Sober Powered: The Neuroscience of Being Sober

Q2: How to Answer “Why Aren’t You Drinking?”


Listen Later

When I first quit drinking I was very nervous about how people would respond to me. I worried about what to say to them. In this episode I will give you my advice for answering this question, both what I recommend doing and what I recommend not doing. I will also share 5 examples of when people gave me a hard time about not drinking and how I navigated it.
