In this episode of the Sober Friends Podcast, we’re diving into what it really takes to stay sober during the summer—starting with Memorial Day weekend. From cookouts and weddings to long weekends and family parties, the warm-weather season brings all kinds of drinking triggers. Matt, Steve, and John share personal stories and practical strategies for navigating these challenges alcohol-free.
Whether you’re newly sober or have a few summers under your belt, this conversation covers:
- Why early sobriety and social events can feel overwhelming
- How to make a plan and stick to it
- The power of “No” and the importance of exit strategies
- How sponsors and sober friends help you stay grounded
- Reframing fun: finding joy without alcohol
- Where to find sober support during the holidays (yes, meetings still happen!)
This one’s for anyone worried about staying sober when everyone else is reaching for a drink. Spoiler: it’s totally doable—and you’re not alone.
