i love this so much I feel like there's so much stigma about being sober especially when you're in college and sometimes people see it as judgement towards those who do choose to drink. I have had more bad/mid nights drunk than fun and only chose to drink from FOMO and in my opinion its never worth the post drinking blues, lack of energy, and money. I just graduated college and am turning 22 soon and want to quit drinking especially once I start working and this post gave me some validation about my reasoning. Congratulations on four years such a great accomplishment!
This made my day! And you’re so right, a lot of people tend to get offensive when I tell them I don’t drink and see it as me judging them (when I actually don’t care, this is just my personal decision lol).
Congrats on graduating college! Whether you quit drinking or not, I still think it’s amazing to even be aware of it at 22. There is so much out there normalising alcohol, and so to know yourself well enough to question its normalcy — that’s huge in itself! My inbox is always open if you want to talk about it with someone :)
