      <itunes:summary>In this episode, Lacey speaks to Douglas Watters, the owner of brand new boozeless bottle shop Spirited Away about the new language we&apos;re using for non-alcoholic drinks and about how these drinks have gotten WAY more sophisticated in taste than AF OGs O&apos;Doul&apos;s and Martinelli&apos;s (though all respect to O&apos;Doul&apos;s and Martinelli&apos;s). They also ponder the purpose of these types of beverages if there&apos;s no alcohol in them and Douglas gives some great drink recommendations for occasions where people would normally consume something alcoholic. </itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>This week Lacey spoke to Brian Lady and Nick Robideau, a creative couple who have survived an experience of living with active addiction-Brian through meetings and Intensive Out-Patient,  Nick through Al-Anon, and both with therapy. Nick is a playwright and wrote a play called Against the Flesh about his emotional experience of being in a relationship with someone with addiction.  They spoke with Lacey about the progression of their relationship, from Brian&apos;s use and Nick&apos;s response to it, to them eventually both seeking help. They also talk about the creative side of their story-about Nick&apos;s process of writing his play and Brian&apos;s response to reading it for the first time.

      <itunes:subtitle>This week Lacey spoke to Brian Lady and Nick Robideau, a creative couple who have survived an experience of living with active addiction-Brian through meetings and Intensive Out-Patient,  Nick through Al-Anon, and both with therapy. Nick is a playwright and wrote a play called Against the Flesh about his emotional experience of being in a relationship with someone with addiction.  They spoke with Lacey about the progression of their relationship, from Brian&apos;s use and Nick&apos;s response to it, to them eventually both seeking help. They also talk about the creative side of their story-about Nick&apos;s process of writing his play and Brian&apos;s response to reading it for the first time.
