The death of the “Going Out” post sobriety.

So, my partner and I haven’t really been “going out” for the past, say, 10-11 months? And of course before that it was sporadically due to the pandemic and shutdowns/etc. But I noticed that since I stopped drinking, he only drinks occasionally and socially when we get together with friends on the weekend or goContinue reading “The death of the “Going Out” post sobriety.”

The Secret to Being Happy that no one’s talking about.
