Sober Curious

She has two books about it, Curious and Super Curious Reset Workbook, which is 100 Day Reset from alcohol with amazing prompts that yeah, I really highly recommend checking out these books and Ruby Warrington work in general, so I thought I would read a little bit of the forward from the book just for some context. So here we go. Would life be better without alcohol? It's the nagging question more and more of us are finding harder to ignore whether we have a problem with alcohol or not

And that was really my difficult part of my relationship with alcohol, was it wasn't necessarily the frequency that I ever really had a problem with, but the one would turn into two, it would turn into three and four, and then I would turn into a hungover mess the next day where I wouldn't be able to go do the stuff that I ultimately really wanted to do. So I don't really feel like it's a conviction at this point or a big commitment

But I was thinking of sobriety for me being of a clear mind and not cluttered by you. Hold on. I'm not cluttered by a narrow view of things because sometimes I can get seductively sucked into a narrow point of view of things. And I have to always remember to check myself and think outside of that particular tunnel of vision. So I guess I tried to do that

But then when I returned back to work and it's interesting that you brought up teaching and having a clear mind, I realized that I think for me, so much of my drinking too, was, like, decompressing from my stressful day teaching at work. So I think I did start to get back into my old pattern. And then Quarantine happened and coveted

And then sometimes I might have a drink, but it's very tricky because my relationship with that is constantly in sucks. But anyway, I realized that without alcohol, I get super hyper focused on things and I really look at that as a strength
