Sober Jam Session with Dylan Haas

Alcohol Tipping Point

This podcast has been a long time coming. Years really. I first met Dylan Haas when I started taking BodyJam dance classes at the YMCA. He was my favorite instructor, and I had a sort of adulation of him and his wife at the time. Little did I know of the private vs. public personas of both, I just thought they were super rad.

Fast forward through their personal tragedies and I rediscovered Dylan on his podcast- Fun in Sobriety. I was fascinated by hearing from people who had recovered from their drinking problems. I was still struggling with my own drinking. I wasn’t at rock bottom and seemed just like your typical wine mom on the outside. Inside though, I knew I had a problem. I didn't know many people who got sober, and I felt like my only options were AA and inpatient rehab, which I did not want to go to. I devoured Dylan’s interviews with local people in recovery. I told myself- one day, I'm going to be sober and I'm going to share my story on Dylan's podcast. I did get sober- nontraditionally and with the help of online groups and paradigm shifting nontraditional routes like Annie Grace's This Naked Mind. I got so freaking sober that now I help other people practice not drinking.

Dylan stopped doing his podcast and he dropped off my radar. A couple of months ago, I saw a flier at my daughter's counselor office. It was for a substance abuse support group hosted by Dylan! This felt like a sign to reach out to Dylan and do that podcast interview.

Please enjoy this conversation with Dylan Haas, sober dad, engineer, “comedian,” and counselor in training.
