I love how confident you are in your resolve to not drink—it’s so inspiring and motivating!

For anyone else reading this who might not feel as certain yet, I just want to share another perspective. Sometimes cultural or family dynamics can make it challenging to say no. In certain situations, like in my experience with a friend’s mom, refusing food or drink can be seen as disrespectful. Even after I said no, she kept offering until my friend had to step in and shut it down because she wasn’t hearing me.

That’s why these tips are so helpful. And if you’re in a space where it feels hard to say no, know that I see you, and you’ll get stronger in your resolve, just like Portia has. Keep going, you got this. As do I ❤️🫂!
