Fourth of July, vacations, backyard parties… this time of year brings a variety of activities, which sometimes throw off daily routines and social settings. And while many enjoy the outdoor activities that come with the warmer days, the “party” atmosphere can feel challenging for those in recovery for a substance use or alcohol disorder.
We want you to navigate this sun-soaked season with some helpful tips:
1. Be vocal about your sobriety. It brings accountability.
2. Have a support person on speed dial that you can call if you need help.
3. Go to a meeting before or after the event/party.
4. Don’t put yourself in a vulnerable position or go to someplace where you are the only sober person.
5. Have a plan or an exit strategy.
