I've been following and also partaking in what some call #sobercurious with much interest, as people very close to me affected by #alcoholism. The UK is very much a drinking culture, but this article gives me hope that people, particularly the younger generation, are finding that #alcohol isn't necessary to socialise https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jul/20/sober-alcohol-consumption-britain-drinking-culture

Someone needs to make a list, perhaps on #OpenStreetMap, of all the pubs that have alcohol-free beer on tap. The last few trips to the pub, I've noticed more and more of my mates are drinking beers like Lucky Saint #sobercurious

Feeling good. Am halfway through a 28-day challenge and so far am actually sticking to it. I’ve never done that before. Walking 8000 steps, meditating and doing yoga every day. I’ve drunk just once in two weeks, just one glass of wine. I have to say, I feel gloriously calm and happy. Hoping life doesn’t divebomb me off course and i get to finish what I started.

Very unexpectedly I find myself on day 14 of no alcohol. I don’t know that I’m #SoberCurious just seeking to re-frame my relationship with booze. It hasn’t really been much of an issue, I’m happy to say. But I do wonder if I can stick to one or two glasses tomorrow when friends come, or if I just plough on and do a month. It’s raclette with friends tho! And i really fancy some Riesling…

Reading a lot of these things as I wait for Dry January to end.

I'm not really sober curious, and can't yet get my head round non-alcoholic spirits, but a dry month is proving to be a much needed reset after December's excesses.

Liquor stores are so 2019. Welcome to the age of the non-alcoholic bottle shop | Food | The Guardian

On the hunt for sober-friendly spots
Scanned mocktail menus
For spritely libations
In search of a night that's alcohol-free rocks

There are some damn fine N/A beverages to be had. Back when I did drink, I was quite a beer snob. I'm hella pleased at how excellent breweries like Athletic Brewing Co and Sober Carpenter are gaining ground. I used to get weird looks and prying questions when I would say I don't drink at social functions. "But *why* don't you drink?" As if this needs socially-acceptable justification.

In case anyone needs to hear this, but feel free to ask me questions about #DryJanuary!

Even as someone who has only ever been an occasional drinker (and has only ever been drunk twice), the benefits are quite stark and extend long after January 31st.

Today marks the last day of my great experiment. I have not had a single drink or smoked even a puff of weed for the entire month of November. What I learned was, I am basically the exact same person sober; I’m just as clumsy, goofy, cynical, forgetful, and provocative. What I didn’t have was a way to smooth those rough edges on bad days/weeks, or extend my capacity for social interaction. I’m ready to fall off this wagon. It is not for me. #sobercurious

Shout out to Guinness for their excellent non-alcoholic draught beer. It's nice to be able to have a beer for the holidays while staying sober.

I hate looking at myself in pictures and said a negative thing about myself. A friend said, “would you allow someone to say to you what you said about yourself? You are fine. God made you.”
Regardless of your beliefs, it hit home. Be comfortable with who you are and try to help someone else, even with a kind word.

Anyone here on a sober journey and or sober curious? Would love to chat! I believe the relationship each of us has with drugs whether it’s caffeine, alcohol or weed (or whatever else) is so fascinating. #caffeine #Alchohol #weed #sober #sobercurious

Lol @instagram suspended my account for discussing sobriety. I’m sure it’s the algorithm. 🙄

This Sunday I am sharing why I decided to quit drinking without waiting for a rock bottom.

Would love for anyone who is #sobercurious to join
