Just the Good Stuff

My Decision To Cut Out Alcohol 4+ Years Ago

Listen Later

#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:

  1. 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?
