In this episode, Shane dives into Chapter 3 of his book Sober Guy, How Do I: Real Answers for Men Who Want to Quit Drinking, Lead Strong, and Win at Life and answers one of the most common questions guys ask when they start getting sober: How do I stay social without alcohol?

How Do I Deal With Stress Without a Drink?

Shane Ramer is the founder and host of That Sober Guy Podcast, a culture and performance platform examining what happens when high-performing men remove alcohol and reclaim clarity, focus, and leverage.
 
Since launching the show in 2014, Shane has reached millions of listeners across 100+ countries by challenging conventional narratives around masculinity, success, and sobriety. His work sits at the intersection of identity, discipline, and modern performance.
 
Shane works privately with executives, founders, athletes, and creatives who are no longer interested in numbing high performance with low-level coping tools. His approach reframes sobriety not as healing, but as optimization, removing friction so men can operate with precision in business, health, and leadership.
 
He is also the creator of the Sober Male Index, a performance-focused data project tracking how sobriety impacts focus, productivity, income, and social dynamics in men.
 
Shane is a husband of 20 years, a father of two, and lives his work through faith, fitness, and daily discipline.
