KEY TAKEAWAYS

Sobriety can lead to significant improvements in mental and physical health. Jen's journey to sobriety resulted in improved mental well-being, stronger relationships, and a healthier lifestyle.

The societal perception of alcohol as necessary for relaxation, fun, and socialising is a lie. Alcohol is a neurotoxin and depressant that can actually increase anxiety and negatively impact overall well-being.

Feelings and emotions should be embraced and felt rather than suppressed with alcohol. Sobriety provides an opportunity to learn healthy coping mechanisms and develop emotional resilience.

Alcohol can have serious health consequences, including increased anxiety, changes in brain structure, and an increased risk of diseases such as Alzheimer's and breast cancer. Choosing sobriety can significantly improve overall health and reduce the risk of these negative outcomes.

BEST MOMENTS

"No one's thinking about you. We're all just focused on ourselves."

"If something isn't fun without alcohol, it's probably just not fun."

"All feelings need to be felt. All feelings are valid."

"Drinking doesn't get you anywhere. It only gives you more problems."
