What do you want to know about sober travel? I just got back from Provence, where I spent two weeks with 3 sober girlfriends and we’re here to share everything you need to know to plan and enjoy an awesome sober vacation.
Provence is a beautiful area of France known for its small hilltop villages, river valleys, markets, food, lavender and wine. All the wine. They’ve made wine for 2,600 years and have over 600 producers in the region.
But don’t let that scare you off! Even in an area famous for alcohol, you can travel alcohol-free and enjoy your trip so much more than you would if you were drinking.
On this sober vacation I traveled with 3 girlfriends I met in sobriety. My friend Ingrid and I are both 8 years alcohol-free, Margaret is 7 years alcohol-free and Megan is 5 years sober.
The 4 of us all met in sobriety, through various groups and podcasts and retreats and friends and decided to explore a region typically known for wine, alcohol-free and had the most fantastic time together.

How do you get and stay sober when you have a partner or family member who drinks problematically?
While quitting drinking can be difficult for everyone, it can be especially difficult if you don’t have the support of your spouse, partner or the closest people in your life.
And if someone in your family has a drinking problem that they’re not willing to address or admit to, it can make your home, emotional and social environment a minefield of triggers to navigate.
I asked Erinn O’Neill, a health and wellness coach and co-host of the 2 Sober Girls Podcast, to share her experience with Al-Anon and how it can support women if they’re dealing with a partner, family member or friend who is struggling with alcohol.
Erinn stopped drinking 5 years ago by going to a 30-Day inpatient rehab program and attending 12-Step Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. She also attends Al-Anon.
In our conversation Erinn also shares her own experience with going to a 30-Day rehab program and what you might want to consider when evaluating and selecting a rehab if that’s right for you.

Why do you crave alcohol and why is it so easy to go from drinking casually to habitually?
Why is it hard to moderate your drinking?
How does alcohol affect your sleep and why do you wake up at 3am after drinking?
Why does alcohol make you feel relaxed and then more anxious the next morning?
How does alcohol affect your brain, body, mood and stress hormones?
Is it true that alcohol can be good for you in small doses?
What are the symptoms of alcohol withdrawal?
If you have questions about alcohol, William Porter, author of Alcohol Explained and Alcohol Explained 2: Tools for a Stronger Sobriety has the answers.
As William writes, "Alcohol is a deceptive drug. It creates the illusion of pleasure and relaxation while causing the very anxiety and discomfort it purports to relieve."
In today's episode, William Porter breaks down these questions and more. He provides a clear, scientific explanation of what happens to your body and mind when you consume alcohol.

In a boozy world it can be pretty daunting to socialize sober when you stop drinking.
When you go to a restaurant the first thing they hand you is the drinks menu with all the wine, beer and cocktails offered.
When you walk into a party someone will immediately ask you what you want to drink and tell you where you can grab an alcoholic beverage.
And it seems like every sports event, dinner, holiday, concert, picnic and kids’ birthday party is a drinking event these days.
So I asked Susie Streelman to join me to talk about how to socialize sober.
We want to give you actionable, practical strategies that you can use today to handle events like a sober pro.

Did you know that stepping away from your smartphone can help you lead a more peaceful and fulfilling life?
These days the devices in our pockets make us constantly connected, always available, overstimulated and interrupted by pings, reminders and vibrations.
Our phones have increased the pace, efficiency and convenience of our lives, but studies show they’ve also increased our anxiety, depression, and loneliness.
I remember the days before smartphones as a slower and more peaceful time in my life. But I love my phone and it’s the tool I use more than any other.
It’s my credit card, address book, alarm clock, meditation app, sleep sounds, encyclopedia, map and dictionary. How did I navigate life without it?
I asked Jennie Ketchum-Crooks, an anxiety and OCD specialist, to help me dive deep into the mental health impacts of digital overconsumption and how a digital detox can help us combat anxiety and foster healthier, more meaningful lives.

If you're not feeling 100% happy in your life, you might be surprised as to the reasons why.
It turns out the "science of happiness" has found that a lot of the things we've been told will make us happy, don't actually bring us joy, contentment and satisfaction.
And if you're a woman in midlife you might suspect that's true.
We've been taught that if we accomplish and achieve the things on the external "measures of success", then we'll be happy.
It might be climbing the corporate ladder, making a certain amount of money, getting married, having kids, buying the house, going on fancy vacations, eating and drinking at nice restaurants or dive bars with your girlfriends or partner, opening a bottle of wine to "relax" and "celebrate", having a perfect and aspirational Instagram feed (or insert your "thing that will make me happy when I finally achieve it" here).
What if you're doing all that, you have all the blessings, and you feel overwhelmed, stressed out, dissatisfied, lonely, irritated, resentful or bored?
I've asked Dr. Laurie Santos, a Professor of Psychology at Yale University, host of The Happiness Lab podcast and expert on the science of happiness to help us learn practical strategies to cultivate genuine happiness.

Early sobriety is an emotional and tender time, so I wanted to share with you my diary of my first 30 days sober, which has somehow turned into 6 continuous years alcohol-free.
6 years ago I woke up on the couch at 3am after drinking a bottle of wine. I came upstairs to crawl into bed with my husband filled with anxiety and unable to fall back to sleep.
In the morning I had to get up, get ready and take my kids to school with a headache, bloodshot eyes and a hangover while trying to ignore my husband’s question of “how are you feeling this morning?”
And while that morning was no different than many others, somehow on that day I decided that I couldn’t do this to myself anymore. I had been trying to cut back on my drinking and moderate it, but it wasn’t working. I realized that I had to make a change and take a break from drinking and I needed support.
So I reached out to a sober coach, Belle Robertson of Tired Of Thinking About Drinking, and signed up to work with her.

Have you been thinking about taking a break from drinking, only to decide that you’re “not that bad”?
Most women who wonder if they’re drinking too much can look around and find lots of reasons why it’s not a “real issue”.
We’ve been told that having a problem with alcohol is black or white. Either you fall into the category of someone who is “an alcoholic” or who has a “drinking problem", or you don’t.
But in truth binge drinking among women has become so normalized that it’s easy to dismiss any worries you have about your alcohol consumption by looking at friends and family members who drink like you do.
A lot of women fall into a category known as “gray area drinking” where your drinking falls between the extremes of having negative consequences from alcohol consumption and being able to take it or leave it on occasion.
You don’t have to have a drinking problem to decide that drinking isn’t helping you be your best self. And you don’t need to be an alcoholic to benefit from a longer period of time alcohol-free.

Is your home set up to support your sobriety or sabotage your efforts to lead an alcohol-free life?
If you’re used to opening a bottle of wine the minute you walk in the door, having a cocktail on the back deck or curling up on the couch with your laptop or netflix after the kids go to bed, your home environment can be a powerful trigger to drink.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. The way you live and design your environment can make it harder or easier to be alcohol-free. And especially in early sobriety you need to build a sober bubble.
When I quit drinking, in order to build my sober bubble I needed to remove all the wine from my house.
I also needed to create a sober sanctuary where I could retreat to after dinner. A place to support a new evening routine that didn’t include drinking on my couch after the kids went to bed.
So I spent some time making my bedroom a place that sparked joy and supported peace and calm in the evenings.
I created a space that supported my new alcohol-free lifestyle. One in which I took care of my body and myself.
Simple changes can reduce cravings to drink and create a nurturing space for self care and sobriety.
I asked Caroline Thor, a KonMari® Consultant and the host of the Living Clutter Free Forever podcast, to share how you can create a home that supports your ideal alcohol-free lifestyle.

Sober travel can feel like you're running through a gauntlet of offers and opportunities to drink. From airport bars to business dinners to all inclusive cocktails, alcohol seems to be everywhere when you are trying to not drink.
But I'm going to set you up for success so you'll be able to enjoy and appreciate sober travel (even if every trip you’ve taken since college has featured cocktails on the beach, wine tasting tours and boozy pubs).
With these 10 tips you'll be able to navigate your next business trip and sober vacation like a pro!
I asked Margaret Ward, who has led alcohol-free trips for women in Greece, Croatia, Norway, Italy and Portugal to join me to share our tips and strategies that will help you plan and enjoy sober vacations, survive airports, business trips and visits with the in-laws without diving into a bottle of wine.

When I was drinking I used alcohol to check out after a hard day, numb out from irritation and resentment, make the monotony of adulting less boring and as a reward to look forward to for getting through another week.
And when drinking left me with too many hangovers, sleepless nights and crushing anxiety I finally decided that I didn’t want to feel that way anymore and (slowly) pieced together 30, 60, 100, 180+ days alcohol-free.
It’s not easy, but it is pretty clear how to do the “sobriety” thing. When you don’t drink, you’re sober!
But in order to “stay” sober, learning how to practice emotional sobriety can keep you balanced and happy in an alcohol-free life.
Emotional sobriety is all about handling your emotions in a healthy, balanced way without turning to alcohol to cope with life’s challenges.
It’s really important for long-term recovery because ignoring your mental and emotional health can get you in a place where it’s really attractive to escape with alcohol.

Rekindling romance and managing conflict in intimate relationships is something a lot of women struggle with—whether it's why they drink or a challenge they face after stepping away from alcohol.
Figuring out how to handle conflicts, set boundaries, and connect with your partner can be really tough, especially when alcohol has been your go-to for socializing or managing stress.
Whether or not you realize it, drinking has probably influenced the ways you are used to connecting, communicating and managing conflict with your partner.
So if you feel disconnected from your partner, don’t know how to manage conflict or get back the spark you used to have, we’re here to help!
I asked Anna Aslanian, a marriage and family therapist, for her guidance on how to rekindle romance and manage conflict in your relationship.

In this special anniversary episode, I’m celebrating four incredible years of the Hello Someday Podcast, marked by 214 episodes and 1.5 million downloads. It's been an amazing journey, and I'm deeply grateful to each and every one of you who has joined me along the way.
To mark this occasion, I'm thrilled to revisit my top guest interview of all time: my conversation with Holly Whitaker, author of The New York Times best-selling book Quit Like A Woman, The Radical Choice To Not Drink In A Culture Obsessed with Alcohol.
Holly's book holds a special place in my heart as she was a big part of my own sobriety journey.
In this episode Holly and I talk about the role of alcohol in society and its impact on women, why to embrace the trial-and-error nature of quitting drinking and why phrases like "Never Question the Decision" (NQTD) can serve as powerful mantras on the journey to sobriety.
We also dive into how much the recovery movement has shifted in the last 10 years as more women are speaking out about their decision to stop drinking.
Quit Like A Woman has been described as a groundbreaking look at drinking culture and a road map to cutting out alcohol that will change the way you look at drinking forever. I know you’re going to love this conversation with Holly.

I describe myself as an ex-red wine girl and a recovering people-pleaser. And if you’re wondering how those two things are connected we’re going to dig into that because as you start to navigate sobriety, boundaries are going to be your very best friend.
Have you fallen into a people-pleasing pattern?
Maybe you’re an overachiever who takes care of everything and everyone.
Maybe you’re the happy, agreeable girl who spends a lot of time “reading the room” to anticipate the emotions of others so you can put them at ease.
Maybe you’re uncomfortable with conflict and would rather stuff down negative emotions than share them with the people in your life.
Maybe you’re afraid to say no because you want people to like you.
Maybe you’re terrified of disapproval so you’re anxious, self-critical and a perfectionist.
Maybe you’re so busy meeting others’ expectations that you have trouble identifying your own wants, needs and feelings.
Maybe you’re externally motivated, anxiously seeking the validation of your parents, teachers, boss, spouse, children or friends.
It even sounds exhausting. And those ingrained patterns of behavior can make you want to drink to check out from overwhelm, resentment, sadness, loneliness, stress, irritation, unhappiness or feeling unappreciated.
I asked my good friend Hailey Magee, a certified coach who helps people around the world break the people-pleasing pattern and master the art of self-advocacy and author of the book, Stop People Pleasing and Find Your Power to help me unpack people-pleasing, boundaries and why they matter in sobriety.

Are mindfulness practices part of your sober toolbox? If not, they should be. Mindfulness in sobriety can help you manage cravings, reduce stress and anxiety, regulate your emotions, increase self awareness, support your overall well-being, mental health and prevent relapse.
I know those are big promises, so let’s break down what mindfulness is, how you practice it and apply it to your sobriety.
So if you’re ready to dive into all things mindfulness in sobriety I asked my friend Deb Masner, host of the Alcohol Tipping Point podcast, to dive into what mindfulness is and how to use it to support your recovery and alcohol-free life.

If you’ve spent a bunch of years opening a bottle of wine to deal with stress and overwhelm, to celebrate or reward yourself for making it to the end of the week, it may feel awkward or hypocritical to talk with your kids about the risks of addiction to alcohol.
But in a culture obsessed with booze, being able to help your kids understand the impact that alcohol and drugs can have on their lives and how to identify risks and behaviors that can lead to substance abuse and dependence is important - arguably even more important than all the hours we spend helping them with algebra homework and cheering them on at baseball and soccer games.
I asked Jessica Lahey, author of The Addiction Inoculation, Raising Healthy Kids In A Culture Of Dependence to share what parents can do to help kids recognize their risk for alcohol addiction, spot signs of early abuse and navigate our boozy world without falling into the trap of substance use and dependence.
It’s information I wish I had known when I started drinking and in looking at the risk factors for dependence it also gave me a new level of understanding of why alcohol was such a compelling drug in my life and compassion for myself for falling into the drinking cycle.

Have you ever stopped drinking but then struggled to stay sober after a bit? You’re not alone.
The best way to stay sober is to focus on building a life you love without alcohol. It’s about not only putting down the wine glass, but also shifting the way you’ve been living your life so that you no longer want to numb yourself at the end of the day.
If you’ve been worried about your drinking for a while, have tried to moderate and made (and broken) all the rules about when and how much to drink and finally have sober momentum, it is something to celebrate and protect.
Whether you’ve been sober for a month, 4 months, 6 months or a year, there are steps you should take to stay on the alcohol-free path, build a life you love and guard against going back to drinking.
First let’s break down why women might go back to drinking after a period of sobriety.
The four most common reasons women drink after a period of sobriety are boredom, stress, loneliness and hormonal changes before their period or in perimenopause.
They’re also big reasons women have fallen into the drinking cycle in the first place.

Have you ever used alcohol as a coping mechanism to escape a dysfunctional relationship or unhealthy environment?
You might be a victim of gaslighting if you’ve been told that you’re imagining things, too sensitive, dramatic, overreacting, forgetful, paranoid, confused, insecure or misinterpreting things.
And if you’re drinking it’s easy for someone to say “you’re drunk, you don’t know what you’re talking about” or “you were drinking, you don’t remember what happened.” Without clear memories you’re more vulnerable to someone undermining your confidence, confusing and invalidating your experiences and emotions, establishing power and manipulating you.
Gaslighting can make you doubt yourself and your memories. In a relationship you might notice that you’re frequently feeling confusion, doubt, guilt, isolation, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, anger or desperation.
Alcohol can make it harder to cope with gaslighting in a number of ways.
