I don't love the word, but it's just the easiest way to kind of get your point across without having to get into it and telling your story.
How do you stay sober in a city that never sleeps? Kate Zander and Jes Valentine tackle this question head-on in this episode of 'Seltzer Squad'. They dive into the concept of a 'Sobriety Toolbox', a collection of strategies and tools to help you navigate social events and parties without alcohol. Whether it's having an escape plan or finding alternative ways to cope with stress, Kate and Jes offer practical advice grounded in their own experiences.
One of the standout moments is their discussion on the 'gray area' of sobriety. Not everyone fits neatly into the category of being a full-blown alcoholic or completely sober. There are many shades of gray, and recognizing this can help reduce the stigma around sobriety. This episode creates a welcoming space for those who might feel isolated in their journey, offering both empathy and actionable tips.
Kate shares how she sometimes turns to sugar when stressed, while Jes talks about using cigarettes as a substitute. Their candidness makes the episode relatable and comforting, especially for those who might be struggling with cravings. They also touch on the language around sobriety, emphasizing the importance of finding words that resonate with your personal experience. If you're looking for a mix of humor, honesty, and practical advice on staying sober in an urban environment, this episode is for you.
Tune in to hear Kate and Jes share their wisdom and support, making the sober life feel a little less daunting and a lot more achievable.
