Why is everyone going sober these days?

I don’t have a definitive answer but what I CAN do is tell you about my own sobriety journey as a non-sober person.

Yes, I want to be straight-up with you about the fact I do drink occasionally now. But in order to get to here, I had to go through a very very long stint of sobriety. So I do feel qualified to speak about this overall movement that’s happening where people who wouldn’t normally consider themselves alcoholics opt to go sober.

This episode is also for the woman who slid into my DMs asking about my experiences when I was sober.

WHAT IS SELF care-ISH ALL ABOUT?

It's okay to take care of yourself. And it's definitely okay to seek help when you need it. Don't let anyone make you feel guilty or selfish for wanting to be happy. You deserve it—friend I haven't met yet.

Nicole Madigan is a journalist who found herself at the mercy of a stalker after going through a painful divorce. She met a great guy, started dating him and then the messages would start.

Over years she would be sent hundreds of viscous personal attacking texts calling her a ‘rat’ abusing her swearing at her. Threatening her. And even going so far as to contact her family, friends, AND her ex husband.

It’s all documented in her book ‘Obsession” A journalist And Victim-Survivor's Investigation Into Stalking

And when I say it’s a gripping read, I mean it.

WHAT IS SELF care-ISH ALL ABOUT?

It's okay to take care of yourself. And it's definitely okay to seek help when you need it. Don't let anyone make you feel guilty or selfish for wanting to be happy. You deserve it—friend I haven't met yet.

I was recently interviewed on Eli Vasquez’s Self hype podcast. One of things I touched on was the feeling that when I finally got into dating that I felt like I was a politician running some kind of campaign. Feeling hyper aware of how I was being perceived, which is always a recipe for self-censorship.

It turns out there's a reason for it and it's not just me feeling this way...
