✨ diary of a sober curious girl: month 3…✨

Well I’ll be damned. So many benefits; better sleep, glowing skin, saved money (like a lot dang nyc), far less bloat/inflammation, mental clarity. 

Cons (?): the wake-up call to my stress levels. 

It’s quite literally “sobering” to see the coping mechanism that drinking a glass of wine to take the edge off can become. Rather than self-regulate through the stress, I could avoid and “forget”. The body keeps score though…and it doesn’t forget. @hubermanlab discussed the effects of stress relational to drinking in his iconic episode on Alchol and how it effects your Body and Brain and whewwwww im right on schedule! 

Using some somatic skills, creative outlets (yay finally picked up my guitar again after some chaos) but always open to more suggestions here! 

Ps. Pretty solid NA red wine option here. Zero point Five Pinot Noir. 8.5/10 #sobercuriousmovement #soberliving #mocktails
