Yeah it’s a way of life that I’m truly grateful to have left behind.
I have zero interest in being around alcohol and people drinking as I’ve left that life behind. I appreciate all of the little things in life so much now.
It is like learning again learning to socialise without an anxiolytic drug in your system (alcohol) so you have to feel the natural edginess, anxiety, nerves involved in social situations. You get used to it though and can be your true authentic self.
