Episode description
Matt was inspired by Gill Tietz's Sober Powered episode, Staying Sober During the Holidays. The episode is much less staying sober during the holidays, and more staying sober at events where booze is available. Practicable advice for those in recovery for anytime.
- BBQs
- Work parties
- Concerts
- Ect
John, Matt and Steve talked about their experience being on guard for the unguarded moment. In this episode we talk about:
- Keeping your drink in your hand. If you put it down, get another
- Tell a bartender you are not drinking and stick with that person (thanks Gill)
- Our thoughts on non-alcoholic versions of an alcoholic drink
- How people put booze in food and to watch out.
This is great advice for anyone looking at sobriety, new or old.
