Quitting drinking felt lonely - here's what I did about it, and what you can do too

Quitting alcohol can feel isolating, like you’re the only one not joining in. But is it really loneliness, or something else? In this episode, I share the mindset shifts and practical strategies that helped me move through those wobbly early moments without going back to drinking.
“Loneliness is just a feeling—it’s not the truth. You can feel lonely in a crowd, or even sitting right next to someone you love.”
This episode is about:
- Why quitting drinking can feel so uncomfortable in social settings
- The difference between feeling lonely and being alone
- How to navigate self-doubt when you stand out by choosing differently
- Practical steps to rebuild confidence and connection without alcohol
This episode is about finding freedom in your own truth, even while it feels uncomfortable.
