Ever thought a vacation was the worst time to quit drinking? Think again! In this episode of Alcohol-Free Lifestyle, Victoria English, head coach at Alcohol-Free Lifestyle, shares why a holiday might just be the perfect moment to start your sober journey. Broadcasting from her serene balcony in Maui, Victoria dives into the common misconception that vacations require alcohol to be enjoyable.
She reflects on her own experiences of drunken holidays, filled with hangovers and missed opportunities, and contrasts them with the vibrant, fulfilling trips she now enjoys without a drop of alcohol.
