Sobriety and Straightedge: A Candid Chat with Adam Woodley
The reason that we all love going to brunch right is not because of the marketing done by the restaurants, but because we watch young, successful people go to brunch all the time on TV, like people who are funny, successful, and have bright personalities, and all these like comedy shows are all going to brunch.
What happens when two creative minds sit down to talk about sobriety, straightedge culture, and the quirky aspects of brunch? You get an episode packed with honesty, humor, and heartfelt discussions. In this final episode of part two of 'lowercase sober', Izzi D'Esposito and Adam Woodley dive into the complexities of living alcohol-free in your 20s. Izzi, who defines lowercase sober as being sober but not capital S sober, shares her journey and invites Adam to do the same.
They touch on their first songs, the straightedge movement, and how they really feel about brunch culture (spoiler: it's not just about the mimosas). The conversation also delves into deeper topics like trauma and grief, so be mindful if those subjects are sensitive for you. But it's not all heavy; there's plenty of light-hearted banter and even a discussion on non-alcoholic craft beers that Adam recently discovered.
This episode is a perfect blend of personal stories and broader insights, making it a must-listen for anyone navigating sobriety or simply curious about a life less ordinary.
