Now you know, because like, I'm fully present in the moment you know, and I'm, I'm making decisions on a whim, and not because I'm drunk, but because I'm just feeling curious and spontaneous about life, you know, and it's such a cool feeling it is, and it's. And I think for a lot of people that's what keeps them from being sober- is like they're like. I think that's like one of the most courageous things somebody could do.
Ever wondered what it's like to ditch alcohol in a city that never sleeps? In this episode of 'Sober Like a Boss', Mari DeMers sits down with Grace Smith, a former D1 athlete and sorority president at UCLA, who made the bold decision to cut alcohol out of her life during the pandemic. Grace takes us through the highs and lows of navigating sobriety in the bustling heart of New York City.
They dive into the post-graduate drinking culture, the pressures of male validation, and the stark shift from social drinking to using alcohol as a coping mechanism. Grace candidly shares moments of feeling isolated and sad, recounting trips to the grocery store for a six-pack just to numb her emotions. But it’s not all gloom—Grace also talks about how she found healthier ways to cope with triggers and maintain her sobriety.
The conversation is packed with real-life experiences and practical advice, making it a must-listen for anyone curious about or struggling with sobriety. Tune in for an honest discussion that promises to leave you feeling inspired and hopeful.
