Why Sober People Make Great Holiday Party Guests

Posted in Sober Living on Nov 08, 2015

Holiday season is just around the corner, and with it a whole slew of holiday parties. For your old self, this probably meant downing glass after glass of spiked egg nog and causing a scene before dessert was even served.

But that was then, and this is now. Now that you have gotten help for your substance abuse addiction and stayed at a Florida sober living home, you have perfected the art of appreciating a good mocktail and using your indoor voice at holiday parties. If your friends and relatives are still having flashbacks to your pre-women’s sober living home days, then here are a couple reasons as to why sober people make great holiday party guests.

Extra help. If there comes a point in the evening where you can tell that the party guests have had one drink too many, then sober people can always be counted upon to lend a helping hand. After all, who doesn’t want help cleaning up a spilled drink or calling Ubers for party guests?

Easy drink order. In fact, a sober holiday party guest will have no drink order! Not only will sober people not drink all the booze at the party, but think of all the money saved with each person at the party who does not drink. After all, you did not put in all that hard work at the Florida sober living home for nothing!

Great hostess gifts. Most people will probably be giving a bottle of wine as a hostess gift. Because most sober people want to avoid the liquor store, the hostess can expect a much more creative and unique gift.
