The Sober Shift with Suzanne Warye

If you’ve ever drafted a list of moderation rules — no drinks on Tuesdays, only wine, never tequila — you know the quiet contortion act that props up a relationship with alcohol. In our conversation with creator and author Suzanne Warye, those rules get exposed for what they are: a workaround keeping the real question at bay. Not “How can I drink right?” but “What if alcohol isn’t a privilege at all?”  

SPEAK OUT! SPEAK LOUD!

The Only Black Girl in Rehab | Lisa Crump

I walked into rehab carrying more than a bag of clothes. I carried the silence of generations. The kind of silence you only know if you grew up Black, where therapy was for white folks and rehab was a word you never dared to say out loud.

Sober Celeb of the Week: Denzel Washington

Denzel Washington has been sober for nearly ten years, having given up alcohol when he turned 60. While wine had become a “very tricky” vice for him — luxury tastings, expensive bottles and a tendency to order more than was healthy — he came to recognize the cumulative effects of those years. Now, approaching 70, he reflects on the damage done, but seems at peace with this “last chapter” of his journey.

“The Bear's” Genetic Truth: Why Television's Most Authentic Addiction Story Isn't Really About Food

There's a moment in Season 2 of “The Bear” that stopped me cold.

I realized I wasn't just watching exceptional television.

My Life as a Female Drug Dealer Just Trying to Support My Habit

I never dreamed of becoming a low-level female drug dealer in small-town America. Yet after my home was raided and my record destroyed my chances of employment, I felt trapped. With nowhere willing to hire me, and drowning in addiction, dealing seemed like my only option.

I wasn’t just selling drugs — I was selling off pieces of my soul. I wrapped myself in an emotional armor so thick even I could no longer break through it. For over two decades, I played the part of someone fearless, surviving a world where trust meant vulnerability and vulnerability meant danger.
