Episode Overview

  • Unpacking the societal impact and true nature of sobriety as a lifestyle
  • Challenging traditional perceptions and offering a refreshing take on the cultural trend of Dry January
  • Concerns about the glorification and trivialization of alcoholism
  • Emphasizing that sobriety is a lifestyle and not just a month-long endeavour
  • Providing a thought-provoking perspective on the phenomenon of Dry January
To us, it doesn't make sense. We've seen a lot of dry Januaries. And I've seen a lot of people not make a dry January and they keep drinking. I would say a lot of people who do dry January don't make the full month of January. There's always that, oh, I'm going to sober up now. It's January, right? Then they don't get sober. They make it a week and then it's like off to the races again. I don't know. I find this fascinating. That's what we have to say about that. That's it.
Is Dry January just a trendy challenge or something deeper? In this episode of 'Laughing Without Liquor', hosts Lane Kennedy and Tamar Medford dive into the nitty-gritty of this popular phenomenon. As women who have been in long-term recovery, they bring a unique perspective that goes beyond the surface. Lane and Tamar don't shy away from sharing their personal stories and thoughts, making this discussion both engaging and eye-opening.
They tackle the societal impact of Dry January, question its potential downsides, and highlight the importance of seeing sobriety as a lifestyle rather than a temporary break. The duo offers a fresh, candid take on the cultural trend, encouraging listeners to think critically about how alcohol consumption is portrayed in society.
