The Sober Mom Life

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.

Get more ideas on how to navigate your first sober vacation in this Sober Mom Life episode from 2023.

As we enter the 4th of July weekend I want to remind you that no matter how hard it feels right now, your sobriety is bigger than one weekend, or one holiday, or one party. The choice you’re making to leave alcohol behind will absolutely feel hard in some moments - let it feel hard! You can face the discomfort, I promise. And also - let yourself also feel the joy of the freedom, clarity, and hangover-free mornings you’re giving yourself by choosing sobriety.

My sober podcasting pal Casey Davidson, host of the Hello Someday Podcast, is back on the pod! Together we’ll tackle a common sober first: your first sober work conference. Casey has had tons of experience at work conferences, both while she was drinking and while she’s been sober, and she’s full of advice.

Casey will share about the conference experience that served as a wakeup call for her drinking. We’ll talk about how unsafe women can be at these events when alcohol is in the mix. And Casey will share how she prepares for and navigates work conferences sober.

Remember: a lot of time at conferences is your time! You don’t have to go to every planned event. There are so many ways that you can create your own wonderful and unique sober conference experience.

One of the biggest sober firsts of the summer is the 4th of July. In a society that turns to alcohol for celebration, it can feel challenging to swim against the tide and choose sobriety this Independence Day. But I promise - you’ve got this!
This episode is special! It was my very first solo episode of the entire podcast in 2022. I was so impressed with the tips that little baby sober Suz shared that I’m bringing it back for you today.
You’ll find tips that will help you feel supported and confident on your first sober 4th of July.
It’s possible that today might be more than just bearable - it might also be so fun!
