I think, like the language around it, might make people clutch their pearls a little bit and go, you're using that word. And anybody who asks me, I'm not afraid, I'm not shy, I'm not whatever, I don't, I don't worry about, like the jokes, the silliness, that's complete, immature and just not even appropriate, ridiculous.
What happens when a DJ who's been on the airwaves since 1999 and a podcast host passionate about sobriety sit down for a chat? You get an enlightening conversation that breaks down barriers and challenges societal norms. In this episode of 'The Unashamed Alcoholic', Becca welcomes Dylan Black, a well-known DJ from Boom 99.7 in Ottawa.

Dylan's involvement in community and charity events adds another layer to the discussion. He talks about how giving back has enriched his life and provided a sense of purpose. The conversation touches on the pressures to drink, the importance of language in discussing addiction, and the value of living authentically. Becca and Dylan's dialogue is not just about sobriety; it's about embracing who you are and finding fulfillment beyond alcohol.
They discuss how recovery can lead to a meaningful and joyful life, debunking the myth that being an alcoholic means living a tragic existence. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding different perspectives on alcohol use and addiction. Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about the topic, Dylan's insights offer valuable takeaways.
