I saw Tom perform at Yuk Yuk's in Ottawa over the summer and he mentioned being sober. I was so happy to see someone openly talk about their sobriety and not turn it into a bad joke. I loved this conversation with Tom and could have kept talking for hours!

I was at Yuk Yuk's in Ottawa a few weeks ago and Logan was doing his stand-up. When he mentioned being sober, I knew I wanted to chat with him. I wanted to hear his story about getting sober so young and what it's been like talking about it on stage.

I hope you enjoy my conversation with Logan

This week's Unashamed Alcoholic guest is Laura Eamon.

Many people sent me Laura's story on CBC.ca when it came out, saying she'd be a great guest- they were right, she was lovely! Laura quit university due to an alcohol problem and once sober, landed a scholarship. It's a beautiful and inspiring story of recovery that everyone will be encouraged by. Here is her story and I hope you enjoy our conversation.
