My worlds are colliding! Today’s real sober mom, Jessica, and I go way back. We met in college, became good friends as adults, and now she’s one year sober and in The Sober Mom Life Cafe! 

Jessica’s relationship with drinking always centered around her social life. Alcohol felt like a natural part of the social equation, so much so that she didn’t even think about it. After Covid, her home became a social hub for family and friends, and drinks became ever present. 

Slowly, Jessica started to pay attention to her drinking. And when she did she found herself asking ‘What am I doing?’. Jessica’s Dry January in 2023 turned into a full commitment to sobriety, and she is now one year sober! 

Jessica shares how her sobriety has (and hasn’t!) impacted her social life. She tells us about the physical and mental benefits she’s experienced from dropping alcohol. Then, she leaves you with some advice: You will get comfortable with your sobriety. It might feel awkward or scary in the beginning, but there is so much ease on the other side.
