194 | Sober Summer Survival Guide: What Actually Helps

Summer can feel intimidating when you stop drinking.

BBQs, concerts, vacations, patios, camping trips, lake days, and holidays often seem completely tied to alcohol. If you’re heading into your first sober summer wondering how you’re supposed to enjoy any of it without drinking, you are not alone.

In this episode, we talk honestly about:

• the fear of missing out
• social anxiety in sobriety
• awkward first sober events
• feeling left out
• discovering what you actually enjoy
• finding joy without alcohol
• and what makes a sober summer genuinely fulfilling

We share real stories from our own early sober summers, including the parts that were hard, the parts that surprised us, and the moments that made sobriety feel worth it.

If you’ve been afraid summer is going to feel miserable without alcohol, this conversation is for you.
