I was just so present. I was so in the moment. I really enjoyed the conversations. I enjoyed the people... when I was drinking, I was just so self-centered... it detracted my presence from the actual situation. So I couldn't connect with people properly.
Picture this: you're hosting a dinner party at your home, but instead of the usual wine and cocktails, it's an alcohol-free affair. In this episode of 'The Weekend Sober', Kim and Kezia share their experiences of navigating social events without alcohol. Kim recounts her recent dinner party, highlighting the stark contrast between her past reliance on alcohol and her newfound confidence in sobriety. Meanwhile, Kezia opens up about her upcoming baby shower, which she's decided will be alcohol-free.
They both reflect on how alcohol once eroded their self-confidence, leading to self-sabotage and crippling social anxiety. Today, they find strength and freedom in their sober lives, allowing them to be fully present and engage in meaningful conversations. Kezia also introduces her new initiative, 'Sober in the Suburbs', aimed at building a supportive community for those seeking sober connections outside of Boston.
The episode wraps up with Kim sharing updates on her pregnancy journey, including the baby's position and her upcoming glucose test. Throughout their discussion, Kim and Kezia celebrate the joy of being fully present in life's significant moments, showcasing the transformative power of sobriety.
