Staying Sober Under the Sun: Shellie Rone's Summer Survival Guide
It's hard sometimes to be the sober girl. It's incredibly thoughtful to have people in your life really ask them and mean it.
Picture this: it's a sunny day, and everyone around you is gearing up for pool parties, barbecues, and beach trips. Sounds fun, right? But if you're on a sobriety journey, these social events can feel like a minefield. In this episode of 'Remarkably Us', host Shellie Rone dives into her own experiences with summertime sobriety, sharing practical tips and heartfelt stories about staying sober when the sun is shining and the drinks are flowing.
Shellie opens up about her past struggles with summer relapses and the fear of missing out that often accompanies the season. She gets real about the pressure to join in and how it can challenge your commitment to sobriety. But don't worry, she's got some tried-and-true strategies to help you navigate these tricky waters. One of Shellie's top tips is setting boundaries and sticking to routines. She emphasizes the importance of creating a consistent environment that supports self-growth and self-love.
This might mean limiting your attendance at certain events or sticking to a daily routine that keeps you grounded. And what about those social gatherings where everyone else seems to be drinking?

But perhaps the most crucial takeaway from this episode is the power of connection.
Shellie encourages listeners to talk openly about their sobriety journey. Sharing your story can provide a sense of accountability and support, reminding you that you're not alone in this.
