About This Podcast
Your Not-Drunk Friend was founded in 2025 with the goal of helping coach substance abuse classes to assist people on their sober journey. This podcast, featuring the founder of YN-DF, and three of his closest friends will dive deep into their journeys, stories, and what is working for them. Dane, Julie, Lance, and Olivia share weekly insights, updates, and tools to help anyone - whether on day one or 1,000 days sober- on their quest to kick their drug of choice. Or as Dane and Julie call it "drug of no choice."
Come on in, all are welcome.
