In this episode of 'The Unashamed Alcoholic', Becca sits down with writer and stand-up comedian Ginny Hogan to explore just that.

Ginny opens up about how quitting alcohol not only saved her life but also boosted her career.

Her stand-up gigs in LA became a source of support, with fellow comedians cheering her on in her journey to stay sober. She talks about the surprising changes in her personal life post-sobriety, including how her relationships and taste in people evolved for the better. But it’s not all laughs and giggles; Ginny also dives into the serious side of recovery. She discusses how AA meetings and online support groups have been crucial in maintaining her sobriety.
One of the most touching parts of the conversation is when Ginny talks about how proud she is to show her kids that you don’t need alcohol to enjoy life. If you’re looking for an episode that combines heartfelt honesty with a sprinkle of humor, this chat with Ginny Hogan is a must-listen.
