You're doing what you need to do for yourself, and that may be a hard thing, but it's also an example of choosing yourself that will have so many benefits, because that is energy that you need to grow your beautiful, sober life, and you can't afford to give it away to people who are not enhancing your life and supporting you the way that you need to be supported.
Friendships can be some of the most rewarding experiences of our lives, but when alcohol is involved, things can get messy. In this engaging episode of The Hangover Liberation Society, hosts Adrienne van der Valk and Erin Ranta reflect on how their friendships functioned (or didn't) during their drinking days and the unexpected challenges they've faced since choosing sobriety. They share heartfelt stories and practical advice on navigating relationships without alcohol, especially during the tricky times of a pandemic.
From dealing with 'energy vampires' to finding joy in sober activities like planking with friends, Adrienne and Erin cover it all. This episode is packed with tips on setting boundaries, communicating needs, and building a fulfilling social life without alcohol. Whether you're new to sobriety or have been on this journey for a while, you'll find valuable insights and support here. So, grab a cup of tea, settle in, and learn how to thrive in your sober friendships.
