Example

Jess realized most of her socializing revolved around alcohol, and it wasn’t serving her anymore. She started suggesting morning hikes, sober game nights, or just meeting for coffee instead. At first, she was nervous people would find it boring — but the opposite happened. The conversations were deeper, the laughs more real, and she actually remembered them the next day. Her sleep improved, her weekends were more fulfilling, and she built stronger friendships that weren’t dependent on drinking to feel fun.
