Sober Travel Handbook

Winner of the Society of American Travel Writers Western Chapter's Non-Traditional Writing Award For nondrinkers, travel presents special challenges. Whether you're traveling for work, pleasure, or a family event, it can feel like alcohol is everywhere you turn; and for those in recovery, the ups and downs of travel can trigger a relapse. But fear not: drawing on extensive personal experience, as well as interviews with a variety of nondrinking travelers and addiction experts, travel writer Teresa Bergen has created this helpful guide to staying sober on the road. From bachelorette parties to funerals to professional networking events, learn survival strategies for booze-laden travel scenarios of all kinds. With the help of her alter ego, Sober Cat, who tells the story in pictures, Bergen will help you prep for your trip, dodge drinks, and get the most out of your travel experience—no matter your reason for abstaining.
