Babs Gray's Sobriety Milestone: A Month of Laughs and Lessons

I do like champagne, man, and different...but I just happen to be one of the ones that can't party with it, and honestly, that sucks, dude.
Babs Gray, the comedian and former mall Easter bunny, has hit her first major milestone in her year-long sobriety journey: one month without alcohol. In this episode of 'Babstinence', Babs takes a moment to reflect on the highs and lows of her initial 30 days. She reads out heartfelt emails and messages from listeners, reminding us that even the smallest moments, like an open mic night, can hold beauty.
Joining her is comedian and writer Megan Koester, who brings her own tales of battling sobriety, especially during the pandemic. Their conversation is candid and filled with both humor and depth. They touch on strategies to stay sober, the lingering effects of childhood trauma, and the importance of therapy. Megan's experience adds a layer of relatability for anyone struggling with similar issues.
Babs also shares her love for the cult classic 'Garth Marenghi's Darkplace' and how finding a community with shared interests can be a lifeline. The episode wraps up with a nudge to check out 'The Last Open Mic At The End Of The World', hosted by Megan and featuring Babs, available on YouTube or HBO Max. Dive into this episode for a mix of laughs, heartfelt stories, and practical advice on navigating sobriety.
