ABOUT THE SHOW
Ever wonder what it's like to go on your first sober date? Or survive a wedding without liquid courage? How about dancing stone-cold sober or dealing with your first breakup without wine?
If so, you're in luck because you can join bestselling authors and longtime sober friends Lisa Smith and Anna David as they talk to guests—and each other—about addiction and recovery, including all the “firsts” that come with sober living. From awkward to amazing, cringe-worthy to surprisingly poignant, they’re discussing what it’s like to experience life without substances.
Anna wrote the novel Party Girl, which has been widely credited as having sparked the early “Quit Lit” movement, while Lisa is the author of the award-winning memoir Girl Walks Out of a Bar. Together, they explore the real-life moments behind the kinds of stories that shape how people understand recovery.
