Sober
"When I was newly sober, I told a friend (who lived across the country and admittedly hadn’t seen the worst of my drinking) that I was no longer drinking alcohol. “Yeah, but you can still have a glass of wine every now and then, right?” she replied. “It’s not like you’re an addict.” After a little more discussion, it became clear that her conception of an “addict” was not someone like me: a person in her early 20s who had graduated college, gotten a good job and appeared to be holding her life together. Words really do matter. And in a community that already battles shame, judgment, and even hostility, it’s all the more important that we do what we can to break down stigma once and for all." -Katie McBride -
