Summary

#61: In this episode, I am sharing why I decided to stop drinking 4 years ago and my perspective on living alcohol free. I discuss my history with alcohol and my adolescence/relationship with drinking and share why this has been a huge benefit in my life. But also why I don't expect everyone to hop on board the sober curious lifestyle. I also dive into listener questions on cutting out alcohol and touch on some of the points below: Why did I stop drinking alcohol? When did I know you needed to quit? Was it a hard realization? What positive changes have I seen since stopping? If I could go back, would I have cut out alcohol earlier? Did my friend group change when I stopped drinking? What is your go-to non alcoholic drink? Have I noticed a change in my health since stopping? Does Jordan wish I still drank? Do you think I say no to events that are centered around alcohol? Do I ever feel like you're missing out on social situations? Do people ever look at me funny for not drinking? How do I approach it with friends who love to drink? My tips for dating and being sober Thought on splitting the bill evenly with friends when eating out? How do I address questions when you're around a group of people who don’t get why you stopped drinking? How do I find other social ways to see friends without getting a drink? Do I smoke weed instead? Do I think I will ever start drinking again? For more from me, I'm over on IG @rachLmansfield, tiktok @rachLmansfield and rachLmansfield.com
