You’ll hear in this interview that my best friend stopped drinking in 2018 and that brought the question about my own relationship with alcohol to the forefront too.
Ruby starts with a really simple but HUGELY powerful question – “would my life be better without alcohol?” and discusses how that made her get curious.
- Today we’re talking about how you can explore that question for yourself, and what that might mean. Our discussion includes:
- How being sober curious is all about questioning
- How most drinkers are drinking by default or habitual drinking, rather than consciously drinking
- How alcohol contributes to anxiety, exhaustion, disturbed sleep, and more
- That perhaps life isn’t supposed to be comfortable, and what that means
- The 5 different kinds of problem drinkers and how the black/white idea of problem drinking may be outdated
- How you can actually survive parties being sober
- Healthier ways we can escape and revive from the daily grind of life
