And so give yourself permission to grieve and recognize that even though it's a positive journey that you're heading toward or that you're on, that there can feel like some isolation and some loss.

Friendships might change.

There may be some uncomfortability.

But I think that that is also an important time for us to give ourselves some grace and to recognize that we may notice that we have things inherently within ourselves that we didn't notice before and that we continue down this path of learning more about ourself when we remove alcohol.

It's important for people to not feel like they have to sign up for something that they can't break.

I think that's sometimes why people say, I can't give it up completely yet.

People often say, I want to try this out and see what all the rage is, what people are talking about, but I don't want to give it up completely.

So I'm going to try this sober thing on.

What does it look like to maybe abstain for a month at a time or a week at a time and recognizing any benefits that that might have for them?

So they may say, I don't identify with having a problem with alcohol, but I'm curious about what some of the positive benefits are.

So maybe they want to dip their toe in and they start reading quitlet of other people who have had experiences giving up alcohol or reducing alcohol.

Or they want to see and talk to somebody else who has tried this on as a new identity.

So they are...

Curious to know what some of these benefits are.

And I think that that has really changed over the course of the last few or the last decade, definitely, in our culture.

Quit lit is not a phrase a lot of

have heard.

So tell us what that is.

Quit literature really refers to people who've written memoirs or people write about their own experience with cutting back or reducing or abstaining outside of a traditional alcoholics anonymous approach that many people are privy to just because they've heard about it in pop culture, but really about the experience of going about different ways of reducing or eliminating alcohol altogether.

In conjunction with some of those resources for reading about other people's stories where a lot of people can find a relationship to shared experience, they may join different kinds of groups online.
