Babstinence: One Woman. One Year. No Booze.

I’ve been taking off Nov-Jan from drinking, with a few exceptions in Dec-a couple drinks only on Bday and Xmas party. It’s nice to be able to listen to a reasonable person like Babs, who takes time and effort to share her experiences not drinking. She’s pretty funny and honest and I’m gonna keep listening. Thanks Babs! Jeremy

Babs this podcast came out shortly before I tried to seriously cut alcohol out of my life (again lol) so thank you for this !!! Really a wonderful gift you give in your vulnerability about alcohol and how one can relate to it. You have wonderful guests on too! Super relatable and smart! Love this pod so much !!!

Love listening to your journey 💛

Needs a disclaimer that this is one person’s experience and should in no way be considered instruction or advice. And no disrespect meant to Ms. Gray for creating an outlet to talk about the emotions stirred up by attempt to reckon with her drinking, but DOING stuff related to sobriety is a much bigger feature of recovery than talking about it. Those embarking on a similar quest and hoping for continued success should look elsewhere, or should use this as an supplemental resource *only.* Also: smoking pot is NOT sober by any reasonable measure — it’s just altering your mood with a different substance — and if you drink alcohol, you reset your count — it doesn’t matter if you get drunk or not!
