It's Hard

Am I Not Fun Anymore??? The Fears of Choosing Sobriety

Episode Summary

Dry January Pt. 2!! What happens to your fun factor when you decide to stop drinking?

Episode Notes

One of the biggest fears I had when I decided to stop drinking at 22 years old was...am I not going to be fun anymore? In this episode I talk about how I am finding that my "fun factor" is up to ME! How fun we are is not determined by society's measure of fun but rather how we see ourselves and what we enjoy. 

What I talk about in this episode:

• My fears going into sobriety
• Will I be enough?
• Will people still want to be my friend?
• How do I make friends while sober?
• How I shifted my mindset to knowing I am fun without alcohol
• What is even considered "fun"?
• I don't go out everytime I am invited 
• Answering the question: How do you handle when you get bored/annoyed around people who are drinking?
