Let me be clear-this post is coming from a SOBER CURIOUS person. I’m not sober because I “need” to be. I’m not a person to be considered in recovery from alcohol or drug abuse. I chose sobriety because that’s what best benefits me and my family right now and I’ve maintained abstinence for 1 year, 1 month and 9 days at this point.
Will I ever have a drink again? Maybe. Maybe not. I’m not really concerned about making a “final” decision or slapping a label onto this lifestyle, but here is why I am “sober curious”:
I choose to stay abstinent because I want to feel good in my body. I want my energy to be vibrant. I want my mood to be stable. I want my mental health to be consistent. I want to be present. I value my health. I LOVE the woman I am becoming and I don’t want the darkness of what alcohol and drugs has put me through (whether by my own vices or by dealing with a loved one struggling with addiction) to interfere with that.
