Sobriety's Unspoken Topics: Keisha and Nadine's Honest Chat
We don't need alcohol to have fun. If you are just craving that beer taste, and you just need to cleanse your palate like a non-alcoholic option.
Ever wondered about the less talked-about aspects of sobriety? In this episode of 'Done with Debauchery', Keisha Scott teams up with Nadine Mulvina to dive into some of the most debated topics in the sober community. Originally aired on 'The Sober Butterfly Podcast', this re-released episode brings a mix of laughter and deep conversation right to your ears.
Keisha and Nadine tackle three hot-button issues: non-alcoholic drinks, the concept of being 'Cali sober', and the difference between being a 'dry drunk' versus achieving emotional sobriety. Non-alcoholic drinks can be a lifesaver for some, offering a way to enjoy social situations without the buzz. But for others, even a hint of alcohol can be a slippery slope. Keisha and Nadine share their own experiences and opinions, making it clear that there's no one-size-fits-all answer.
Then there's 'Cali sober'—a term for those who abstain from alcohol but still use substances like cannabis or psychedelics. This topic is a bit of a minefield, with strong opinions on both sides. The hosts stress the importance of self-awareness and regularly checking in with oneself when navigating these choices. Finally, they explore what it means to be a 'dry drunk'—someone who has quit drinking but hasn't dealt with the emotional baggage that often accompanies addiction.
Emotional sobriety, on the other hand, involves a deeper level of self-reflection and personal growth. Keisha and Nadine's discussion is both candid and humorous, offering valuable insights while keeping things light-hearted. If you're curious about these controversial topics or just looking for some honest conversation about sobriety, this episode is a must-listen.
