Yeah.

We're Out of Time
Sonia Kahlon: From High-Functioning Drinking to Sobriety

And I thought I'm going to start drinking at five.

We're Out of Time
Sonia Kahlon: From High-Functioning Drinking to Sobriety

Um, and because like before I could like push my drinking to like seven, eight o'clock.

We're Out of Time
Sonia Kahlon: From High-Functioning Drinking to Sobriety

And then I thought, and then what am I, I'm just going to start, I'm just, you know, and then when those two years are up, I'm just going to start drinking earlier and earlier and earlier.

We're Out of Time
Sonia Kahlon: From High-Functioning Drinking to Sobriety

And so, and that did happen.

We're Out of Time
Sonia Kahlon: From High-Functioning Drinking to Sobriety

So we sold the practice and all of a sudden, yeah, I have no ownership, like interest in the company.

We're Out of Time
Sonia Kahlon: From High-Functioning Drinking to Sobriety

And I'm just sort of drinking earlier and earlier.

We're Out of Time
Sonia Kahlon: From High-Functioning Drinking to Sobriety

And yeah,

We're Out of Time
Sonia Kahlon: From High-Functioning Drinking to Sobriety

um i it wasn't really like it wasn't a rock bottom it wasn't a dui it wasn't anything like that it was just like the sick and tired of being sick and tired and so i had like a particularly bad hangover um and i went out to dinner went out to lunch with a friend of mine and i i just remember the the waiter saying you know would you like mimosa and i thought

We're Out of Time
Sonia Kahlon: From High-Functioning Drinking to Sobriety

No, for the first time ever in my life, I would not like a mimosa.

We're Out of Time
Sonia Kahlon: From High-Functioning Drinking to Sobriety

And so I said no to that drink.

We're Out of Time
Sonia Kahlon: From High-Functioning Drinking to Sobriety

And then I, because I also kind of like started to think, okay, if I have the mimosa, I'll feel better.

We're Out of Time
Sonia Kahlon: From High-Functioning Drinking to Sobriety

Then I have to keep drinking all day.

We're Out of Time
Sonia Kahlon: From High-Functioning Drinking to Sobriety

And I had done that, right?

We're Out of Time
Sonia Kahlon: From High-Functioning Drinking to Sobriety

I'll just keep drinking for the rest of the day.

We're Out of Time
Sonia Kahlon: From High-Functioning Drinking to Sobriety

I didn't.

We're Out of Time
Sonia Kahlon: From High-Functioning Drinking to Sobriety

I would say I had really severe anxiety, but I would say the physical symptoms were pretty minimal.

We're Out of Time
Sonia Kahlon: From High-Functioning Drinking to Sobriety

So maybe I was shaky, but didn't have the shakes.

We're Out of Time
Sonia Kahlon: From High-Functioning Drinking to Sobriety

Like I wouldn't drop something, for example.

We're Out of Time
Sonia Kahlon: From High-Functioning Drinking to Sobriety

I was really lucky.
