Why i don’t drink alcohol 😅

Living with fibromyalgia has completely changed my relationship with alcohol. The condition amplifies pain and fatigue, making even a single drink unbearable. It affects my nervous system, amplifying symptoms like muscle pain and sensitivity to touch. So, nights out with cocktails are out of the question.

Instead, I've embraced mocktails with enthusiasm. They offer the social experience without the physical toll. I've discovered creative recipes that satisfy and refresh, from fruity concoctions to herbal infusions. Mocktails allow me to join in celebrations without worrying about flare-ups the next day.

Choosing mocktails isn't just about health—it's about reclaiming joy. These vibrant drinks are a way for me to stay connected, to savor the moment without sacrificing my well-being. They've become a symbol of resilience and adaptation, showing that enjoying life's pleasures doesn't have to compromise health.

So, while I can't drink alcohol, I've found a delicious and satisfying alternative in mocktails that keeps me feeling included and vibrant.
