How to Celebrate a Sober Valentine’s Day
When you are newly sober, everything can seem overwhelming and challenging to say the least. Especially when it involves the holidays, most former addicts group those days together with over-indulging: whether it be with alcohol, drugs, or something else.
In order to have a great February 14th outside of your halfway house in Florida, make sure to check out these tips on how to celebrate a sober Valentine’s Day from Awakenings for Women.
Make it a spa day. What better way to reward yourself for your newfound sobriety other than by treating yourself to a relaxing day at the spa? Whether you spend it with a loved one or with new friends that you met at your women’s sober living home, Valentine’s Day is a great day to spend at the spa.
Plan a picnic in the park. Get outside and enjoy nature by planning a picnic in the park. This will not only get your mind off of past experiences spent drinking your Valentine’s Day away, but it will also steer you away from any routines that may lead you to drink alcohol.
Go to the movies. Take a break from focusing on recovery at your Florida sober living home and spend Valentine’s Day at the movies with friends. Not only will you have a fun and relaxing time, but you will also not have to fight off any potential cravings for alcohol.
