Getting sober in college can be a painfully weird experience, but is ultimately a truly rewarding time
A place for people who have ever wondered about not drinking – whether its for a minute, a day, a month or a year – and want to learn more about what a sober life could be
I am sober person who has seen a lot of interesting press about the growing would of the ‘sober curious’ and have very little understanding of what the term means.
Sober living means staying away from alcohol and drugs. It is often linked with people recovering from addiction, but it can also benefit anyone who wants to live a healthier life. In a sober living environment, the focus is on building better habits, improving mental health, and creating a strong support system. It can be as simple as not drinking or using substances and instead focusing on a healthier way of living.
Peer pressure is when people around you try to influence you to do something. In social settings, this might include drinking alcohol. The pressure might not always be direct like someone telling you to drink. It could be more subtle, such as people questioning why you’re not drinking or making jokes about your choice. Handling this can feel overwhelming, but there are ways to stay strong in your decision to stay sober.
