Today's episode is a follow-up to Sam's original sober curious episode, where she talks about why and how she stopped drinking alcohol (definitely listen to that one first—it's episode #4 for anyone who wants to go back and listen!). In this episode, Sam takes the most frequently asked audience questions, and answers them in a long, rambly fashion. On brand.

Listen to this episode if you want to hear about how Sam's sober journey is going one year in, or if you're interested in taking some time off from alcohol and want to know more about the experience before making the call.
