In this episode, I dive into a topic that many of us worry about when we first quit drinking—how do we celebrate without alcohol? From birthdays to weddings, promotions to holidays, we’ve been conditioned to believe that booze is the key to having fun. But is that really true?

I’ll be sharing my own experiences of navigating sober celebrations, the anxiety of social pressure, and how I learned to redefine what a "good time" really means. We’ll talk about the first big event sober, finding new ways to celebrate, and why marking milestones in sobriety is just as important as any other life achievement.

If you’ve ever felt like sobriety might take the joy out of big moments, this episode is for you. Let’s rethink celebration together.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✔️ Why we associate alcohol with celebration and how to break that mindset.
✔️ How to handle your first big sober event (and the awkward "Why aren’t you drinking?" questions).
✔️ Alternative ways to celebrate that actually leave you feeling good the next day.
✔️ The importance of marking your sobriety milestones and rewarding yourself.
