Yes, You Can Have a Sober Cinco de Mayo

Now that you have spent time in a hallway house in Florida, you can rest assured knowing that you will be able to handle any of the difficulties Cinco de Mayo may throw your way.

However, considering that Time named Cinco de Mayo one of the “drunkest” holidays, it comes as to no surprise why those in addiction recovery might have their concerns when it comes to make sure they don’t completely undo all of the hard work they did at their halfway house in Florida. Luckily, these tips from Awakenings for Women will ensure that this is the first sober Cinco de Mayo of many more to come.

Enjoy the food. Hey, who doesn’t love Mexican food? Just because you are newly sober does not mean that you can’t have fun at Cinco de Mayo fiesta; after all, you can still indulge in all of the delicious food! For those who are focusing on maintaining their healthy lifestyle, then fear not because Mexican fare has plenty of healthy options out there for you as well.

Choose non-alcoholic drinks. Sure, the temptation to enjoy a margarita will be an all-time high, but that doesn’t mean that you have to give up everything you learned at your halfway house in Florida – simply have a sober Cinco de Mayo instead! Have a party with your other sober friends and serve virgin margaritas.
