How to handle social events while staying sober
Going to parties and social events can be tricky when you're trying to stay sober for 30 days. But with the right attitude and smart tips, you can stick to your goals and still have fun with friends. Here's how:
1. Bring your drinks
○ Bring your non-alcoholic drinks, like CAROUSE, to the party. This way, you have something tasty to drink and don't have to explain why you're not drinking alcohol. Having your favourite drink with you helps you stay focused on your sober challenge while still enjoying the party.
2. Be honest, but keep it short
○ If someone asks why you're not drinking, say, "I'm doing a 30-day sober challenge," and move on. Most people won't ask more questions, and you can change the topic easily. Being honest and brief helps you stay confident.
3. Connect with people
○ You don’t need alcohol to have fun. Talk to others, play games, or join activities that don’t involve drinking. Focusing on your friends and having meaningful conversations can make the event enjoyable without needing a drink.
4. Find alcohol-free events
○ Look for parties and activities that don't involve alcohol, like mocktail parties, wellness retreats, or fitness meetups. These events are fun and let you meet people who want to stay sober.
Better health from staying sober
Choosing to stay sober for 30 days can change how you think and make your body and mind feel better. After one month without alcohol, you will see big improvements in how you feel physically and emotionally.
● Lower blood pressure
Drinking alcohol can increase your blood pressure. But if you don't drink for 30 days, your blood pressure will most likely return to healthier levels. Your heart will be happier, and you will have more energy daily.
● Weight management
Alcoholic drinks have a lot of empty calories. If you stop drinking, you might lose weight, especially if you eat healthy and stay active. Try tasty non-alcoholic drinks like a CAROUSE’s alcohol free mojitos instead of high-calorie cocktails to help you stay on track.
● Feeling emotionally balanced
Many people who stay sober for 30 days feel calmer and stronger. Being sober helps you grow and feel better inside.
