Can you actually enjoy vacation without alcohol… or does wine still feel like part of the experience?

In this episode of Love Life Sober, Christy sits down with Susan Larkin, alcohol freedom coach, podcast host, and one of our Love Life Sober coaches and Fast Captains, for a practical, honest, and hope-filled conversation about alcohol-free vacations.

Susan shares how vacations once became a trigger for drinking, from beach trips to wine country and how learning to plan ahead, stay connected to her why, and practice vacationing differently changed everything.

If you’ve ever thought…
“I can’t start now because I have a holiday coming up.”
“Vacation won’t feel fun without wine.”
