Who is a former party girl extrovert turned alcohol-free mom introvert?
Let me see those hands so others know they aren't alone. ππΌββοΈ
Over the weekend, my son had a soccer tournament, plus he went to his friend's house on Friday night, and then he had a team soccer party on Saturday night. Holy fucking social life.
Let me tell you; I'm an introvert. I always thought I was an extrovert because of alcohol, but nope I'm not very "peopley" (I think I made that word up), and being around people all weekend long was super draining.
I despise small talk.
I'm not a fan of big groups.
And I'd much rather be in my bed reading a good book at 9:30 pm than out picking up my son and chit-chatting.
But guess what? I put on my big girl panties and did it. Was it not my favorite? Sure, but I didn't get sober to be in a bubble and not have my son experience what he enjoys and be around all his friends.
I am ok with who I am at the core. I used to be like, "why can't I just be like so and so who is so upbeat and talking to every person?" That's not me. I have so many other gifts to give to this world that not being a social butterfly doesn't phase me. It is what it is.
If without alcohol you're mourning your past extrovert self, I see you and hear you. It can be an adjustment, but deep down, that was never really you. We don't get this one life on Earth to be fake versions of ourselves.
You are meant for so much more than masking your true, authentic self with alcohol.
I'm concocting a 2 HOUR LIVE GROUP COACHING CALL to kick off Sober October on Friday, October 1st from 5-7 pm EST. All I can say is it's going to be epic.
