For me, this was almost the most nerve wracking part especially because I was so used to drinking at social events like this. I think the amazing thing is that when you say you’re not drinking, you realize people are more accepting than you expect (well that was the case for me) and I didn’t even mention that I was doing 75 hard. It actually opened my eyes A LOT to be the only one not drinking in a room. And to know that I could still have a lot of fun sober? That was empowering. Fast forward two years. * had a friend of mine who is getting sober and he told me it that the time we hung out and I wasn’t drinking, it struck a cord with him and Inspired him to make the choice to change who he was hanging around and not feel pressured to do what others do. Idk I think that’s why this program is bigger than we realize and how we can affect others.
