When you start showing up as sober you, and you realize people still like it, it’s a massive confidence boost.
People Will Pressure You To Drink
There will always be people that will pressure you to drink. They have been drinking their entire lives, and they will find it strange that you don’t drink. At all.
People might say things like ”Oh, you’re not going to leave me drinking on my own, are you?”. You have to realize that this kind of prssure is all about the insecurity of the other person. You are not responsible for their feelings by drinking alcohol. Someone who really likes drinking alochol won’t care what you are doing.
Friendships May Change
Most drinkers will be surrounded by more drinkers. That’s just the way it is. Your decision to quit might make your drinking buddies feel uncomfortable or self conscious about their own habits.
Always remember, a true friend will want to spend time with you, no matter what’s in your glass.
People Will Say Stupid Things
People will say stupid things. But don’t let that stop you. These reactions will say everything about them, and nothing about you.
The best way of action is don’t let these comments get to you. Don’t care about it, and you will be happier because of it.
You Might Not Be Catered For
Sometimes you will go to events that only have alcoholic drinking options. Fortunately, this is less the case right now. Of course, this is completely ridiculous and you shouldn’t be afraid to ask the waiter what the alcoholic free drinks are.
