Before sober dating, before sober sex, before sober relationships, before any of that, you have to fall in love with yourself without alcohol. That's why we drank - because we didn't like to be avoiding ourselves.
Ever wondered how dating and intimacy change when alcohol is off the table? In this episode of 'Seltzer Squad', hosts Kate Zander and Jes Valentine sit down with Tawny Lara, an author and advocate for sober living. Tawny’s upcoming book, 'Dry Humping: A Guide to Dating, Relating, and Hooking Up Without the Booze', serves as a springboard for a lively and honest discussion about relationships in sobriety.
From the evolution of her definition of sobriety to the nitty-gritty of her writing process, Tawny shares it all. She dives into the challenges of being vulnerable in her writing and addresses the stigma surrounding both sobriety and cannabis use. The conversation isn't just about avoiding alcohol; it's about embracing self-love and understanding the deeper layers of intimacy.
Whether you’re navigating a new relationship or just curious about sober sex, this episode offers a refreshing take on finding connection without the crutch of booze. Join Kate, Jes, and Tawny for a chat that’s as enlightening as it is entertaining.
