  • Cheeky Cocktails & Sober Confidence: April Wachtel on Reinventing the Bar World

    Cheeky Cocktails & Sober Confidence: April Wachtel on Reinventing the Bar World
    Dec 31 2025
    This week, Alysse sits down with cocktail queen, educator, and entrepreneur April Wachtel, founder & CEO of Cheeky Cocktails—the bold, minimalist, flavor-forward mixer brand changing how we drink (with or without booze). From 20 years behind the bar to launching a brand designed to make everyone feel included, April shares stories of creativity, visibility, Saved By the Bell aesthetics, brand-building in a sober-curious era, and that time she heroically saved an event from serving mojitos made with actual oil (yes, really) . Whether you love a zero-proof marg or just want better options at the bar, this convo is deliciously inspiring. Takeaways: Inclusion drives innovation. Cheeky was created after April repeatedly felt excluded in bar environments while not drinking—so she built mixers that work for everyone . Cocktails = connection. For April, flavor, hospitality, and celebration matter more than alcohol content. Constraints spark creativity. When COVID hit, she DIY’d her brand design in hours, then later refined it via agency work—scrappiness meets strategy. Pop culture always shows up. Cheeky’s bright vibe? Think Saved by the Bell meets premium minimalism. Taste everything first. Her wildest mishap? Discovering a kitchen had prepped oil instead of simple syrup at a major event—right before 400 guests were served. Hero status unlocked.

  • Trainspotting at 30: Why This Brutal Addiction Classic Still Hits Hard

    Trainspotting at 30: Why This Brutal Addiction Classic Still Hits Hard
    Dec 24 2025
    It’s been 30 years since Trainspotting splashed into our lives with all the grit, grime, dark humor, and cultural punch that made it an instant classic. In this episode, Alysse, Tamar, and Sober Curator contributor Tony Harte take a wild, witty, and brutally honest deep dive into the most iconic addiction film ever made. From the infamous baby scene to the “Choose Life” manifesto to the worst toilet in Scotland, we unpack why Trainspotting still hits differently—especially when you watch it sober. Buckle up: this is pop culture autopsy meets sober storytelling at its finest. Takeaways: Trainspotting remains one of the most accurate depictions of addiction—messy, funny, tragic, and painfully human. Irvine Welsh’s books are even darker than the film (yes, it’s possible). Renton’s detox sequence is still one of the most iconic portrayals of withdrawal on screen. The film’s religious symbolism is subtle but rich—from “Mother Superior” to the baptism-like toilet dive. The soundtrack (Iggy Pop! Lou Reed! Underworld!) is a cultural time capsule of 90s grit and rebellion. Key Timestamps: [00:02:00] — Meet Tony Harte and his legendary Trainspotting bucket hat [00:03:00] — Why no one watches Trainspotting sober and feels nothing [00:07:00] — Ewan McGregor on-set: very much not sober [00:14:00] — The brutal reality of Tommy’s storyline [00:17:00] — The baby scene: the rawest depiction of addiction’s cost [00:23:00] — Fun fact: Trainspotting won Seattle’s Golden Space Needle Award [00:28:00] — Hidden religious symbolism throughout the film Resources & Links: Tony Harte — Sober Curator Contributor & Stoic Sobriety writer Trainspotting book review on The Sober Curator (by Tony) “Lust for Life” – The Ultimate Recovery Anthem on a Soundtrack to One of the Druggiest Films Ever Made? -Meet the Contributors -Alcohol + Substance Use Disorder Guide -Recovery Nonprofit Resource Guide -LBGTQ+ Recovery Resource Guide Connect with Us: -Website: www.thesobercurator.com -Facebook: @The Sober Curator -Instagram: @thesobercurator -X: @thesobercurator -YouTube: @thesobercurator -Pinterest: @thesobercurator Follow & Subscribe: If you enjoyed this episode, please consider leaving a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

  • Adam Nimoy on Recovery, Reconciliation & Growing Up with Spock

    Adam Nimoy on Recovery, Reconciliation & Growing Up with Spock
    Dec 17 2025
    Adam Nimoy grew up in the orbit of an icon — but his real journey was learning how to break cycles, heal resentment, and build a relationship with his father, Leonard Nimoy, that felt human rather than legendary. In this deeply honest conversation, Adam shares his path from decades of daily “wake-and-bake” to long-term sobriety, the emotional maturity he fought hard to earn, and the radical power of living amends. From Al-Anon wisdom to Hollywood weirdness to the spiritual humor woven through recovery, Adam proves that even in the shadow of Spock, you can find your own logic — and your own freedom. Hosts: Host: Alysse Bryson, Founder of The Sober Curator Co-Host: Tony Harte, Senior Sober Curator Contributor + Founder of A Stoic Sobriety Takeaways: Emotional maturity is a learnable skill — and often the key to breaking generational patterns. Recovery isn’t just for addicts; everyone is recovering from something. Living amends can heal relationships where words fall short. Acceptance ≠ approval — a vital distinction Adam learned through Al-Anon. The people who challenge us most often become our greatest teachers. Key Timestamps: [00:00] Adam on reconciling with his father — “no regrets” at Leonard’s passing. [03:00] His decision to quit weed after 30 years of daily use. [06:00] “Everyone is in recovery from something” — why recovery tools apply to all. [08:00] Acceptance vs. approval — the secret to surviving complicated parents. [14:30] Writing The Most Human and telling the full story of reconciliation. [18:00] Leonard’s “living amends” during Adam’s wife's cancer battle.
