Traveling Sober: Real Stories and Practical Tips from The Bubble Hour

I really couldn't predict how out of control I might get, even at a work event, and I kind of I was like you, Sharon, that about. So you know about six or seven weeks of travel, and I really put all of the sobriety stuff for the test right out of the gate.
Imagine you're on vacation, basking in the sun by the pool, but instead of relaxing, you're anxious about the open bar just a few steps away. Or picture yourself at a wedding in Napa, surrounded by flowing wine and champagne toasts. These scenarios can be daunting for anyone trying to stay sober while traveling. In this episode of 'The Bubble Hour', host Jean McCarthy and co-host Katherine tackle these exact challenges with their guest Sharon.
Sharon opens up about her struggles with sobriety on the road, including her fear of flying that often triggered a desire to drink. She shares candid stories about facing social pressures at work events and weddings where alcohol is ever-present. Together, they dive into practical strategies for maintaining sobriety while away from home. They discuss the importance of building a 'sober bubble' that you can carry with you wherever you go.
This bubble is filled with supportive people, self-care practices, and tools to resist social pressure. From indulging in a spa treatment to staying connected with sober friends, they cover a range of tips to help you stay on track. The conversation also highlights the role of community support, such as listening to podcasts like 'The Bubble Hour', in providing inspiration and encouragement.
The episode wraps up on an uplifting note, reminding listeners that they are not alone in their journey to sobriety. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or planning your first sober trip, this episode offers valuable insights and heartfelt stories to help you stay strong and enjoy your travels without alcohol.
