Description: In this episode, I sit down with Sarah Levy, author of “Drinking Games,” to talk about her journey to becoming sober and how drinking played a role in her life up through her twenties. Sarah shares how her relationship with alcohol evolved over time, how hustle culture in New York affected her drinking habits, and why multiple stints of moderation and abstinence didn’t work. She also discusses how her drinking affected her friendships, what happened when she experienced a “final straw” moment, and how she got sober. Finally, Sarah shares advice for people with friends who struggle with alcohol, provides her own recovery toolkit for maintaining sobriety, and discusses how motherhood and sobriety continue to shape her.Key Takeaway / Points:On Sarah’s book “Drinking Games”Sarah’s relationship with alcohol growing up and how it evolved over timeSarah’s progression with alcohol in college and lacking quantity controlOn being aware of addictive tendenciesOn moving to New York and being swept up in hustle cultureOn having multiple stints of moderating and abstaining from alcoholOn experiencing a “final straw” momentHow Sarah’s drinking affected her friendshipsHow Sarah got soberOn dating as a sober personAdvice for people with friends who struggle with alcoholOn motherhood and sobrietySarah’s recovery toolkit for maintaining sobrietyOn mommy wine cultureOn having a partner who drinksCheck out Sarah’s book “Drinking Games” hereThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.
