Do you feel ready to enjoy an alcohol-free summer vacation without compromising your joy and fulfillment?
Whether you stay at home or decide to travel, summer holidays present many environments where alcohol flows freely. Whether you go to social gatherings, parties, events, cocktails, or a friend's house, you'll feel the social pressure to drink. Social pressure to drink might sound childish; still, if you find yourself among people who might not fully understand or support your decision to live alcohol-free, that pressure can be pretty intense.
In today's episode, I share advice and actionable items to help you navigate sobriety during the summer holidays while you enjoy yourself and the company of others. You'll also learn how to deal with the feeling of social isolation we all get when we go against the norm and the fulfilling sentiment of becoming an example to others.
You'll also hear about the importance of being mindful of your thoughts, avoiding ignoring your feelings, and more.
