Looking for ways to have some sober summer fun? Finding new things to do that don’t include visiting your old haunts or unsober friends is a great way to keep your recovery strong. Here are some suggestions of exciting things now that summer is in full swing. 
- Hit up a Braves Game at Turner Field .
- See the Fantastic Fourth fireworks celebration at Stone Mountain Park.
- Visit the Bruce Munro exhibit Light in the Garden at the Atlanta Botanical Garden and see a unique installations created from hundreds of miles of optic fiber.
- Every Friday this summer watch a movie outside with Movies in the Park at The Avenue Peachtree City.
- Or Friday visit the Atlanta Motors Speedway for the O’Reilly Auto Parts Friday Night Drags & Show-n-Shine.

Some other tips for a healthy recovery this summer:
- If you are new to recovery and travel stresses you out, consider a “stay-cation” instead of planning that family road trip.
- Keep hydrated. The hot weather can quickly deplete the body. Stay fueled with healthy snacks and hydrated in the sun.
- Don’t pick an activity that might have too many triggers if you don’t have your coping mechanisms up to speed yet. Atlanta has plenty of things to do. And changing up old habits is what recovery is all about. Find new things that excite you.
- Take the slower pace of the summer to really set some time aside for yourself to relax and recharge, even if it is as simple as a walk on the beach.
Happy Sober Summer Fun!
