đź“ť Episode Show Notes
It’s a birthday special on DryWaffle! 🎂 In this episode, Bobby & Betty dive into what it means to celebrate milestones while sober. We explore:
- How Betty planned her first sober birthday
- Letting go of old traditions that revolved around alcohol
- Creating new, meaningful rituals (think fresh air, good food, and actual memories)
- How to handle the FOMO when you see others still partying the old way
- Why sober joy is quieter, deeper, and actually… better
If you’re figuring out how to do life without alcohol—especially the big, celebratory moments—this one’s packed with encouragement, ideas, and honest chat.
🧠Key Takeaways
- Sober birthdays hit different—in the best way. You actually remember them, and you wake up feeling proud.
- Celebrating doesn’t have to mean drinking—it can mean connection, calm, adventure, or just doing something that makes you feel good.
- You’re allowed to outgrow old traditions. Just because you used to go hard on your birthday doesn’t mean you have to now.
- Get creative with your joy. Nature walks, cheese boards, board games, spa days, solo cinema trips—whatever feels like you.
- Talk it through. If you’re struggling with changing how you celebrate, speak it out. You’re not boring, you’re brave.
