Episode 126: Episode 126: Summertime and More Zero-Proof Drinks

Summer is here, and with it comes a slew of potential triggers for those in recovery—think vacations, BBQs, and the ever-tempting day drinking. In this episode of 'Recovery Rocks', co-hosts Lisa Smith and Tawny Lara get real about the challenges summer brings. They break down how to navigate events and activities that might otherwise push you towards a drink. Will there be something fun to do, or is it just an excuse for others to drink?

If it's the latter, Lisa and Tawny say it's okay to give it a hard pass. But it’s not all about avoiding pitfalls. The duo also dives into the world of zero-proof drinks, offering a refreshing alternative for those who want to enjoy a beverage without the booze. They share some personal favorites and even dish out some fantastic discounts on certain non-alcoholic beverages.

And because it wouldn’t be 'Recovery Rocks' without a nod to music, this episode’s Music Minute features tracks from Katy Perry, Talking Heads, and Stone Temple Pilots. Plus, they have a fun chat about 'mondegreens'—those hilarious moments when you mishear song lyrics. Whether you're new to sobriety or a seasoned pro, this episode is packed with practical tips and light-hearted moments to help you sail through summer without a hitch.

Tune in for advice on making smart choices and finding joy in zero-proof alternatives.
