nyc vlog | eating at a restaurant alone, giving up alcohol for a year

it's weird saying that I'm "sober". it's weird how I can go out and be constantly shoved drinks in my face and the bartender won't back off until I say that I'm "sober". it's weird how normal it is to use alcohol as a means to "loosen up". for a while, I didn't want to admit my giving up of this socially normalized activity because I felt like a prick and I didn't want my friends who do drink to think that I'm ever judging them- this was purely a personal choice because I saw how even just the slightest bit made me feel off.
I hope the realizations that I've made about my healing journey through sobriety help encourage a more normalized nondrinking culture. build that trust within yourself to know that you are enough without succumbing to social pressures.

"Before the Coffee Gets Cold" is so good! (a book you scanned) I appreciate your perspective on quitting alcohol. As a person much older than you, I still had "party hard" friends. I was afraid I'd lose them but knew I'd lose my own self if I couldn't or didn't stop drinking. Those fears were, thankfully, unfounded. And what I found, with or without their support, was peace. And that's incalcuable in it's worth. Proud of you.

The last clip in the mirror is hilarious 😂 silently obsessed with your content for years ❤ so excited for you to continue to explore what life has for you 😘

I stopped drinking the past few weeks and notice a huge difference in my body and mindset. I realized its such a poison to your body.

[@ajahcanty]

just found your channel & I like the way you edit & share some of your thoughts with your viewers !!

[@ItsStyleTheory]

Thanks for sharing your perspective! ♥️ I think drinking or choosing not to drink is a very personal decision. I don’t think there’s a right or wrong answer as long as you’re drinking responsibly. I actually expect/embrace the “junk food” cravings that come at the end of a night out... I’m also very food positive (and in eating disorder recovery) so having guilt around any food type is a no for me. I think anything we choose to put in our bodies is such a personal choice and no one should be judged for it. 💕

[@angelanguyen451]

Hi Tam, thanks for sharing. I'm all for it, we need to do things that feels right to us despite what society 'deems' as 'socially acceptable'. You're not alone girl, wishing you the best for your new place.

[@bullboy]

I've been watching you vods for the past two days, I really enjoy seeing your stories unfold.

[@samanthaa.1565]

[@busra5381]

I really love your videos ❤‍🔥

[@C.yamashita]

I don't drink. I don't like how it makes me feel. But my father (only parent) was an alcoholic and is 12 years sober. But that also left me not a fan of alcohol. When people offer a drink for whatever reason. They get almost offended ... I don't take but I don't care I don't drink and that's that. When I have to explain I've been told to get over it and have a drink. Or having a drink it's the right thing to do. When I spring up growing with an alcoholic the switch to sympathetic and understanding and that's just fucked up

[@joshs.47]

Congrats on your sobriety

[@LavenderLushLuxury]

The food looked so great and amazingly nice... Awesome day in a life, Tammy!!!

[@stefslyfe]

Your vlogs make me so happy. I literally watch/listen to them all day while I’m doing Instacart 😃(oh and you’re a beautiful soul, and an extremely sexy and beautiful young woman, hope that isn’t cringe, just acknowledging what I see as it’s hella refreshing to see someone who is so open about her being in touch with her intellectual and sensual sides but is still hella down to earth and not overly “earthy”😂😂😂….we see you😎
