  Breaking Free: How Sports and Culture Shape Alcohol Habits

  Jul 9, 20261h 10mS2

  In this episode, I sit down with Anne Skriba — college basketball coach, certified life coach, and co-host of the Clean Play Podcast — to talk about her journey from a Midwest sports upbringing to getting sober. We get into how drinking culture gets baked into you early, especially when sports are part of your life, and how Anne started questioning her relationship with alcohol after years of it hiding in plain sight. I loved this conversation because it's not just about her story — it's about the emotional triggers, the loneliness, the identity questions that come up when you start peeling back the layers. We also talk about what actually helped her: therapy, harm reduction, and finding real community. If you've ever wondered whether sobriety means losing yourself or finally finding yourself, this one's for you.
