"WHY DON'T YOU DRINK?" ...how to answer this question

from The Sober Scoop · host India Gants

"Why don't you drink?" When you go from being a heavy drinker to a non-drinker, you're bound to get some questions from friends, family, and unfortunately... strangers too. I find it really helpful to have some go-to answers prepared for this question, so you can avoid any uncomfortable situations or unwanted conversations.In today's episode, I provide LOTS specific examples for how you could answer this question, so I hope you find a couple that resonate with you that you can use in your future conversations. Of course, we get sober for ourselves and don't owe anyone an explanation, but for me, it was comforting to have a rehearsed answer for this very commonly asked question, especially in early sobriety.As always, feel free to DM me or leave a comment!
