Sex, Sobriety, and 'Sex and the City': Jack and Meredith's Take

At this point a lot of my friends are sober, you know, like a lot of them are. But like, there's a lot of ideas that people have about alcoholics and about addicts that are pretty close minded, I don't give a shit.

In this episode of 'Sobriety Sucks', hosts Jack and Meredith dive into the 'Sex and the City' episode 'Was It Good For You' to tackle this very question. With their trademark blend of humor and honesty, they unpack the complexities of dating and intimacy when you're sober. It's not just about avoiding the booze; it's about navigating a world that often glamorizes relapse and stereotypes.
