Sam's Sober Update

The Samantha Parker Show

Today, I'm diving deep into my sobriety journey, especially focusing on how I've managed to travel while staying sober. It's been challenging but also incredibly fulfilling. I've gathered some of my best tips that have helped me navigate through various trips and experiences without alcohol.

Helpful Tips for Being Sober While Traveling:

1. Always Have a Drink Plan: Pack aesthetic non-alcoholic drinks like Recess or Poppi in a cooler so you won't be tempted to drink alcohol.
2. Keep a Drink in Hand: Replace the urge for alcoholic beverages with fun, non-alcoholic options such as lattes, juices, or flavored sodas.
3. Ask for What You Need: Don't hesitate to request your drink in a fancy glass with a fresh garnish to feel included during social toasts and cheers.
4. Remove Yourself from Triggers: Feeling agitated? Walk away from the situation to clear your mind and reset your focus.
5. Give Yourself Grace: Accept that triggers may happen and allow yourself the space to navigate them without guilt.
6. Be Open About Your Journey: Encourage conversations about your sobriety to make it more manageable and less of a "dirty little secret."
7. Play the Tape Forward: Think about the long-term consequences of taking that "one" drink to remind yourself why you chose sobriety.
8. Focus on What's Important: Remember that certain experiences and relationships are more valuable than the temporary pleasure of drinking.
9. Have a Support System: Randomly calling friends or family helps shift focus from the urge to drink and provides emotional support.
