Babs Gray: Navigating Week Three of Sobriety with Humor and Song
I feel like overall, the numbness, the numbness is lifting from my bod in good and bad ways.
Babs Gray, comedian and podcaster, is three weeks into her year-long sobriety challenge, and things are getting real. In this episode, Babs doesn't shy away from sharing the raw emotions that come with early sobriety. The initial haze has lifted, leaving her feeling irritable and on edge. But rather than keeping it bottled up, she finds solace in putting it all out there for her listeners. Ever tried to enjoy a concert sober?
Babs did, and let's just say it didn't go as planned. Her trip to the Hollywood Bowl turned into a lesson in navigating social events without the crutch of alcohol. Despite the challenges, Babs is grateful for this platform to share her journey, warts and all. As a special treat, she debuts her first-ever song for the podcast, 'The Little Things', capturing the essence of finding joy in small victories.
Babs' candidness about mental health and the stigma surrounding it is both refreshing and relatable. She touches on the benefits of regular exercise and how these 'little things' can make a big difference in maintaining sobriety. If you're looking for an honest, humorous take on the ups and downs of quitting alcohol, this episode is a must-listen. Babs' journey is a mix of self-discovery, laughter, and those awkward moments we all face when trying something new.
