12 Step Tourists Have a New Travel Agency

 

Not drinking sake in Osaka, beer in Berlin, stout in London, wine in Paris, ouzo in Athens, tequila in Acapulco, vodka in Moscow, or lager in Sydney may seem unimaginable or unimportant to the average tourist, but to the recovering addict or alcoholic, it’s a life or death proposition.

 

SOBER HOLIDAYS UNLIMITED™ is a new, very specialized tour company in Marin County, California. It caters to sober organizations and individuals in America and abroad. www.soberholidays.com arranges innovative trips to all corners of the world for groups that feel that traveling with other people in ‘the recovering community’ and their families is an exciting way to have fun and see the world, while surrounded by a supportive and understanding travel party.

 

Recovering community’ refers to anyone whose life has been affected by any addictive or compulsive behavior. This includes alcoholics, individuals addicted to any illegal or prescription drug, and the families and friends affected by a loved one’s disease or addiction.

 

There are 1,162,000 members of Alcoholics Anonymous in the U.S.

98,000 in Canada, & 830,000 overseas. (Source: AAGeneral Services, New York,) Al-anon, Cocaine Anonymous and Overeaters Anonymous all have significant memberships.

 

 

 

“SOBER HOLIDAYS’ tours are for people who don't drink and wish to travel in the company of other non-drinking individuals.

 

Future tours include a “Full Moon in Mexico” holiday, bicycling in Ireland, river rafting in Colorado, snorkeling in Tahiti, theatre in New York and adventures with a legendary Celtic guide in King Arthur’s England.

 

For many years members of Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous and their families have avoided foreign travel for fear of being away from their meetings and support system.

 

 

When traveling with ex-alcoholics and recovering drug addicts, the chance of a relapse or ‘slip’ is greatly reduced. SOBER HOLIDAYS UNLIMITED™ provides free schedules of various 12 Step meetings in all destinations and facilitates nightly ‘share-sessions’ in the hotel’s lounge or courtyard.
