Kyle Richards Shares Her Sober Party Secrets

Kyle Richards reveals her favorite non-alcoholic drinks for surviving Hollywood parties without feeling left out.

Major Sobriety Milestone

Actress Kyle Richards is celebrating a big milestone this week – four years of staying away from alcohol. Recently, Kyle shared her feelings and thoughts on the long journey on social media.

She reflected on the road, highlighting how grateful and happy she is for everything that has happened.

Making The Decision

She shared that she decided to quit drinking because it had stopped benefiting her in any way. During a time when she needed to feel better, alcohol was not giving her any good moments. She did not want to waste any more days with something that was only harming her physically and spiritually.

Social Challenges

Since she was already a known personality, her decision did not come easily due to the social challenges that came along with it. Friends and fans had gotten used to seeing her “fun” side when they met at parties.

She shared that her decision was met with harsh reactions and that she was seen as crazy for not drinking anymore. Kyle refused to let the opinions of others change what she wanted to do for herself.

Mindset Shifts

She shared that one of the most significant takeaway points of this whole journey has been seeing people’s reactions and realizing that it was a reflection of their insecurities.

After being sober for years, she has discovered that many people’s dislike and fear of her decision are triggered by their own low self-Image.

Understanding this helped her deal with the disapproval of sobering up while still staying clear on why she made her decision in the first place. This helped her stay away from the negative energy.

Inner Peace

What surprised Kyle most about being clean and sober for so long was that she discovered a strange but outstanding amount of inner peace.

She had gone through very challenging times and was walking through some of the most challenging phases of life. However, the inner peace allowed her to handle those tough moments better than ever before.

Being Smart About Drinks

When it comes to attending Hollywood events, she had to be quite creative to avoid the constant stream of liquor flowing from the bars.

To have fun without having to drink something boring like water throughout an entire party, she prefers to have low-sugar carbonated sparkling wine or non-alcoholic beer.

Taking sips from a classic wine glass helps her feel like she is still participating in all the festivities, while at the same time, it helps deter persistent guests from trying to get her to drink.

No Regrets In The Morning

The most important thing that makes her decision to stay away from alcohol easier is that she wakes up in the morning and realizes that the only thing she has to be sorry for is missing out on short-term fun.

She always focuses on the fact that drinking at night to feel better at a loud party is never worth dealing with the regret and terrible feeling the morning after. Focusing on waking up refreshed and sober gives her motivation to keep going the entire day.

Staying Connected

Being a part of the same social circle but being on different paths for long-term goals can be quite challenging at times. However, being a sober alcoholic does not mean being lonely.

Although she has several friends who are still quite enthusiastic about getting drunk and high at any social events, Kyle cherishes her time with everyone who respects her choice.

People who hold their liquor in check also hold their tongue, which helps everyone have a good time in general.

Inspiring A Like-Minded Group

By sharing her story and journey, Kyle aims to inspire and motivate others who are thinking about making similar changes in their lives.

Since she has gone through the process, she always encourages others to know that they should not feel obligated to get drunk and waste their time entertaining other people at any gathering. They must focus on keeping their bodies healthy and their minds clear.

Looking Back At Four Years

Looking back at the time she has dedicated to her sobriety journey, she is overwhelmed with feelings of gratitude. She is so happy to have become the healthier and happier version of herself.

At that moment, she had no idea how long she would continue loving herself for deciding for her body, but it is already a huge achievement. She looks forward to many more years of being better and healthier in the future.
