Do You Need AA to Get Sober?

from Drunk-ish - A Sobriety Podcast · host Stefanie Wilder-Taylor

Stefanie decided to take a week off from guest stories to argue about AA with her friend Tamara Mello, who is sober but also takes the occasional gummy, which according to some corners of Sober Facebook means she is not sober, which means she should probably turn in her badge. Wait, nobody gave her a badge. That's the whole problem. They talk about the imaginary sober rule book nobody can find, the 17-cups-of-coffee defense, the people who think antidepressants are cheating, and Stefanie's full-body confession about the time she got nitrous oxide at the dentist and spent the whole drive home wondering if her sober friends would judge her. To follow (and connect with) Tamara go to her IG @TamaraMelloCheck out her amazing jewelry collection at Etsy.com/shop/GreyByTamaraMello
