‘Sober as a judge’ is so misleading. In my experience, sober people are the least judgmental people ever. I don’t know about those who’ve never drunk, but those who are ex-boozehounds? Not judgy. There’s a saying in the sober community. ‘If you’ve shagged a zebra, I’ve probably shagged two.’ Sums it up, neatly. Basically, please never feel like an ex-drinker is judging you for drinking. Because they’ve been there. And have probably done a lot worse than you are doing right now.
