Can You Truly Experience City Life Without Alcohol?

When I turned 30, I decided I’d finally had enough. After one last birthday blowout, I promised myself I’d put a cork in it for good. Naturally, hundreds of questions raced through my mind: “Will I be able to maintain my friendships?” “How am I supposed to enjoy things like live music and weddings?” And, of course, “How do I handle the inevitable peer pressure?”.

As it turned out, these questions began answering themselves over time. That’s not to say the journey was without its challenges, but I want to share the experiences that have shaped my sober journey—and the lessons still to come.
