In this Jenn x Jaime AF Chat, host Jenn Reed sits down with co-host Jaime Andersen for a candid conversation about sober shaming - the judgment, comments, and social pressure people face when they choose not to drink. Both share raw, personal experiences of being on both sides of this issue, from distancing themselves from non-drinking friends to facing criticism and lost friendships after getting sober. They explore why sober shaming happens, discuss the impact it can have on people in early recovery, and offer practical tools for handling these challenging social situations. This honest discussion reveals how alcohol is so normalized in our culture that choosing sobriety can trigger uncomfortable reactions from others, and provides valuable insights for anyone navigating social situations without alcohol.
