I love the pink dress you’re wearing in the top pic. Gorgeous. I SO wanted to go to Glastonbury this year. Tried my best to get tickets but had a very happy time watching hours of it at home. I would have been your sober buddy. I’m now very used to not drinking at festivals and parties and genuinely do not miss it. So many advantages. But agree- festivals need to get better at offering stuff beyond coke and Fanta etc. The last (mini) festival I was at this summer was in Brockwell Park- Wide Awake - and I was really surprised to discover it was impossible to find any alcohol free drinks that weren’t lemonade or coke- neither of which I like that much (unless I’m hungover….which of course I never am these days) 😀
I went to a friends mini Glasto at the weekend in their garden in Devon - there was a marquee and dancing and it went on til 4am and I only had one glass of fizz throughout the whole night (that’s constitutes sober to me) and got four hours sleep, woke up having had an excellent time, a solid four hours and felt actually great. I genuinely feel like I’ve been freed by my decision to have sober (ish) nights out. It’s so freeing! Am planning on going to Glasto in ‘27 and I will very much be planning on doing it sober!
Yessssss you're so right, it's freeing more than anything else! I guess it's just that mindset shift (from other people) that it's somehow denying yourself to not drink alcohol. It's actually more like giving yourself a gift ❤️
