  • Solo & Sober | Living alone after quitting alcohol
    Jun 5 2025

    After about 8 months living with family and having constant distractions around me, I am finally moving into my own place again, and I'm a little scared (but mostly super excited!) Living alone used to be my sanctuary for problematic drinking, but now, I'm going to use my space to be creative and productive and become the best version of myself!

  • "You don't look like an Alcoholic"
    Jun 3 2025

    What does an alcoholic "look like" anyway? Alcohol doesn't discriminate, and people of all different backgrounds, ages, and genders can struggle with it. High-functioning, isolated drinkers can hide behind their cover for a long time, especially when they don't fit society's portrayal of an alcoholic. Let's talk about this & more in today's episode.

    May 20 2025

    I hate the phrase "I need a drink" with every fiber of my being... and that phrase is almost guaranteed to be in every movie & tv show you watch. How the media portrays alcohol has a huge impact on society, whether we realize it or not. Let's break it down in today's episode.

  • Name Change: The Sober Scoop!! Welcome :)
    May 18 2025

    Hold My Drink is now The Sober Scoop :) Starting Tuesday, all new episodes will be under the new name, so please make sure to subscribe/follow so you don't miss anything when the name changes over. Backstory on the name change below!

    ---

    Why the change?

    There is another podcast called Hold My Drink that is actually quite famous... the confusion between our two pages has already begun, so while the podcast is still new, I wanted to distinguish our show & also avoid any copyright/ trademark issues down the road. I also wanted a name with the word "sober" in it, so people could easily find it when searching for sobriety content on spotify/apple/etc. And the cherry on top... I love the name maybe even MORE than 'hold my drink.' Prepare yourself for all the ice cream puns with "scoop" haha! Anyways, thanks for being here & I hope you like the new name.
