Sobriety & What it Means to be Alcohol-Free AF

Jan 22

Two years ago, I made the decision to live alcohol-free, and I can honestly say it’s been one of the most transformative decisions of my life. In this episode of Unapologetically Yours, I’m sharing what that journey has looked like—beyond just putting down the glass.

For years, alcohol was just part of life—woven into celebrations, social norms, and even as a tool to unwind. But when I started questioning its place in my life, I realized how much it was holding me back. Choosing sobriety wasn’t about making a bold proclamation or fitting into anyone else’s expectations—it was about reconnecting with myself and what truly matters to me.

Living without alcohol has opened up space I didn’t even know I needed. It’s allowed me to reclaim my creativity, be fully present with my emotions, and strengthen my relationships. It hasn’t always been easy, especially in a culture where drinking is so normalized, but it’s been worth it in ways I can’t even fully explain.

If you’ve ever wondered what life could look like without alcohol—or if you’re just curious about the ripple effects of making an intentional change—this episode is for you.

Here’s what we’ll cover in this episode:

The moments that made me question my relationship with alcohol
How even small changes can transform your creativity and emotional clarity
Practical tips for navigating an alcohol-free lifestyle
Why tuning into your feelings is key to living unapologetically

“When we numb ourselves with alcohol, we’re not just avoiding our emotions—we’re also missing the clues our bodies give us about who we are and what aligns with our purpose.”

— Ashley Logan

Some key takeaways from the episode:

Reflection is powerful. Taking a step back to evaluate what’s serving you can lead to clarity and intentional growth.
Creativity thrives without alcohol. When you’re sober, it’s easier to stay in flow and bring big ideas to life without the disruptions.
Feel everything. Sobriety gives you the space to process emotions fully and connect with what’s real.
Make your relationships a priority. Without alcohol, you can be more present and intentional in the connections that matter most.
Live in alignment. Choosing what’s right for you—not what society expects—leads to a more fulfilling, unapologetic life.

This episode isn’t about judgment or labels—it’s about exploring what feels right for you and giving yourself the freedom to show up fully in your own life.
