Telling Co-Workers You Are Sober. (Is This a Good Idea?)

Episode #17: You don’t owe anyone an explanation—but if you give one, don’t overthink it.

Damon Frank and George Snyder break down one of the biggest early sobriety questions: Should I tell people I’m in recovery—and how?

From polite refusals at holiday parties to that awkward feeling days after sharing something personal, this conversation covers it all. Damon and George remind us of a crucial truth: people are thinking about themselves 24/7. So stop replaying the moment on loop. You said what you needed to say—and that’s enough.
