Is it even possible to have fun without alcohol?

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down one of the most common fears I hear from clients: that life without drinking will feel boring, flat, or lonely. For years, I believed that too—I thought alcohol was what made things fun. But here’s what I’ve learned: alcohol doesn’t actually create fun. It just numbs the things that are standing in the way of fun.

If you’re relying on alcohol to make people more tolerable, events more exciting, or awkwardness more bearable… that’s not freedom. That’s dependence.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

• why alcohol feels like it helps you have fun—and what it’s really doing instead;
• how to tell the difference between genuine enjoyment and just tolerating something;
• what your personal definition of fun actually is (and why that matters);
• ways to reconnect with playfulness, curiosity, and pleasure—without a buzz;
• the long-term cost of alcohol-fueled fun, and what’s waiting for you on the other side.

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “What if I can’t enjoy myself without drinking?”—this episode is for you.
