Imagine deciding to quit drinking and turning that decision into a movement that helps thousands of women. That's exactly what journalist Kate Bee did. On April 6, 2013, she quit drinking and started a blog to document her experiences.

Host Jean McCarthy, who was one of the first to comment on Kate's blog, reconnects with her to discuss the ups and downs of giving up alcohol and the cultural pressures that make it so challenging. Kate opens up about the resources that helped her, from sober memoirs to AA meetings, and emphasizes the importance of self-reflection and seeking support.
She also talks about redefining social norms around drinking and how The Sober School has evolved to become a beacon of hope for many. Whether you're struggling with alcohol or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and a message of hope.
