E142: How to Make Summer Not Suck Sober

(This episode was first published June 2, 2024)

With summer upon us, it seems everyone is wondering is to have sober fun – without missing alcohol! The warm weather seems to bring its own set of triggers. We invited Rich and Shana to join us this week, to talk about how they’ve learned to not just survive summer, but to truly enjoy it.

In this episode:

• How mocktails can still make summer events feel special
• Preparation: how to know you’re ready for whatever it is you’re wanting to do
• JOMO – letting others be your reminder for why you’re glad you’re sober
• Working through the fear of upcoming situations
• Sharing your goals with others for increased accountability
• Painting a new picture: it’s always looked the same, but now is your chance to decide how it will look going forward
• Sober travel – how to make it fulfilling
• The value of an adrenaline rush when you’re sober
• How to make sure you still have fun, so you don’t feel like you’re missing out
