## Caption

01: Hiking up ( and down) this pinnacle right after finishing my first duathlon was actually painful- but the sea of happy little trees was worth it. 
02: I’ve noticed a plethora of friends announcing sobriety in the past couple years and I wanted to let y’all know that I’m here for it and I’m here for all of you. Similar to how I’m plant-based with food, I’m sober-based with drinking. Which means I leave the flexibility for drinking to be an option on specific occasions- but it is extremely rare and just not my thing anymore. There were a lot of reasons I ended up here- but the major one is that I simply no longer like it or how it makes me feel. Many people I love maintain fulfilling lives drinks included- and no judgement. My personal preference has become sober experiences and so far ( maybe three years in? ) I can’t say I’ve felt any regret or that I’ve missed those multi-day hangovers. I know how weird and uncomfortable it can be to share your sobriety socially- specifically if your friendships and family connections ( or your job for a lot of you ) have usually included drinking. It can feel like an awkward, intrusive, and somewhat belittling interrogation because for some reason stating that you just don’t want to isn’t enough. ( it should be ) So, if any of you are looking for a friend to not drink with- come at me. I’m about it. Especially if there are trees involved.
