Season 3 - Episode 15: The Truth About Socialising Sober

Socialising without alcohol can feel like one of the biggest hurdles when you’re changing your relationship with drinking.
What will people think? Will you still have fun? Will you feel awkward? And what happens when everyone else starts getting drunk?
In this episode, I’m talking about what sober socialising actually feels like. From the anxiety before those first few events to the surprising realisation that most people care far less about what’s in your glass than you think.
We’ll talk about why alcohol doesn’t give you a personality, why those sober “firsts” can feel uncomfortable, the pressure to prove you’re still fun, and why sometimes the best part of a night out is realising you’re actually allowed to leave when you've had enough.
Your social life might change when you stop drinking, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it gets smaller. You might just start discovering what you genuinely enjoy, rather than what alcohol made tolerable.
