‘Sober curious’? Talk about it in West Seattle on Saturday

| Health | West Seattle news

Things get quiet between Christmas and New Year’s – but here’s one West Seattle event that might interest you next weekend, if you’re planning on reducing or eliminating alcohol consumption in 2026:

SOBER CURIOUS?

Are you doing Sober January and wondering what it would be like to be sober all the time?

Let’s get together to talk about recovery. Fun, local, sober people are ready to share their stories and answer your questions about not drinking, like:

• How can I not drink and still have a social life?
• How would I navigate situations where everyone else is drinking?
• How do I know if I just have a problem with drinking or if I’m an alcoholic?
• Is AA religious? Do I have to believe in God?

There will be an ask-it basket – we take anonymity seriously.
This gathering is Open to Everyone.
This is NOT a recruitment event.

Join us Saturday, December 27, 3-5 pm
Admiral Hub/Bear Island (formerly Admiral Church)
4320 SW Hill St.

Wow – what a great idea!We just introduced NA merlot to one of my in laws & he loved it. He’s getting on in years and unstable on his feet at the best of times. You can teach an elderly dog new tricks!there are lots of non alcoholic drinks out there that are tasty & not too sweet. Cranberry juice, lime & soda water is fab. I used to think I wouldn’t have a good time without alcohol or that people would look at me funny. Not the case at all. And – bonus – no hangovers & spend less!

Perfect place to drop in and see and hear about the benefits of sobriety. I can say this as a recovering alcoholic for the past 55 years. 55 years ago I took the first step after realizing I was having a drinking problem if I was truly honest with myself. That first step as it’s called was engaging with others who were recovering from the addiction to alcohol. It was a learning experience where no one is judged or criticized for their addiction. What I personally got out of it was seeing others that were celebrating hours, days, weeks, months and years of living a life without the use of alcohol. I can only encourage anyone who would like to make a change in their own lives and live without the use of alcohol to take this step. It’s a personal choice that from my experience will be the building block for all things to come. In my own life I can honestly say that it was the best decision I have ever made.

Sorry, comment time is over.
