Ever looked at your friends and wondered, “How did we even become friends?” I didn’t—until I stopped drinking. And when I did, everything changed. This International Friendship Day, we’re unpacking the messy truth about relationships built under the influence. Not just alcohol, but cultural pressure, emotional hunger, and the desperate human need to belong—even if it means betraying ourselves. I’ll share how quitting alcohol triggered a friendship reckoning, what PARTS of us cling to relationships out of fear, and why some connections aren’t meant to follow us into our alcohol-free life. Let’s get honest about the friendships that no longer serve us—and how we open the door to ones that do. Because you’re not losing friends. You’re losing masks. And what you’ll find underneath… is real connection. #1000DaysSoberPodcast #LeeDavy #STRIVE #STRIVEMethod #AFAF #AlcoholFreeLife #SoberCurious #QuitDrinking #FriendshipDay #SelfLedLiving #AlcoholAwareness #EmotionalSobriety #RealFriendsOnly #SelfConnection #SoberSupport
