E230: Staying Sober All Summer Long
Summer’s here—and with it comes road trips, cookouts, sports tournaments, and beach vacations. For those of us in recovery, that can mean a lot of triggers packed into a short season. In this episode, we dive into the real-life challenges of staying sober during summer travel, from boozy parents at soccer games to the loneliness of hotel rooms. We share personal stories of what’s worked, what hasn’t, and why having a plan (and a backup plan) can make all the difference. Whether you’re newly sober or years into recovery, this one’s for anyone navigating a summer without alcohol.
We also talk about the tools that help us stay grounded—meetings, podcasts, community, and remembering to be our “best selves.” Plus, how to deal with FOMO, find connection on the road, and why Zoom meetings are a secret weapon for staying sober anywhere.
