Hi buddies.
Though I’ve posted (and still post) sporadically, have an account, and scroll on occasion, I see myself as having left Instagram in 2021, which is when I had a little menty-b and found being out of my fucking mind incompatible with giving advice to strangers on how to live their best life. Way back then, I posted something smart about being lost and how I was gonna BRB, then never really got to the RB, and somehow five years came and went and now here I am, logging onto Instagram with as much technical confidence as my 81-y/o mother, and wondering if the single post I read about sobriety culture ending is something everyone is talking about or something a country singer said that’s being treated as fact.
Which is where you come in, and hopefully answer these questions. Is it true? Is it hype? Are we upset about sobriety culture now, or are we upset about something else?
If you’ve been here for a while, you probably know my own sobriety, as well as my relationship to “sobriety culture” (being one of the creators of it) has changed. I’m not going to rehash that all here because I love you so much and you can only take so many repeats, so there’s links down below if you’re new.
Thank you thank you thank you for your input—it's massively helpful.

Reminder: if you cannot afford a subscription—as in, its groceries and gas or access to my little Substack (not you *could* pay, but it’s not a priority) please email contact@hollywhitaker.com to ask for a comped subscription. Subject line should say “Comped subscription” and text should say “I cannot afford a subscription at this time.”
