Chapter 1: What is the significance of being sober?
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Girl, how are you doing? I am good, actually. But I am good because I just hit 50 days of being sober. Oh. What is that roaring round of applause? Oh. People falling to their knees. Great. Yeah. But I will say, the thing about sobriety that is difficult, I thought that going out would feel harder, but it actually is totally normal and fine.
I thought that would be more difficult for me. Mm-hmm. And I love to judge. So I love to watch people act a fool. And I also still act a fool, but just more conscious of the way I'm doing it. But the thing that is hard is like, I have only been ordering soda water bitters and I'm done. Oh, yeah. And the soda water and bitters combo. It tastes like dirt.
I'm like, why are we doing this to ourselves if we have other options? I'm not into mocktails because I don't want to pay $15 for juice.
Juice, yeah. Juice. Let's say it.
So I started trying some non-alcoholic spritzes. I went down the kin. My name is Bella Hadid Road. And that's not my girl. Maybe with some lime. Again, it's giving glorified juice. I guess it's good for like if you want to calm your nerves or whatever. And then I'm like on this journey and this hunt, I tried the Gia. Have you tried Gia?
Yeah.
Okay. The bottle, the like big glass bottle.
The bottle is like sparkling, right? It's like fizzy. Kind, no.
Oh. There might be a fizzy version of it, but the original one, and I say this with so much love and respect in my heart, tastes like licking the floor. Tastes like dirt. Yeah. But, and I'm so sorry to the Ghia girls. I think that they're great people and the bottle is beautiful. But I did try the canned version.

Chapter 2: What are the challenges of sobriety in social settings?
I have started, honestly, I don't even know why I started watching, a little show called The Pit.
I have to say I know why I started watching.
Because I said, or because Sarah. No, Meg.
I have to give credit where credit is due. In my breakup, Meg was like, maybe just get your head out of the game and like, out of the game, and watch The Pit. And at that time, I was so broken down bad. I was like, not now, Meg. Our friend Meg Zukan. Who we love and adore. Yes. But I was like, stop trying to push this show on me. Like, this is not the part of healing I'm on.
And then I came up for air and I pressed play and I had to apologize to her for holding back. I should have hopped into the pit sooner.
Oh, it is so good. Okay. Let me tell you the logline for people who are not pit-pilled, pitified already. Yes. Pitified. Okay. Quote, So every episode on this show is an hour in the workday of an emergency room in Pittsburgh starring Noah Weil as Dr. Rabinowitz or Dr. Robbie. Mm-hmm. So basically it is a little television program called ER. Right. But set in present day.
And let me tell you this, they do more ketamine on this show than a club in Bushwick. Like, oh my God, every possible medical malady, 30 cc's ketamine, please. Right.
Okay, you phrased that, though, as if the doctors are railing ketamine. And I was like, wait.
Maybe so. Well, and we'll talk about that more later because I have questions. Let me say, spoiler alert, if you haven't watched, like, you need to clock in, lock in. But, yeah, we're going to be spoiling some stuff.
