Sober October? Yeah, that’s a hard NO from me. 
I’ve seen all this talk about Sober October floating around and, honestly, I just have one thing to say: absolutely not. There’s no way on this earth that I’m giving up my beloved red wine for an entire month. Nope. Not happening.
Life’s tough enough without depriving myself of the one thing that keeps me somewhat sane after a long day. Plus, what’s a cozy autumn evening without a glass (or two) of red in hand? 
The mere thought of a wine-free October has me sweating more than a menopausal hot flush. Let’s be real—October without wine is just another level of madness I’m not prepared to handle.

Cheers to staying true to who I am—a wine-loving, midlife woman who knows her limits... and apparently, not drinking wine isn’t one of them!
