An illustration of a group of five people gathered outside at dusk socializing with beverages in their hands. In the foreground are two people standing close to a fire: one is holding a red Solo cup, and the other is holding a white cup that appears to be filled with water. In the background is a group of three people: two are holding red Solo cups, and one is holding a water bottle. At the top right of the illustration is the text 鈥淪obered.鈥�

Anita has not participated in a Dry January, but there are times when she's motivated to pay extra-close attention to her relationship with alcohol. Most recently: during the pandemic. While some of us started drinking more, another group of folks committed to sober curiosity: a movement encouraging introspection about your relationship with alcohol. She meets two people who are years into building sober lives and asks them to reflect on how their sobriety journeys have shaped everything from relationships to thoughts about the future.

Meet the guests:

, co-host of the 鈥溾€� podcast and host of 鈥溾€� podcast talks about choosing sobriety at age 23
, co-host of 鈥溾€� podcast who is writing a book called 鈥淒ry Humping: A Guide to Booze-Free Sex, Dating and Relationships," shares what it was like to become sober after years working as a bartender
