Traveling Sober

Here are a couple of pics from my recent holiday to New Zealand.
My family are from there, so we didn’t do any major “touristy” activities, but it was still a fun time and I was able to take some gorgeous travel pics! The trip was even better because I was sober too, in the past, I’d travel to NZ and spend most of the time drunk or hangover and not have many fond memories. On this trip, I enjoyed every minute :pray:

Always wanted to see/live in New Zealand I hear it’s a wonderful place. I’ve made it down under but couldn’t add New Zealand to the itinerary.

I love the smallest towns and villages in Europe @SoberWalker I’ve seen enough big cities. Have a great trip to Spain can’t wait to see your pics. Loved your Turkey pics.

Jamaica was always on my bucket list. @SassyRocks Maybe next life :pray:t2: looks beautiful.

Nothing like relaxing in the airport not hunting down a bar at 7 am and trying to pound back as many as possible before boarding. LAX is pretty foggy at the moment. But I’m :100: clear and calm. I really couldn’t believe how calm I can be traveling sober.
Love sobriety.
Never going back.

What a great idea for a thread :slightly_smiling_face: I used to travel quite a bit, but these days not so much, so I’ll just have to live vicariously through everyone else’s pictures! I never drank while flying though because to me it just meant more times I had to make the journey to the plane’s lavatory :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Seems I only go back and forth from California to Colorado. Not complaining, but psyched to travel to Denmark and London in June! Never been to Denmark so any tips appreciated. Do have family with whom we will try to connect. Haven’t been back to London since I lived there in 1981. Perhaps a bit more to see :rofl:

Having a baby had pretty much paused any travels further than a 2 hour flight, so I will join you in living vicariously through the rest of the folks who are traveling. :v:

Just got back from a scuba trip in Turks and Caicos! Love this thread idea.
I was slightly nervous about going to an all-inclusive resort because I would have never turned down free drinks in the past. So I had to remind myself, I never would have been on this incredible trip while I was in active addiction. And it turns out, I loved being sober on this trip! I was able to enjoy every minute.

Sobriety has brought me so many wonderful adventures. I have a few trips planned this year so I will be back :eyes: I’m actually leaving for my next trip tomorrow…:face_with_open_eyes_and_hand_over_mouth:

These pics have made my morning! Like Eric, I really struggled with the traveling sober thoughts early in sobriety. I just couldn’t imagine it being any fun. I was SO wrong. Sassy, we are going hiking in NC. I’m getting there asap!
