And I believe that's why so many people in the middle of life and beyond are really questioning their relationship with alcohol and setting up to the fact that, hey, other people are going alcohol free. Doesn't have to be a rock bottom. You don't have to put a label on it. It is an option for me. And I think that comes with just that superpower of being older and then also removing alcohol from your life because it is something that you think I can't live without. I can't do it. Think of all the confidence you're building in yourself and the opportunities you're giving yourself that you may never have experienced if you kept drinking. I think that those two things, aging and sobriety, are something that is just completely life-changing, but also so empowering.
