Sober October is Wrapping Up: What’s Next?
As Sober October comes to a close, I thought I might a moment to reflect and share some thoughts on how to keep the momentum going, if you took part, whether you’re cutting back on alcohol or choosing to continue living alcohol-free.
Almost two years ago, I decided to stop drinking because it felt like alcohol was taking more than it was giving. It was a personal choice that made sense for me at the time, and if you're curious about my experience, I dive into my journey on the following podcast episodes:

Ep 5: Our Complicated Relationship with Alcohol
Ep 22: Rethinking the Drink (part 2)
Ep 28: Kicking Off Season 3 with an Alcohol Free Living Update
My goal in sharing this isn't to suggest that giving up alcohol is the right path for everyone. It’s a personal decision, and my intention is simply to invite curiosity. If you’re feeling like alcohol might not be serving you in the same way it once did, these reflections might offer some helpful perspective.
Join Our Sober Curious Book Club: Uncorked Perspectives
If you're interested in exploring what sober curiosity might look like for you, I’m starting a Sober Curious Book Club! Our first read will be The Naked Mind by Annie Grace. Here’s what you should know about the club:
You don’t have to stop drinking to join. This group is open to anyone who’s curious about drinking less, whether you’re already sober or just thinking about it.
Everyone is welcome. Having members who are already alcohol-free will be a huge benefit to those of us exploring new habits.
Flexible schedule. We’ll meet six times to discuss the book, but attendance at every meeting isn’t required. Meetings will also be recorded for those who can’t attend live.
Sign up here!
