We can't control anything about the situation, about getting to the airport, about what it's like at the airport, being on the plane, the train whatever, going to the beach, being at the wedding, but we can control how we react to it.
Picture this: you're at an airport, surrounded by bustling crowds, and all you want is to keep your sobriety intact. In this episode of Recovery Rocks, co-hosts Tawny Lara and Lisa Smith tackle the unique challenges of traveling without alcohol. They dive into their personal strategies for staying sober on the go, making this episode a treasure trove of practical advice and relatable stories. From the moment you step out the door, travel can be a minefield of triggers.
Tawny and Lisa share how they incorporate the HALT method—don’t get Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired—into their travel routines to manage stress and maintain control. Whether it's navigating social events like weddings or simply dealing with the unpredictability of transit, they offer insights on how sobriety has opened up more choices and freedoms in their lives. One key takeaway? Always have non-alcoholic drink options handy and find an accountability buddy to help you through tough moments.
They also delve into how their preferences and tolerances have shifted since embracing sobriety. And for the music lovers out there, the Music Minute segment features tunes from Billy Idol, Stone Temple Pilots, and documentaries on J. Lo and Lady Gaga. If you're looking for a mix of humor, heartfelt advice, and rock 'n' roll vibes, this episode is your go-to guide for mastering sober travel.
