Avoiding Nightlife

Staying sober can take a lot of work and avoiding certain situations or trigger is highly recommended. During the beginning of your sobriety, it can be difficult to refrain from the cravings you may experience, exposing yourself to those specific cravings can make the situation even worse. If you do find yourself in a situation where friends or family are having drinks, try a mocktail (they can be a fun way to try something new without having to drink). There are also plenty of activities you can partake in that don’t require any substances at all, visit an arcade, go to the beach, take a hike, paint pottery, the possibilities are endless, you just have to be open to new ideas on your new journey.
