I am fucking terrified of losing out on the things that make life fun.
Starting a year-long journey without alcohol is no small feat, and comedian Babs Gray is diving headfirst into this challenge in her podcast, 'Babstinence: One Woman. One Year. No Booze.' In the first episode, aptly titled 'Day 1', Babs opens up about why she decided to take on sobriety and what she's feeling as she embarks on this new chapter.
She reflects on her history with alcohol, from her first drunken escapade on an Irish riverbank as a teenager to the present day. Babs candidly shares her fears about losing the social ease and fun that alcohol once provided, but she’s also brimming with excitement about the potential benefits of sobriety.
She talks about the importance of accountability and having a support system, using her podcast as a platform to process her experiences and connect with others who might be on a similar path. With her trademark humor, Babs doesn't shy away from discussing the awkwardness of social situations without a drink in hand or the challenges of rediscovering her sexual identity without the liquid courage.
But she’s also looking forward to building a more genuine connection with her body and improving her physical health. Throughout the episode, Babs brings in light-hearted jingles and chats with other comedians who have embraced sobriety, making the conversation both engaging and relatable. If you're curious about what it's like to give up booze or need a laugh while navigating your own sober journey, this episode is a must-listen.
