In today's episode, Cailin interviews a dream guest of her's: Sarah Levy, author of Drinking Games. Part memoir and part social critique, Drinking Games is about how one woman drank and lived— and how, for her, the last drink was just the beginning. On paper, Sarah Levy’s life was on track. She was 28, living in New York City, working a great job, and socializing every weekend. But Sarah had a secret: her relationship with alcohol was becoming toxic. And only she could save herself.Drinking Games explores the role alcohol has in our formative years, and what it means to opt out of a culture completely enmeshed in drinking. It’s an examination of what our short-term choices about alcohol do to our long-term selves and how they challenge our ability to be vulnerable enough to discover what we really want in life.
In today's episode, Sarah and Cailin cover telling your sobriety story, red flags in your relationship with alcohol, sober dating, growing out of dishonesty, and creating a sobriety toolkit.
