And I think so many people struggle alone because they're not sharing those thoughts.

And so that relief comes in.

I've been there too.

I've had those thoughts.

I can relate.

I mean, and that's what the foundation of treatment has been for people in recovery is community.

And so...

Yes.

Social anxiety can heighten exponentially when somebody stops drinking.

So I don't want to glamorize that sobriety is beautiful.

And the minute you stop drinking, you're sleeping better and your relationships improve.

There's a huge learning curve that happens.

Mm-hmm.

And now there are lots of non-alcoholic options and people are more aware to have other options outside of alcohol when we go to parties.

But when I first got sober, I remember like sneaking in my seltzer water and pouring it into a glass so nobody would ask me if I was drinking or not.

Yeah.

That just enhanced the uncomfortableness and the shame.

Now, 13 years in, I'm a little more confident in my choice and people know I don't drink.

So they offer me other options that are non-alcoholic.

But it is a learning curve and it's a reparative experience of learning different coping mechanisms.
