I think that a lot of people drink to give themselves permission to do things that they want to do. That is an ok feeling to have, but doing it with booze is bad for people like you, and I, yeah, no, I think I definitely came to that realization because it was like, yeah, I was drinking to make myself make choices, you know, to push myself into a place where I could, you know, ask for something specific sexually, or just cross a line, or something that I should be approaching in a much different way.
Imagine giving up alcohol for a year. Now imagine doing it as a comedian, where nightlife and drinks are part of the job. That's exactly what Babs Gray is doing in her podcast 'Babstinence'. In this episode, Babs reaches day 17 and celebrates making it past the two-week mark. She gives a shout-out to her supportive listeners and talks about the tips and encouragement she's received so far.
It's not just about the struggle; it's about the community that lifts you up. This week, Babs is joined by Steve Hernandez, a comedian who has been sober for four years. Steve is known for his comedy show at the Chatterbox bar in Covina, but today, he's here to talk about his journey to sobriety. Together, Babs and Steve dive into some real talk about different levels of alcoholism and the role of non-alcoholic drinks in staying sober.
They don't shy away from the tricky topics either, discussing sex and dating without alcohol. It's an honest, sometimes hilarious conversation that shows how sobriety can transform your life in unexpected ways. Babs emphasizes the importance of giving yourself grace and pushing past fear to make positive changes. By the end of the episode, you'll see how living sober can boost your creativity, productivity, and overall well-being.
If you're curious about how comedians handle sobriety or looking for some inspiration on your own journey, this episode is a must-listen.
