The other day I saw this great post on Instagram from Laurie McAllister (Laurie is a life and empowerment coach, yoga teacher, and writer) about the fact that sobriety isn’t just ‘not drinking’. It entails só much more! And that got me thinking…
Besides ´simply´ not drinking, one of the major changes in my life is the process of self-exploration that started at the same time. Bit by bit I am getting to know myself better and I am finding out what I really want in life. What I am comfortable and uncomfortable with and what makes me happy and what doesn´t! Knowing this is awesome, as now I am trying to build my life around this and I stopped doing things I thought were making me happy but really didn´t (more on this in another blog…). But the fact is that I’m slowly becoming the authentic me and getting in alignment with myself. I am realising that this leads to a much calmer and happier life. Every little, mundane thing has the potential to excite me, it´s crazy…
All of this really started taking off in the last two years (I’m 10 days away from 2 years without drinking alcohol – except in airports/planes✈️). On the 4th of May 2019, I literally díved into the world of sobriety. Reading books, listening to podcasts and exchanging thoughts and feelings about sobriety with (new) sober friends (online & IRL) has been a big focus in my life. And this led me to an idea… Sober Fun in the Sun!
Picture this:
You, sitting at the edge of a gorgeous sea-green pool, in the sunshine, sipping your favourite alcohol-free summer drink. Surrounded by dancing palm trees and the sound of birds. You’re chatting with someone you don’t really know (yet) but it feels like you do as you have so much to talk about.

Chilling in the pool with a delicious alcohol-free cocktail

THIS is what I’m thinking about facilitating when Covid-19 is fully over:
Big house with lush garden and swimming pool in Marbella area
Approximately 7-10 bedrooms
Healthy Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Sunrise Yoga/Meditation every morning
Bootcamp sesh in the afternoon
Massage on request
Fully stocked My Bubbly Pop Bar with lots of alcohol-free drinks (including kombuchas, smoothies & delicious teas and coffees)
Library with lots of quit lit to read while here
Lounging at the pool / Reading / Journalling – While either connecting with other women or just chilling by yourself
Ladies only & no alcohol allowed during the 5-7 days stay
A sober, fun and rejuvenating time away from home with the option to connect with like-minded women. Would this be something you could be interested in? Would love to hear your thoughts…☺️
