☀️🏖️🍉 Tips for Staying Sober while enjoying the Summer & 4th of July! ❤️🇺🇸💙
Do you have some fun things planned over the weekend & on the 4th of July?
For many this Weekend will be all about BBQs, Pool Parties & Celebrating. Spending the holiday with people who are not in recovery doesn’t have to mean putting your sobriety at risk.

Check out these tips to help you stay on track with your recovery:
1. Throw a Sober Party or Picnic!
2. Go to sobriety meetings every day. Click here for the meeting schedule for Zoom & In-person!
3. Call several sober people a day. Each sobriety program has a phone list of people willing to take calls
4. Volunteer to keep yourself busy and to get the “Helper’s High.” People who help others are happier than those who seek happiness on their own
5. Make a plan to stay sober with a sponsor, family or other sober people
6. Bring sober companions to places where alcohol may be served
7. “Bookend” (talk to someone before a difficult event and then after the event) with a sober buddy when going to family, job or other places alcohol or drugs may be present
8. Stay in Gratitude. See the positives in one’s life
9. Keep yourself busy with safe, meaningful activities, e.g. binge-watch shows, exercise, faith community, volunteering, movies, video games, shopping, etc.
10. When attending events where alcohol may be present, bring a sober friend, keep a soft drink in your hand so no one offers you an alcoholic drink. Avoid talking to people who trigger bad feelings, consider not attending events that pose high risks of relapsing or plan to leave early
11. Use your own transportation to the event or come with someone sober so you can leave if you need to
12. Practice self-care —eat well, sleep well, take care of your needs, and give yourself credit for every little thing you accomplish
