I don't talk all the time about recovery. My recovery is just part of my daily life and it really applies more to my mental health more than now. It's not like I don't stop drinking alcohol. I just don't care anymore, which is kind of a miraculous in and of itself.
Imagine a world where you can enjoy social gatherings without the pressure to drink alcohol. That's the vision Laura Silverman, founder of Zero Proof Nation and Booze Free in DC, is working towards. In this episode of 'Recovery Rocks', hosts Lisa Smith and Tawny Lara sit down with Laura to chat about the booming culture of non-alcoholic beverages and the push for inclusivity in social spaces.
Laura, a long-time friend of the hosts, opens up about her personal journey to sobriety and how it led her to become a passionate advocate for alcohol-free options. She shares her experiences from the recent World Alcohol Free Awards in London, where she served as a judge, and discusses the importance of normalizing non-alcoholic consumption. But it’s not just about the drinks. Laura’s mission extends to creating a welcoming environment for everyone, regardless of their drinking choices.
She talks about her latest project—a comprehensive directory of alcohol-free establishments—that aims to make finding non-alcoholic options easier for everyone. Music also plays a significant role in Laura's recovery journey. The episode features a 'Music Minute' where Laura discusses how bands like Dispatch and Regina Spektor have influenced her path to sobriety. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or simply curious about the growing non-alcoholic beverage scene, this episode offers a refreshing take on living an alcohol-free life.
Tune in for an inspiring conversation that highlights the importance of inclusivity and the joy of discovering new, alcohol-free experiences.
