You’ve made it deep into your first sober summer when everything in your daily life is about to shift: it’s time for your first sober vacation. The change in scenery, the days of travel, and the upending of your daily routine can feel daunting. You might also be worried if a vacation can even feel fun without alcohol (spoiler alert: the answer is yes!).

Today I’ll walk you through how to prepare yourself before, during, and after your first sober vacation. We’ll talk through how to navigate the airport, integrating community support into your days, types of places and situations to avoid, and what you can intentionally build into your travel itinerary to support you.
