You’re Sober, Now What? Overcoming Romanticizing Thoughts About Alcohol

On this episode of the “Now What?!” Society Podcast, Tamar and Lane answer another listener’s question about overcoming the romanticizing thoughts we have about alcohol.

Topics Discussed:

  • Should we travel to locations that remind us of our drinking?
  • Does it matter that we always think about drinking?
  • Getting sober again after a relapse.

Just Ask Us! We love to have fun on the show, and we encourage our listeners to be a part of that conversation! Do you have a specific question, topic or a “would you rather” question you’d like us to talk about on the show?

THE NOW WHAT SOCIETY: Meet Tamar Medford & Lane Kennedy, hosts of the podcast, The Now What Society, and Founders of The Now What Academy. They created The Now What Society so “tired, fed up” Gen X women could come together and live their best lives without compromise! Tamar Medford and Lane Kennedy share their life experiences and hilarious adventures as two women living in long-term recovery. (Which is often messy!) With over 35 years of continuous sobriety, Tamar & Lane support women over 40 who have hit the f*ck it button and find themselves asking WTF! Now What?
