Speaker 1: I am back with cat Madgorie. Y'all heard her on Monday.
Speaker 1: We talked about how important the journey of sobriety is,
Speaker 1: how powerful it is. She has a podcast called clear
Speaker 1: Headed Your Sober Self Care podcast. You are in host
Speaker 1: an actor, comedian. You have been in the big middle
Speaker 1: of the entertainment industry as myself. You are almost to
Speaker 1: your sobers congratulations. I am almost a hair sober and
Speaker 1: we just talked about on Monday. If you haven't listened
Speaker 1: to this episode, I highly encourage you to go back
Speaker 1: to it. We talked about all of the feelings you
Speaker 1: feel like getting sober, but the tic tick takes too
Speaker 1: when you know your bomb is about to explode and
Speaker 1: you need to change your life. How it is so
Speaker 1: scary to change your life. But then, what is on
Speaker 1: the other side of sobriety, What is on the other
Speaker 1: side of actually stepping into your full self and looking
Speaker 1: at yourself head on and claiming and owning who you
Speaker 1: are and who you're meant to be and having that
Speaker 1: just like knowing you are capable to live this incredible life.
Speaker 1: But then we also talked about triggers in dealing with them,
Speaker 1: and resources and the realness of it, and it is hard.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you wake up and you're like, this is absolutely terrible,
Speaker 1: Like I don't want to do this. So I was fine,
Speaker 1: I don't really, I don't have a problem, you know,
Speaker 1: or you might not have a problem. Maybe you're just
Speaker 1: tired of being hungover. The whole thing. We covered it.
Speaker 1: You have so much wisdom and resources and so and
Speaker 1: life experience and you did it. You're just a powerhouse
Speaker 1: showing the way, Kate, and it is so awesome to
Speaker 1: have you here. And so you're gonna talk to us
Speaker 1: a little bit today about how to raise your bar
Speaker 1: and not in life, but also like your bark cart
Speaker 1: in your house, Like how can we still have fun
Speaker 1: being sober? Let's talk about it. Oh my gosh, let's
Speaker 1: talk about it. Well, the ritual of drinking is so
Speaker 1: such a big weight in people's um choice to get sober,
Speaker 1: and I think that people really miss having a good drink.
Speaker 1: So I want to tell you about how to raise
Speaker 1: your bar in your house so that you can still
Speaker 1: have friends over, you can still do a happy hour,
Speaker 1: and it's going to actually be a happier hour because
Speaker 1: you're not gonna wake up feeling crummy. The next day. UM.
Speaker 1: Number one to a really good bar cart is go
Speaker 1: out and get some really good glassware. C you two
Speaker 1: has amazing glassware. Just treat yourself with two new special
Speaker 1: glasses that you will put on display on your bar
Speaker 1: cart that you make your non out drinks in that
Speaker 1: you love and you look forward to holding and sipping from,
Speaker 1: because really the experience of having a drink is what
Speaker 1: people miss. Um. The second thing is get a really
Speaker 1: good one to one alcohol free replacement. I love free spirits.
Speaker 1: It was crafted in um with like the palette of
Speaker 1: the spirit that it is mimicking in mind. So the
Speaker 1: tequila has the same warmth of tequila. The bourbon has
Speaker 1: the same vanilla aspect to it. Um, do you want
Speaker 1: to say that alcohol free replacements can be triggering, So
Speaker 1: if you feel like it's not your jive, then pour
Speaker 1: it out. Don't worry about it. There are tons of
Speaker 1: other uh alcohol free drinks you can can put on
Speaker 1: your bar cart that don't taste or mimic the taste
Speaker 1: of alcohol, Like can you forks ken is so great?
Speaker 1: It's ken is so good the cans and you can
Speaker 1: take it from the bar cart to the fridge. Go
Speaker 1: get a bunch of cans of some stuff like they
Speaker 1: swaw has cans, kN has cans, Surely has cans. Surely
Speaker 1: is a great alcohol free wine. You have a rose,
Speaker 1: they have a pinot, they have a sparkling m brute.
Speaker 1: That's all great, and all of these bottles just look
Speaker 1: really gorgeous on your bar cart, and you really don't
Speaker 1: feel like you're missing out on anything. You're actually gaining
Speaker 1: so much because you're gaining the memory of the night
Speaker 1: while you're sipping with friends. If you wanna go and
Speaker 1: and check out any other alcohol free alternatives, there are
Speaker 1: a couple of great sites. Buss Slants Bosson is a
Speaker 1: shop that's based in New York, but they do shipping
Speaker 1: as Boisson bo I S S O n Um. They're
Speaker 1: based in New York. They just opened a couple of
Speaker 1: shops in l A. But if you aren't in New
Speaker 1: York or l A, you can check out Better Roads
Speaker 1: b E T T E R R H O D
Speaker 1: E S. They ship all over the US, and it's
Speaker 1: an alcohol free site, so you don't have to go
Speaker 1: into bedmo passa tequila. You can just browse and knowing
Speaker 1: that everything is alcohol free, still really pretty and still
Speaker 1: will help you make a really good drink and raise
Speaker 1: the bar in your house. I love it so much.
Speaker 1: This is such an important conversation we had today. If
Speaker 1: you are anyone like really it's a youth thing, not
Speaker 1: anyone you know. If you feel like you are ready
Speaker 1: to make this change, definitely go listen to our podcast

Speaker 1: you can make the change. You can choose this. You
Speaker 1: can have this life and it is terrifying and intimidating,
Speaker 1: but also it's awesome. Like I'm almost a year sober,
Speaker 1: you're almost two years sober, and it is really really
Speaker 1: liberating to live this way. And there's a whole freaking
