what it’s really been like living alcohol-free for six months — the good, the bad, and the surprising things no one tells you.





Sobriety changes more than your habits — it changes your identity.


You go from “the drinker” to “the one who doesn’t,” and that shift affects how others treat you — and how you see yourself.





Holidays and parties aren’t what they seem — sobriety reveals the truth.


Being sober showed how much of social life was just standing around drinking — and how freeing it is not to need that.





Sleep, fitness, and emotional control drastically improve.


No hangovers = better sleep, better workouts, better focus, and no 2 a.m. anxiety spirals.





Not drinking forces real clarity about your friendships.


You learn who’s really in your life for you, and who was just along for the party.
