And there are actually endless ways to have the most fun while sober? And that we can access our most playful and jo...

Sobriety often requires a shift in identity. When we get sober, we may have an identity crisis and feel like we don't know who we are if we're not a drinker. Or we might be grieving our identities as drinkers. In this episode, my mom joins me for a chat about rediscovering and redefining our identities in sobriety.
