Now that you’re living substance-free, summer nights have a whole new charm. Below is a list of fun summer activities to keep you entertained during your sober summer.
- Go Hiking – Find a local trail and take a much needed nature walk.
- See a Movie at the Drive-In – If you look hard enough, you can still find a drive-in movie theatre in your town. See what’s playing — sometimes they offer double features for the price of one ticket!
- Take Your Friends Out Stargazing – Get a star chart or download a star app and go out to a dark area and find your favorite constellations.
- Take a Drive Through Your Town – There are many sights to see in your own town, take a drive and visit them!
- Run Through the Sprinklers – Bring out your inner child and run through the sprinklers.
