The Sober Mom Life

If you’ve been going back and forth on sobriety, this episode is for you.

Erin Washington, the host of ThERINpy, is 28 days sober. She’s on her third Dry January, and for the first time it feels…easy! While she’s not ready to commit to a sober life, she is definitely ready to commit to ‘not drinking today’ and she’s excited to see what can unfold from here.

We get deep into the nitty gritty of how her aversion to restriction has kept her drinking in the years since she recovered from disordered eating. Erin shares all of the things that currently feel challenging in sobriety (social situations, dating, an intense sweet tooth. Sound familiar?). Plus, Erin will share the exact brand of NA wine that is SO good it has made her believe she could possibly give up alcohol for good.

2026 has so far been...kind of shitty.

We’re sold a lie that alcohol will hold your hand through hard moments. That’s all bullshit. Yes, there will still be hard stuff and days where everything feels like it’s going wrong. But believe me when I say - facing those challenges with a sober mind is a gift.

I’m on Spring Break this week! If you’re gearing up for your first sober vacation - just know it is so worth it. I wrote more about sober vacations on Substack. Plus, check out my past podcast episode on Your Guide to a Sober Vacation.

Sobriety coach Sara Kaufman-Bradstreet is six and a half years alcohol-free, one and a half years cannabis-free, and has never lost her excitement for a sober life.

Today, Sara shares the story of how she ditched alcohol hand-in-hand with her husband, how cannabis became a crutch in her alcohol-free life and when she realized that it was time to also ditch that, the lessons she’s learned quitting one substance at a time, and the freedom and self connection she has found within sobriety.

My first sober vacation was a pivotal moment in my sobriety journey. It was the first time that I really felt that I was making a different choice for myself. Was it challenging? Yes. Was it worth it? Absolutely! Nothing feels better than waking up on a beautiful vacation morning with no hangover because you didn’t drink the night before.

Delanie Fischer joins the pod today to talk all about identity shifts. She’s had a lot of them, from leaving her life as a comedian and reinventing herself into a new career as a podcaster, writer and NSFW mug maker (more on that in the episode!), to getting sober as part of her overall goal of living a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle.

Delanie is the co-host of the top rated podcast Self-Helpless and the author of the absolutely wonderful mocktail book, Mocktales.
