Sober Awkward — By Victoria Vanstone

Being sober gives so much. It makes the world a much nicer place to be. I feel happier, lighter and I’m no longer at risk of being arrested. But, honestly, even though sobriety can some days feel like a never-ending journey of self-love, it does have some rocky moments. That means when I’m not skipping through fields picking daisies while singing ‘Walking on Sunshine’ I pass a lot of time feeling awkward.

Awkward because I don’t know what to say, awkward because I don’t know how to relax and awkward because I’m not the person I was.
