Lessons from 10 years of living and traveling sober.
Next up on the possible obstacles for sober vacations is, of course, the airport . For most people, the airport is full of triggers, from the security lines that push all your buttons, to the bars that line the terminals, to the mini nips of alcohol on the plane that you swear might have actually called your name out loud.
I always travel with a water bottle and my own snacks so I have something to sip on and don't have to order anything if I don't want to. This also prevents dehydration and hunger, which can both send cravings to your body that mimic wanting a drink.If you have a fun activity already booked in the morning, it’s going to be much easier to call it an early night.
Finally, don’t feel guilty for needing certain accommodations or wanting to make certain tweaks to the itinerary. If you’re traveling with someone, have a conversation before the trip to get on the same page about your mindset—for example, that you’re obviously going to want to plan some alcohol-free activities. It’s important to voice healthy boundaries to friends and family, and you shouldn’t feel like a burden for doing so.
When you change what you look for, the things you look for change. It’s funny how your priorities shift when catching a buzz isn’t at the top of your to-do list. Trips start to become much more focused on taking in the smells, food, character, and ambiance of our surroundings when our minds are less clouded.Consider this the antidote to that “I need a vacation from my vacation” feeling. So often our vacations revolve around partying, which tend to leave us feeling exhausted instead of refreshed.
Another fun idea is to indulge in a gift for yourself with the money you save from not buying alcohol. I always find a piece of jewelry or locally made apparel to splurge on and take home with me as a memory—one that I’ll actually remember.
