Episode Details

Parenting can be one of the toughest jobs out there, and for many, alcohol can become an easy crutch to lean on when the stress piles up. In this episode, I sit down with two fellow sober dads to explore the challenges and rewards of parenting while moderating or eliminating alcohol. We dive into different perspectives on sobriety and how it intersects with fatherhood, sharing our own experiences and lessons learned along the way. 

Whether you’re sober, soberish, or simply curious about the impact of alcohol on parenting, this episode brings together multiple viewpoints to offer insight, support, and encouragement for your own parenting journey.
