The one that leaves you feeling like you could take on the entire world in your new found sobriety?! Yeah.. same. Your body & brain are adjusting to these new feelings of joy & euphoria.. but unfortunately, at some point, the jig is up and shit starts to get hard again. Katy & Kaylee are passing along some nuggets to help sustain the energy, and bliss. It’s so so important to have the tools to reinforce your sobriety and to make this sober thing as sustainable as possible.

In this episode, Kaylee and Katy recall their binge drinking activities from yesteryear (teens & early 20's) including being nearly boiled to death in a hot tub, and club-hopping in a different country.  Katy and Kaylee also dive into the normalization of college-age binge drinking and not knowing your limits, to later on not wanting to be other-ed when friends seemed to be aging out of heavy drinking. From wanting to be "that" girl, to not wanting to be that girl.  Links:  Reframe App - Code KATY for 10% off  High Street Tonics - Code DRYHARD for 10% off  Therapy Jeff 

In this episode, Katy & Kaylee welcome DryHard's first EVER guest, and one of our very favorite story tellers, Vince Marucci @magicmarblez aka "Packgod"  Vince is local to Eugene, OR and works in the ever-evolving Cannabis industry. We have been friends for over a decade, but have really connected in sobriety. Vince has ben AF for 200 days..he isn't keeping track, which is so cool, but we forced a number out of him.  In this episode, Vince gives us the rundown on his break up with alcohol. We cover topics ranging from grief, the importance of community, and relationship with self. If you do one thing today..go follow Vince on IG. Pure Gold @margicmarblez. 

In this episode, Katy & Kaylee discuss their growth in sobriety as they reflect on where they started with Episode 1 of DryHard to where they are now, on Episode 15!  Katy was recently the Designated Driver for a friend's 30th birthday and decided that role is not for her, but she might have magical powers. Kaylee is trying to convince herself that she deserves good things, and that a huge disappointment or a zombie apocalypse isn't always around the corner. 

In this episode, Katy and Kaylee talk about Big Alcohol, the billion-dollar industry that keeps us sick & playing small.  We go wayyyy back to when alcohol was first introduced into our lives by means of advertising, media and free swag. Kaylee recalls exposure at a young age, and lived with a parent in the industry...and all Katy can remember is Mountain Dew and Crown Royal bags. 

In this episode, Katy and Kaylee discuss how they navigate friendships and social settings, both before and after sobriety. Do drunken secrets, codependency, and zero boundaries ring a bell? (Trigger Warning: Self Harm)  We are exploring the time it takes to explore our newfound sober social life. How do we spend time with friends in sobriety and what can our drinking friends do to be supportive?    

In this episode, Katy and Kaylee discuss the two big B's... Booze & Bodies. Follow along as they explore the correlations between believing in themselves enough to stop the blackouts, as well as the negative talk/shame cycle.  This episode covers our relationships with food, our bodies, and how drinking plays a part in some unhealthy narratives. (TW: Disordered Eating & Body Dismorphia)  It's important that we cover some actionable steps we can take towards loving our WHOLE selves and how to start feeling neutral about our bodies, if not positive about our bodies. 

In this episode, Katy and Kaylee discuss New Year's resolutions and the dilemma of waking up on January 1st with the expectation of achieving all of the goals, with no plan of action or real resources.  DryHardPod is heading into the New Year with a couple of new intentions, habits to back them up, and resources to lean on when an "off day" eventually happens. We also have a little surprise for our listeners at the end of this episode. ;)
