes and navigates life as a mother to three children, each at different stages of substance use disorder. This episode is tender, real, and a reminder of the strength, love, and compassion she carried so deeply.

Getting married sober can feel intimidating, especially when weddings are so closely tied to drinking culture. In this episode, Katie from Alcohol Free in Dally shares what it’s been like planning her wedding alcohol-free and how sobriety helped her stay grounded, present, and emotionally regulated through the highs and stresses.

We talk about:

• Sober bachelorette expectations
• Handling triggers without spiraling
• Choosing peace over people-pleasing
• Why sober celebrations feel richer and more meaningful

This episode is for anyone who wants proof that a sober life doesn’t shrink your joy, it expands it.
