Don't be going fucking buying a bunch of bullshit for your fucking kids for Christmas. If there's a fucking xbox out or something for like or some shit like that, fuck that. Tell your fucking kid he better fucking learn how to fucking she-rock the house or fucking put a new roof on.
The holiday season can be a minefield for anyone trying to stay sober, and Joey C. doesn't shy away from the tough topics in this episode of 'Brutally Sober'. Broadcasting from his usual spot in a grocery store parking lot, Joey dives into the nitty-gritty of surviving the holidays without a drink in hand.
He starts with a humorous yet practical take on holiday shopping, advising against splurging on gifts and instead focusing on teaching kids valuable skills like roofing or music. It's not just about saving money; it's about instilling a sense of purpose and creativity. Joey then shifts gears to discuss the darker side of the season—shorter days, family stress, and the general sense of malaise that can creep in.
He opens up about his own struggles with self-motivation and the lack of enjoyable activities at the moment. But Joey isn't just venting; he's offering real advice. He emphasizes the importance of sticking to sobriety commitments, even if it means having a solo meeting. Daily meditations and support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous are highlighted as crucial tools for staying on track.
As the episode winds down, Joey shares his quirky plan to podcast every night for a week to make up for lost time and ends with a light-hearted tip on self-care: getting a robot facial. If you're looking for an unfiltered, relatable take on navigating the holidays sober, this episode is a must-listen.
