Welcome to Dry Humor — the podcast for anyone who realized alcohol was taking more than it was giving… and decided to do something about it.
Your host, Audrey will talk about life on the other side of alcohol — the awkward social stuff, the surprising clarity, the identity crises, and yes… the moments that are actually pretty damn funny.
Listen in on open conversations with real people who decided to put down the drink and pick up, well… everything else. The good, the bad, the funny, the boring, and the unexpectedly great.
Because let’s be honest — sobriety doesn’t have to be all deep quotes and green juice. Sometimes it’s just figuring out how to dance at a wedding without a margarita in your hand.
This is Dry Humor, where we find levity in sobriety.
Because if we can’t laugh about it… what are we even doing?

84. JUST THE TIP: What Are You Rewarding Yourself With?
We spend so much time convincing ourselves that alcohol is a reward... but what happens when the thing we're rewarding ourselves with is actually taking more than it's giving?
This episode explores how drinking becomes tied to everything from surviving a stressful day to celebrating a big win. When alcohol has been the go-to reward for so long, removing it can feel like giving something up. But what if it's actually an opportunity to figure out what makes us feel good in the first place?
From recognizing old habits to creating new rituals, this conversation is about redefining what it means to treat yourself. Whether it's rest, connection, excitement, or simply having something to look forward to, the best rewards are the ones that don't come with a price tag the next morning.
This episode is for anyone who's questioning their relationship with alcohol, navigating sobriety, or learning how to find joy in the little things again.

83. Leaving the After-Work Beers Behind with Richard
When drinking is just a part of the work culture, what does it take to be the one who walks away?
Richard, the creator behind @sobertradesman, shares how nightly craft beers gradually became a routine that was taking more from his life than he realized. From the normalization of alcohol in the trades to the impact drinking had on his mental health, Richard opens up about what ultimately led him to choose sobriety.
Through fitness, creativity, community, and accountability, Richard began building a life that no longer revolved around alcohol. His story explores the power of changing everyday habits, finding purpose in new places, and discovering how much more life has to offer when drinking is no longer part of the equation.
This episode is for anyone who's ever questioned their relationship with alcohol, felt caught in a culture where drinking is the norm, or wondered what life could look like on the other side.

82. JUST THE TIP: How Do You Say No to a Drink?
Saying "no" to a drink might sound simple, but those two little letters can carry a surprising amount of complexity.
From people-pleasing and social pressure to the anxiety of having to explain why you're not drinking, declining alcohol can feel like a heavy lift. But perhaps it's not as complicated as we sometimes make it. This episode explores how to navigate those uncomfortable moments with practical ways to say "no", handle persistent peer pressure, and set boundaries without turning a personal decision into a debate.
Whether you're sober, newly sober, or sober curious, learning to say "no" is something that gets easier with practice. Every time you stand behind your decision, you're building confidence, self-trust, and the freedom to feel more comfortable in your own sober skin.
This episode is for anyone who wants to navigate social situations with the confidence to say "no" and stand behind their decision.
