They kick things off by acknowledging how tempting it can be to let loose.
'Vacation is a great time to suspend all the rules and drink as much as we want. Hey, it's 5pm somewhere!' one host quips. But they quickly shift gears to the importance of having a plan to avoid relapse. 'If you're going on vacation, you gotta let the people around you know that I have this problem,' another host advises.
The trio shares practical tips like collecting phone numbers of supportive friends, attending early meetings, and using apps like WhatsApp to stay connected. They stress the importance of communicating your needs to those around you and being open about your struggles. Throughout the episode, they highlight the benefits of a sober vacation, such as being fully present and enjoying experiences without the haze of alcohol. The hosts also emphasize the supportive community of recovery and the power of gratitude.
