But the story doesn't end there. She also shares the unexpected joys and new traditions she discovered, like singing on stage with her favorite band—a moment she would have missed if she were still drinking. Carey and Tricia delve into deeper topics too, like why people often turn to alcohol and how societal norms can pressure us into drinking.

They also touch on the importance of a supportive, non-judgmental community in recovery. As the episode wraps up, Carey talks about her future plans, including organizing a sober pop-up event and working with youth programs focused on recovery.
