What people are saying
I do a meeting every morning at 6 a.m. on Zoom
Drinking got boring in the end. I woke up on the sidewalk outside my house, yet again, and it felt like a fork in the road. Which way was I going to go for the rest of my life?
I love being sober
I'm having way more fun now than I ever did drinking, and I never end up in jail, which is a real bonus.
