Coping with Loss as an Alcohol-Free 20-Something Guy w/Greyson Pihas

How One Guy in his 20s has Avoided Alcohol his Entire Life Despite Grief, Life Changes, and more.

Well hello my sweet friends and welcome to episode #84!

Today is a very special episode to me for many reasons, but I think the biggest one is that this is the first male guest I’ve interviewed here on the show. Recently I had this lightbulb moment when I realized I was doing a little bit of a disservice, with this ever-growing show, by not including the “dudes” in the conversation. So, I reached out to my very dear friend Greyson Pihas to start us off.

Greyson is a 4th year Psychology student at Arizona State, who will soon be attending George Fox University (here in Oregon) to get his master's in counseling. In his free time, Grey loves exploring things like music, creativity, athletics and health, while maintaining relationships with those around him.

Greyson and I hit on some pretty big topics such as; what it’s like to be living as someone who has never had a sip of alcohol; how habits, goals and other healthy hobbies can be life-giving substitutions for alcohol; and how to continue to stay alcohol-free while coping with enormous grief.

I truly loved our chat and was so impressed with his vulnerability and openness. I know his Mom, Heidi, was looking down on us while we spoke and must have had her big, beautiful smile spread across her face as Greyson shared his story. We miss and love you dearly, Heidi.
