  4. 4

    The Concept Rebrand

    4 non-obvious outcomes from quitting drinking (sad girl edition)

Transcript

Four non obvious outcomes from quitting rank, bad girl edition. Number one, I get hit on way less frequently, because I'm just not in the environment of, like, drunken conversations where, like, flirty shit just happens left and right. And I don't no. Probably a good thing. Number two is I lost all of my party friends, AKA my surface level relationships. As soon as I stopped going out to parties, they just stopped inviting me, And I just stopped existing in their worse. But, you know, later I I learned that this is a blessing in disguise. Number three is that I became painfully aware of the anxious thoughts that I have, in my mind repeating all of the time. And unfortunately, those things come knocking at your door, whenever you're bored and alone. Without going out all of the time, those things kept creeping in, and I yes. I just became painfully aware that those are there rank that's important. Number four is I bad a entirely new definition of Sunday scaries. I rebranded them to Friday.
