Welcome

The Heart Behind Sober AF

Meet Stephanie

​

For 40 years, I was the life of the party—the fun girl with shots in her purse, the one who could turn anything into a wild night. Dive bars, house parties, karaoke—if there was a crazy way to take a shot, I was doing it. But there was another side to that story. The side where too many drinks meant embarrassing moments, regret, and functioning at half-mast—either in my hungover state or just coasting through life.

​

The truth is, drinking was a full-time job. The prep, the aftercare, the money spent, the energy wasted. And for what? The fear of missing out? The anxiety of being judged if I didn’t drink? The exhaustion of trying to prove I could keep up? Meanwhile, my depression and anxiety crippled me to the point all I could do was stay in bed and binge reality TV, completely disconnected from the life I thought I was living.

Then I saw Lala Kent (shoutout Vanderpump Rules) get sober on national TV, and I thought, That is f*cking brave and cool. And when Sandoval and Ariana put out their Cocktails AF book, I knew exactly what I wanted to call my space. Six years later, I’m finally channeling my inner Lala, and I’m SOBER, BITCHES.

And let me tell you—sober looks better on me than drunk ever did. That truth makes some people uncomfortable, and they should feel that way. Because sobriety isn’t just about not drinking—it’s about fully showing up for yourself. It’s about owning your authentic self, living without shame, and not settling for a life at half-mast.

That’s why I created Sober AF Zero Proof Bottle Shop. Not just a store, but a space for all my fellow FOMO sober friends to connect, socialize and have FUN! Whether you’re sober, sober curious, or just taking a day off from drinking, we’ve got you. Because the best moments don’t need alcohol. They need you—fully present, fully alive, feeling fabulous and fully Sober AF.
