167 | How to Socialize Without Alcohol: Real Stories and Practical Tips

Listen Later

Socializing without alcohol is possible - and full of connection, fun, and real confidence. In this episode of Through the Glass Recovery Podcast, we dig into how to rebuild your sober social life, stop relying on “liquid courage,” and rediscover joy in gatherings, friendships, and parties - without the booze.


We’ll cover how to handle those awkward first outings, what to say when people ask why you’re not drinking, how to find new friendships in sobriety, and how to show up confidently without the drink in your hand. Whether you’re newly sober or still figuring out what happens after quitting drinking, this is for you.

What you’ll get in this episode:

  • A deep look at socializing without alcohol and the fear that “everyone’s watching me.”
  • Honest stories from women in long-term recovery about rebuilding a sober social life.
  • Practical strategies to make friends, attend parties, and feel comfortable in social settings while staying sober.
  • How to shift from relying on alcohol for confidence to showing up as your true self- finding confidence without alcohol.
  • Tips for meaningful connection and authentic belonging - because sobriety doesn’t mean isolation.
