Welcome to another edition of Soberart, where we celebrate the quiet superpowers you didn’t even know you had. Look, let’s be brutally honest for a second: the world we live in is basically one giant, never-ending happy hour. Everywhere you turn someone’s popping champagne for “Tuesday,” Instagram is drowning in negronis with perfect lighting, and your coworker’s “just one glass” story always ends with them face-down on the couch by 9 p.m.
And then there’s you — the weirdo who said “nah, I’m good” and actually meant it. In this madhouse of a society, deciding to quit drinking is basically the adult version of walking into Mordor with flip-flops and no ring. It’s quietly heroic, and most people will never understand how much mental steel that actually takes.
So yeah, if you’ve already pulled off the seemingly impossible — saying no to the thing literally everyone else is worshipping — then the rest of your life’s to-do list is basically on easy mode. Want to finally write that book? Run a marathon? Ask for the raise? Build a business? Go skydiving without immediately needing a drink to calm your nerves?
You’ve already proven you can stare down the biggest, sneakiest, most socially acceptable addiction on the planet and walk away like it’s no big deal. Everything else is just details. You’re not “sober.” You’re unstoppable. And that, my friend, is the real flex. 🍻← nah, we’re good without that. 😏
