Ep 9 – The Pros and Cons of Sobriety
This week, Bobby and Betty get real about life on the sober side. No sugar-coating, no preachy stuff—just an honest, messy, and hilarious dive into what’s actually good, bad, and awkward about not drinking. From sharper mornings to awkward social moments, we spill the tea on what sobriety has done for our heads, bodies, and our relationship (hello, healing... and a potato being thrown) over the last 9 months. Whether you're sober-curious or many months deep, this one's for you.

In this episode, we chat all about the pros and cons of sobriety—how it’s helped us grow individually and as a couple, and what we still find tough. Expect laughs, honesty, and some good ol' DryWaffle reflection. We cover:
- The unexpected perks (like remembering what we said last night 🙃)
- The tough bits (why do all social events feel like a drinking test?!)
- How sobriety brought us closer… and why that’s not always comfortable
- Identity, purpose, and dealing with feelings instead of drowning them

⭐ Key Takeaways
In this episode, we reflect on our nine-month sobriety journey, highlighting both challenges and benefits.
- Clarity is a superpower: Being sober helps you show up as your real self—with energy, intention, and way less regret.
- Sobriety brings connection—but it’s not always easy: We’ve grown closer, but we’ve also had to face harder truths about ourselves and each other without the numbing buffer of booze.
- Social situations can be weird at first: From navigating parties to explaining why you're not drinking, it’s a journey—and sometimes an awkward one.
- You’re forced to feel… and that’s actually good: Emotions, triggers, and past patterns all come up when you’re sober—but feeling them is what brings healing.
- Not drinking doesn’t mean missing out—it means making room: We’ve discovered new hobbies, deeper conversations, and yes, earlier bedtimes.
