Because it actually *is* cool.
Whenever I proselytize to my non-sober friends the benefits and joys of sobriety, they inevitably end the conversation with, “you know? Maybe I oughtta give sobriety a shot? Maybe I should take a break from drinking?”
And this only adds to my stoke!
Truly, I am convinced that bringing the JOY of sobriety to the masses is what will help tip the conversation on dependency and addiction. Sobriety is incredibly personal and, it’s important that all sides are represented.
I often wonder how much sooner I would have stopped drinking alcohol if I had found someone like me ten years ago. Seeing someone actually live their life, unburdened by alcohol, not getting triggered, still enjoying their friends and live music and the scene…
Don’t get me wrong- it hasn’t been easy. I spent the first year constantly thinking about alcohol. I missed my good friends wedding celebrations for fear I would be triggered. And… I grew, I listened to myself, I developed the strongest relationship I have ever had, and it’s with ME.
So many cool things come from sobriety- if you’re thinking about it, fu***ng DO IT.
