Episode 162

Are you sober and ready to enjoy an alcohol-free vacation?

If you aren't sure, that's okay; you don't have to rush it!

When I quit drinking at 45, I took my first trip sober about four months later, and I was (very) nervous that I would drink.

What happened during that first trip helped me stay sober during the next vacation and every travel experience I've had in the past 7+ years of sobriety.

You can vacation and staycation without drinking and ENJOY the heck out of yourself!  

Oh, Joy!
