• Why we prioritize honest conversation over textbook advice
• Mental health and trauma as core parts of addiction recovery
• D diagnosis and untangling substance use from underlying struggles
• Questions we explore like daily life alcohol-free and staying motivated
• Navigating loneliness and social awkwardness in a drinking culture
• Considering AA and other paths to recovery support
