Ep 95: Way Back Wednesday: 5 Keys to Sober Travel

Airports, All-Inclusive Resorts, Family Reunions; Welcome to Summer Travel.

Looking forward to vacation can be one of the highlights of summer – but travel doesn’t always go as planned and the ups and downs can derail even our best intentions around drinking less or not drinking at all.

Travel while alcohol-free or sober curious can be tricky, particularly if it’s early days or our first AF travel experience.

Last spring I shared an episode with my friend and fellow coach Susan Larkin all about the 5 Keys to Sober Travel. As I get ready to travel myself, I thought this would be a great episode to share again. Perhaps you missed it the first, or perhaps it’s time for a reminder! Susan shares her top tips to navigate the messy and the magic parts of travel.
