Inhibitions are quite handy... (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve been having lots of conversations at the moment about a fear of missing out and also feeling awkwardness in social situations when you’re sober. There is usually mention of inhibitions and the lure of alcohol promising to help you lose them as though they’re something you want to get rid of. But my argument to anyone feeling this way would be to really dive into what you believe alcohol is actually doing in that moment and to actually ask yourself if your inhibitions may help you in any way

I often think back and compare my drinking days with my life now because it keeps me focussed and grounded in all the ways my life is better now that I’m sober. Rather than keeping one foot in the past, it helps my sobriety in the now and strengthens it.

I’ve mentioned before that there wasn’t a big rock bottom for my drinking, rather it was like death by a thousand cuts. There were mini moments that led me to the decision to quit for good and I think that’s why it took me so long to get to that decision too.One of those moments was befriending a

This week I had a message (and permission to share this little snippet from it) because I feel that it brings up an important point. The person wrote to me saying that “I thought I’d feel more confident in my sobriety by now”, asking for my take on it. Confidence and sobriety are an interesting combination and a very personal journey. But I wanted to talk about why you may not be feeling as confident as you’d like at any given moment in time.Here’s the thing as well though… I don’t think that st
