Mastering Social Situations as a Sober Person

One of the biggest challenges of sobriety is navigating social situations where alcohol or drugs are present. Whether it’s a family gathering, a work event, or a night out with friends, being the only sober person in the room can feel awkward, uncomfortable, or even isolating. Many people in recovery worry about how they will fit in, what others will think, and how to handle the pressure to drink or use substances.
