I was diagnosed with PCOS in January 2024. I had done enough research beforehand to suspect this might be the case, but hearing it from my doctor still hit me like a ton of bricks. Within minutes of our first meeting, after reviewing my bloodwork, she handed me a sheet with "PCOS" written across the top. I knew things were about to change.

So here I am: 30 years old and sober-curious. Have you heard this term? It’s the cool, new-age way of saying, “I’m interested in seeing what life is like without alcohol,” but without fully declaring yourself sober. (At least, that’s my take on it.) Today marks 39 days of being sober-curious for me, and I thought it’d be the perfect time to reflect on what this journey has been like so far.
