When I realized my drinking was the problem, I got sober, and it saved my dating life, transforming emotionally charged encounters into genuine connections.
It felt embarrassing to present myself as a dumpster of emotional turmoil, especially as a writer. My sobriety allowed more authentic, light-hearted exchanges on dates.
Drinking made me lose control of my emotions on dates, leading to conversations about estranged friends instead of building chemistry with my date.
Even from thousands of miles away, my sobriety fostered more intimacy during conversations, highlighting how important emotional clarity is in relationships.
