If you’ve ever wondered what happens to your friendships when you stop drinking, you are so not alone. Because when alcohol has been the glue holding your social life together, stepping away from it can feel like pulling a thread that unravels everything. In this episode of The Hello Someday Podcast, I sat down with Dr. Kimberly Horn, research psychologist and author of Friends Matter, For Life, to talk all about how to build and nurture friendships that actually support your alcohol-free life — and why connection is crucial for your emotional health and sobriety journey. I asked Dr. Horn to share practical, research-backed tools you can use to create meaningful connections and friendships in sobriety — even if you’re feeling lonely, awkward, or like you’re starting over socially. (And yes, there are actionable steps you can take today!)
