How to Have Fun Without Alcohol: Sober Events, Alcohol-Free Community & Making Friends w/o Drinking
<p>Wondering how to have fun without alcohol, or how to make friends when every plan seems to revolve around drinking? In the final episode of this three-part series on ShameOver, the podcast about drinking less and living on purpose, Erica Mallery wraps up her conversation with Alex, founder of Claritee Circle, a wellbeing community built to help people find what works for them.</p><p>Alex shares why he created Claritee Circle after seeing how many amazing coaches, therapists, nutritionists, and events were scattered in tiny pockets with no central home. You'll hear how his sober corporate events drew thousands of guests, why he's committed to keeping a free version available to everyone, and how the platform connects people with expert support and resources, whether they're sober, sober curious, or just trying to drink less.</p><p>Erica and Alex also get into the part many people struggle with most: what to do instead of drinking. They talk about alcohol-free social events, 7am coffee raves, sober dancing, and wellness festivals, and how stepping out of your comfort zone can lead to real connection, play, and belly laughs without alcohol. If you've ever worried about being judged, feeling awkward, or losing your social life when you cut back, this one is for you.</p><p><b><strong>In this episode, you'll learn:</strong></b></p><ul><li>How to have fun and socialize without alcohol</li><li>Ideas for alcohol-free events and sober activities, from coffee raves to wellness festivals</li><li>How to make new friends and find community when your social life revolves around drinking</li><li>Why "nobody is judging you" is truer than your brain wants you to believe</li><li>How Claritee Circle connects you with coaches, events, and free wellbeing resources</li><li>Why play and joy are essential parts of drinking less and staying alcohol-free</li></ul><p><b><strong>Listen, subscribe, and follow ShameOver for more real, judgment-free conversations about drinking less and living with intention</strong></b></p><p>Connect with Alex and Claritee Circle:</p><ul><li> www.clariteegroup.co.uk</li><li>www.claritee-group.cirlce.so</li></ul><p>Connect with Erica + ShameOver: <a href="https://shameover.me/quiz" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://shameover.me/</a></p><ul><li>Take the What Type of Drinker Are You?
