Andy Ramage On Navigating Your First Alcohol-Free Christmas

The Christmas season is the hardest stretch of the year if you're sober, sober-curious, or just trying to drink less. Office parties. Family pressure. Christmas Eve in the pub. Boxing Day boredom. New Year's Eve hype. And the trap of telling yourself you'll fix it all in Dry January.

In this Christmas special, Dave sits down with Andy Ramage, co-founder of OYNB and author of Let's Do This, to walk through every pinch point of the festive period and give you a practical playbook for getting through it intact.

You'll hear about: how to handle Christmas parties when you're not drinking; the truth about waking up sober on Christmas morning when the kids are bouncing off the walls; honest moderation tips for people not ready to stop; how to actually enjoy New Year's Eve sober (and why it's overrated anyway); and why starting January 1st minus 10 from a December bender sets you up to fail.

Andy and Dave also dig into the awareness piece — that the slip-ups, the Never Agains, and the moderation attempts aren't failures. They're feedback.

If Christmas is the part of the year you dread, this one's for you.
