I go to everything.

I love going out.

I still feel just as sociable.

I still host just as much at home.

I'm just not drinking alcohol.

And it's, you know, a year and a half in.

I just I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything apart from hangovers.

Not massively.

And the reality is that I realized about myself, and I know this isn't the same for everyone else, but I don't have social anxiety.

So I didn't know why I was drinking like I did.

And I think in many ways, sometimes the booze gave it to me.

It would give me such fear the next morning about all the things that I've said, but I can very confidently walk into a room and have a great time.

And then you realized, I don't need the alcohol to do that.

The alcohol is making me repeat myself, spit in everyone's faces and get quite annoying.

And when I don't drink, I don't do the things that make me feel annoying.

Sober John is lovely.

I'm sure my husband would sing a different song.

But I just feel like at this point in my life,

I don't feel like I'm missing anything.

I still visualize myself as being an old lady with a sherry.
