Sober Travel: Finding Joy and Balance on the Road with Recovery Rocks

So, just know that we feel like that sometimes too. I think part of it is that we have, when I was more in it like when I would be going to work stuff and I'd be like no I'm not drinking that I know I was in the habit of doing that right you and I are no longer in that habit of being around people who drink oh you know on a regular basis like I would be the only one not drinking at something at least once a week. So I sort of, you know, it really, it did get to a point where it slid off me. I didn't care, but now I'm so rarely exposed to that kind of situation that I think I almost feel it in a more acute way than I did when it was, you know, when I had gotten a little sober time under my belt and it was just how things went, you know? So yeah, in that sense, like it was, I remember because when we were sitting at that table in Italy, for instance, like I was like, Oh yeah, I haven't had to do this lately. You know, be like, no, no, just three glasses. Craig's really good. Craig, Craig jumps in and he'll be like three glasses like it's no big deal yeah whatever um but uh you know we were out with with my friend and his wife and um so like I hadn't worked them and I think you are it's like when we were going to the um the awards thing in new york for the signal awards and we were all excited going to the event and you were like oh it's not a sober event like people are gonna be drinking now we're like oh you know because you're just so used to it right and that's sort of why i think it hit me more acutely in italy than it did say, you know, when I was still working, you know, four years ago when I was still, you know, at a law firm and in those situations a lot. But yeah, yeah. Yeah. It's tough. It's really tough. And I think places are definitely getting better at offering non-alcoholic drink options, at least in New York.
