Summary
Grab your passport, flip flops and sunscreen, the boarders are open so a trip abroad might be just around the corner. But what does a holiday look like now the mini bar is off limits?
As a newly sober soul, holidays or weekends away are daunting. You're used to cocktails by the pool, sundowners at the beach bar and shots at the local nightclub... So now what? Hide in the hotel room in a cosy bathrobe and order room service?
NO!! Sober people deserve a holiday too, you just need to be prepared and reframe your time away from home.
On this hilarious episode Vic and Lucy will delve into messy drinking holidays of the past, compare them to sober holidays and take you through the steps you need to put in place to ensure you're not tempted by 'just one' Pina Colada. They learnt, after a lot of mistakes, that time away without booze... can actually (drum roll) be better than ever before.
So, get packing! It's time for your sober vacation.
