Listen Later

How are you feeling about your next social event?

Calm, confident, and ready to connect?

(Or did that question just stir up a wave of anxiety and second-guessing?)

And what about your body?

Tense, tight shoulders? Racing heartbeat?

(If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.)

The reality is that social anxiety can be incredibly overwhelming, especially when you’re newly sober. The situations that used to feel easier with a drink in hand—work events, family gatherings, even vacations—now seem daunting without that familiar crutch.

But here’s the good news: you don’t have to feel stuck or alone in these situations.

In this episode, we’re diving deep into how you can manage and overcome social anxiety without alcohol.

As someone who used to drink to relax and feel more comfortable around others, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to navigate social situations without alcohol. But trust me when I say, it’s not only possible, it’s empowering.

Today, I’ll share 5 proven strategies to help you build confidence, ease anxiety, and enjoy social gatherings without relying on alcohol. By the end of this episode, you’ll have real, actionable tools to help you handle those tricky situations with grace and confidence.

You deserve to feel comfortable in your own skin, no matter the setting.
