Love this article! I was saying, “yes, yes, OH HECK YES” to myself throughout the whole thing. Particularly that if you need to be drunk to be around someone, they’re not for you. When I quit drinking in my 20s, I lost friends who, it turned out, didn’t like being around a sober person and couldn’t understand. Thankfully, it is a lot less like that when you’re 40 (but there are still a few like that).
Thank you so much Maggie 🥹 this makes me so happy that you enjoyed reading it. Congratulations on your sobriety! It’s definitely daunting and it can still sometimes be awkward when I’m the only sober person but it’s always so worth it!
