Judi and Amanda catch up on how they’ve been navigating celebrations without alcohol, defining bargaining, and avoiding relapse. Listen for some tips on planning ahead for vacations and celebrations so you don’t cave, why we need to be careful not to replace alcohol with other addictions, and hear Judi and Amanda’s favorite non-alcoholic drinks that you’ll want to crack open this summer, whether you’re sober or not!  

Today on Yes, And:

  • Navigating celebrations and parties while living alcohol-free
  • Living in a culture where we’re bombarded with alcohol in media
  • Best practices for celebrating and vacationing sober 
  • Ways we justify and bargain with ourselves
  • What victory laps are and how to apply them to sobriety
  • The best alcohol-free beverages you’ll want to try

Top 3 relevant quotes:

  1. It isn’t a party, it isn’t a celebration, it isn’t fun unless somebody’s holding a can or a bottle. The messages are everywhere.
  2. You realize alcohol is the only drug you have to explain quitting.
  3. People prescribe change to others all the time, right? Like, “You should do this”. You know what? It’s impossible to change yourself, so please don’t prescribe change to another human being.
