Nostalgia and Sobriety: Scott and Derek's Journey from First Drinks to Lasting Lessons

I feel like peer pressure and, uh, stuff like that is really front of mind for a lot of kids and they're taught about it a little more in school and through um, just sort of.
Remember your first drink? Scott and Derek do, and in this episode of Brobriety's Club Soda Club, they take a heartfelt trip down memory lane. From the innocent sips of wine at family gatherings to the wild binge drinking of high school days, they share how those early experiences shaped their relationship with alcohol. But it's not just about the past; it's about the present and future too.
Scott talks about the challenges of maintaining a routine in isolation, while Derek recounts a poignant cross-country drive to visit his dying grandfather. They also touch on teenage self-loathing, sober strip club visits, and even the art of sober home brewing. This episode is packed with candid reflections and enduring lessons that go beyond just staying sober.
Scott and Derek discuss the importance of being sober role models for the younger generation, proving that a life without alcohol can be just as fulfilling, if not more so. They also dive into the joys of discovering new hobbies and passions in sobriety, like developing your own film at home or baking sourdough bread. If you're looking for a raw, honest, and sometimes humorous take on sobriety and mental health, this episode is a must-listen.
