Lisa and Tawny discuss the important role that allies play in the recovery community. They also discuss the parallels between sobriety and being in the LGBTQ+ community. The perpetual coming out, the stigma that keeps us from embracing our true selves, and how allies can help us feel safe.

Episode 8:  Allies in Recovery: Asking for Help and Supporting Others

Ever wonder what it's like to go on your first sober date? Or survive a wedding without liquid courage? How about dancing stone-cold sober or dealing with your first breakup without wine? Join bestselling authors and longtime sober friends Lisa Smith and Anna David as they talk to guests and each other about all the "firsts" that come with sober living. From awkward to amazing, cringe-worthy to surprisingly poignant, we're talking about what it's actually like to experience life without substances. Each episode dives into those milestone moments that used to require a drink (or five) - and discovers that sober life is messier, funnier, and way more memorable than we ever imagined. Whether you're newly sober, sober-curious, or just want to hear some honest stories about recovery, we're here for all of it. Because as it turns out, when you can remember everything that happened, life gets a lot more interesting. New episodes weekly. Real stories, real recovery, real talk.
