Have you ever worried that by quitting alcohol, you’re missing out on fun, connection, or important experiences? The fear of missing out—FOMO—is incredibly common in sobriety. But what if you’re actually gaining far more than you’re giving up?
In this episode of the Quit Drinking Alcohol Podcast, we explore why FOMO shows up after quitting drinking, how to reframe those feelings, and how to build a life that feels rich, meaningful, and full of true connection—without alcohol.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- Why FOMO happens in early sobriety and why it’s completely normal.
- How to reframe your perspective and focus on what you’re gaining, not losing.
- Practical tips for navigating social situations and staying grounded in your alcohol-free lifestyle.
I’ll also share personal stories about facing FOMO head-on—and how overcoming it made my life not just different, but better than I ever imagined.
What to Listen to Next:
Join me for Episode 28, where we’ll talk about managing anger and frustration without alcohol—and how to process big emotions in healthy, empowering ways.
