Sobriety doesn't make sex boring; it can make it even more special because you're fully present and know what you want.
Ever wondered how sobriety can change your perspective on sex and relationships? In this episode, Pete Sousa sits down with Tawny Lara, a New York City-based writer and host of the Recovery Rocks Podcast. Tawny's unique take on the intersection of sobriety and sex has been featured in major publications like Playboy, Men’s Health, and Huffington Post.
But what truly sets her apart is her nearly six-year journey of sobriety that started not with a dramatic downfall but with a simple realization in a pub. She noticed the irony of complaining about not having enough time to write while spending countless hours drinking. This moment of clarity marked the beginning of her sober journey on November 30th, 2015.
Tawny's story takes us through her high school years of substance use, heavy drinking during her time in the Waco bar scene, and how these experiences impacted her emotional and mental health. She also opens up about her family's history with alcoholism and trauma, shedding light on how these factors influenced her path to sobriety. One of the most intriguing parts of the conversation is Tawny's take on sober sex.
Contrary to popular belief, she argues that sobriety doesn't make sex boring. Instead, it allows for deeper connections and greater confidence. She emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, open communication, and exploring personal desires. Pete and Tawny also discuss the challenges of navigating social situations and relationships while sober, highlighting the need for a supportive community. Through her writing and podcast, Tawny aims to break societal stigmas around sobriety and sex, offering valuable insights for anyone on a similar journey.
Tune in for an honest and eye-opening discussion that challenges stereotypes and encourages open conversations about these often-taboo topics.
