Followers of this growing movement say it's not abstaining from alcohol altogether but rather taking note of how drinking alcohol has impacted you and making changes.

This is one of the most amazing things I have seen recently! I don’t drink anymore and I could not be happier! I am finally in control of my life and my health! I cannot wait to go try out these bars! I’ve been wondering how am I going to meet other people who don’t drink or who are sober curious. If anyone is struggling with alcohol or if anyone wants a changed mindset on alcohol I highly recommend reading Annie Graces book “This Naked Mind: Control Alcohol, Find Freedom, Discover Happiness & Change Your Life”. This book has completely changed my life and my idea of alcohol. This book took away any desire I had to drink! Alcohol kills more people than any other drug including illicit drugs yet everywhere we turn alcohol is on a billboard or pushed in our face somehow. How can this watered down sugary poison be so normalized in our society when it not only damages our mind and body, but kills so many people everyday? Anyone curious about sobriety- don’t knock it til you try it! Best of luck to everyone! My heart is so full! Alcohol used to erase me, but now I am back!

What did you drink if you went to the pub to see friends

@AlexasArtRoom 3 жыл бұрын

@@DarlingsDomain I honestly never really go to the pub to see friends considering most of my friends are sober now too. But hypothetically speaking I would drink water or maybe a soda, or I could get the bartender to make a "mocktail".

Even for casual drinkers, after you start cutting back a little and even start eating healthier, you see changes. You go out and after a few drinks you really start feeling bad as your tolerance fades and you want to drink less and less. Hopefully this will catch on because there's plenty of people with alcohol problems who can't quit because it's ingrained in the social fabric that this is what you do as an adult. All alot of people really need is something in their hand to drink to ease the social tension, I've found, because it's not natural for alot of people to huddle around and talk BS.

Love. It! One of my fellow practitioners used to drink 1 glass of wine after dinner, too unwind. He had very high levels of Arsenic, because of it. After stopping and getting retested(in 3 months) his levels were normal...

As a clean and sober person in recovery, I don't feel accepted in the mainstream, as soon as people find out I was a drug addicted, alcoholic, most of them start judging, but these people are trending? WTF? What really needs media attention is how addicts and alcoholics are regular people, and how they can get help. We have an opiate EPIDEMIC in our country right now. We must remember how serious this is for so many people.

@coll6914 4 жыл бұрын

Having spaces like these being more accepted would give people different supports, instead of feeling isolated which many people do when they stop drinking

It's true. You don't truly understand the impact not drinking has on your life until you give it up. 7 months for me. Won't go back. I feel too good.

I've been drinking too much since Trump was (well he wasn't elected but) put in office by Putin. Last week I decided to just quit. After a week I feel really good. I will probably have the occasional social drink but not in my home.

I find it interesting.. not knocking it. But couldn't u just go to a normal bar and not drink ? Go early and just have some food and a couple virgin cocktails ? U can still drink a beverage and have fun without having to be around the late night drunk people. I dont know.. just seems a bit odd
