Ready to head to Europe this morning! England, you’ve been a lovely host… a bit wet… a lot muddy… but really pleasant as always! #vanlife @new-nomads.com #sobertravel #sobriety

Picking a sponsor is one of the biggest hurdles a newcomer faces as they start their path to recovery. Find someone who lives #sobriety on a daily basis. It’s all about connection to a way of living that you want in your own life. Link: medium.com/sober-though...

Oh England, you do so enchant me with your rain and mud. I really get into the “medieval peasant” cosplay thing everyone’s doing…

Woke up in England. Just a typical Tuesday in my life these days. Today I’m walking a path to a giant white horse on a hillside. #sobriety gave me choices I didn’t even then were possible #sobertravel #soberliving

Leaving Rotterdam… heading for Harwich… pip pip and cheer ee oh!! I’ve got a date with an order of fish and chips… and a Sunday roast! Look at me being all British! #sobertravel #soberliving #vanlife #sobriety @new-nomads.com

The Serenity Press @theserenitypress.com · 27/10/2025

Back to Old Blighty. Our ferry to Harwich is leaving at 2PM. I’ll miss Europe, but England is nice too! We’re headed to the Cotswolds to meet up with friends… and down to Kent to see others. All of this made possible by one base truth: I’m #sober today #sobertravel #vanlife #sobriety @new-nomads.com

The Serenity Press @theserenitypress.com · 23/10/2025

Turns out, Sweden is just as dark and rainy as Norway is this time of year. I don’t understand how Nordic ppl can fight off seasonal depression every year. I need the sun, so it’s south we must go! #sobertravel #sobriety @new-nomads.com

The Serenity Press @theserenitypress.com · 21/10/2025

Today we’re headed towards the Swedish border and headed south. Norway just never disappoints. It is literally the most beautiful country on earth - and I’ve seen a LOT of countries! It’s like you took Yosemite, added an ocean and stretched it for 1500 miles! #sobertravel #sobriety #vanlife

Leaving #Norway today. It’s a bittersweet feeling because this place is just magical! We’ll be back in the spring! Now, off to Germany and schnitzel… and wurst…. and… and… Gluttony is not a character defect I want to work on yet! #sobriety #sobertravel #vanlife

The Serenity Press @theserenitypress.com · 15/10/2025

I can’t say it enough: Norway is the most beautiful place on Earth. It’s “epic” by any measure. I get to be here… and be here for it… not because I’m rich or lucky. It’s because I’m #sober. That’s the foundation it’s all built on. I’m never bored in #sobriety! #sobertravel

The Serenity Press @theserenitypress.com · 15/10/2025

Brunost - brown cheese on a cold waffle - is one of the most “Norwegian” things you can eat. It doesn’t look appetizing, but it’s AMAZING! “Contempt prior to investigation” Dammit, the program “wisdom” seeps into everyday life! It works if you work it. #sobriety #sobertravel

Heading south of the Arctic Circle today for the first time in a couple of months. I’ll miss northern Norway so much! I love the vibe here! All of this is because I’m #sober. #sobriety gave me a life I don’t want to escape from! #sobertravel

The Serenity Press @theserenitypress.com · 14/10/2025

That was 1994… today, I’m taking the ferry from Jetvik, Norway south of the Arctic Circle for the first time in a couple of months! These days, I drive because I want to… not running away from myself! 31 years… one day at a time. Today, that day is here! #sobertravel

Not being the hard sell type, we also have a FB page and would love to see you over there. It is a different vibe, but we try to provide solid #sobriety and recovery-oriented content www.facebook.com/TheSerenityP...

Pulled this big cod out of Norwegian waters this morning. Freezing cold, completely #sober, fully present When people say #sobriety is boring, I wonder what they’re comparing it to! For me, being sober is the foundation for actually doing interesting things, not just talking about them! #sobertravel

Every single time I read the word "ANTIFA", the ONLY thing I think about is my grandpa landing on the shores of France... you know the actual ANTIFA, from a time when we wore that moniker proudly as a nation.

I’ve always looked at the 3rd step prayer as more “guidance for living” than some sort of spiritual connection. Either way, it works… but only if you work it. LINK: medium.com/sober-though... #sobriety #sober #addictionrecovery #12steps #atheist #higherpower #agnostic #alcoholicsanonymous

It’s another Tuesday in this side of the world. I’m not sure if this is really happening, but I actually made sense of a Norwegian sign! #sobriety has unlocked some strange mental powers! Please don’t ask me to read it out loud though! #sobertravel #sober #norway

Your first day #sober and you know why you need it. The more you think you’ve got it all figured out… is much more challenging to your #sobriety There’s a pattern… others have been there before… catch the signs before you go right back out #recovery #12step #aa #na LINK: medium.com/sober-though...

Came across this beautiful old tugboat in the harbor at Narvik, Norway. I can only imagine the storms she’s seen, the harshest climate on earth… and yet, she’s looking as strong as ever. We’ve all been though storms of our own. It’s been hard work, but we’re still here! #sobriety #sobertravel #sober

Recovery unfolds in waves, not straight lines. Some days we take giant steps forward. Other days we barely hold our ground. Both matter. Every moment we choose #sobriety, we're making progress. The healing happens in the choosing, again and again. #sober #odaat #progressnotperfection #recovery

The Serenity Press @theserenitypress.com · 12/09/2025

I spent years fighting battles I’d already lost. Every minute replaying old mistakes was a minute stolen from building something better. #sobriety taught me the hardest lesson: we can’t rewrite yesterday, but we write today with every choice we make. #Recovery #Sober LINK: medium.com/sober-though...

Crossed from Sweden to Norway yesterday. For a poor kid from a small nowhere town Alabama, this is a life I never believed could be real… yet here I am… living it. #sober living is the only way this could happen. #sobriety is the key to making dreams come true. #sobertravel #vanlife #odaat

The Serenity Press @theserenitypress.com · 10/09/2025

Ppl ask why we call out #sobriety birthdays. It’s a congrats on a job well done, but mainly it’s a public way to demonstrate that a #sober life is possible. Our stories are different, but the solution works all the same. #recovery #addiction #12step LINK: medium.com/sober-though...

I haven’t had a drink or drug in my body in 11,323 days. Today I am 31 years #sober and that, ladies and gentleman, was not guaranteed when I started the journey. Long term #sobriety is possible. If I did it, you can too! Life is Pretty Good. #sobersky #alcoholicsanonymous #tecoveryposse #12step

This incredible evening brought to you by #sobriety There’s no way I could’ve dreamed of this life when I started my #sober journey. Yet, here I am. Miracles happen… if you put in the work. #sobertravel #soberlife #vanlife #arctic #sweden

My drinking buddies disappeared when I got sober. My recovery community shows up when life gets hard. The rooms give you people. The people give you hope. Hope gives you tomorrow. Don’t drink today. #sobriety #recovery #friendship #support #hope #odaat Link: medium.com/sober-though...

Spent a lovely evening in the old church orchard in a small town in Germany. When you’re not drunk and loud, people let you do amazing things! They trust you to be good humans! That’s the other side of #sobertravel - we become good guests! #sober #sobriety #sobersky #vanlife

Coming to the 4th Step was terrifying to me. I’d spent years burying the pain and resentment I felt in life, now they wanted me to write them down? WTF. For me, I had to be willing to accept that the 12 steps would work before I opened that door. #sobriety #sober LINK: medium.com/sober-though...

Booze was never my problem, it was my solution. Alcohol helped me avoid feeling what I was feeling. Take away the terror of being me. One day it stopped working. When your solution stops, and living life without it feels impossible, you’re in a bad place. I had to find a new way forward. Sobriety.

Wrapping up fantastic #british food, went out with friends to a little pub and had Cumberland sausage, potatoes and a boat of gravy! #sobertravel doesn’t mean I avoid pubs: I go for the food and the friends. Turns out my choice of ordering a Coke to drink turned no one’s head. #sobriety is fun!

Living life on life’s terms. It doesn’t mean passive acceptance of life’s challenges, it means we recognize what we can - and cannot - change. It’s the wisdom to know the difference that gives us peace in #sobriety #sober #sobersky #recovery #12steps #aa #na Link: medium.com/sober-though...

Leaving the UK in a couple of days, headed to Amsterdam. Had to get one last fish and chips before I go! When people say #sobriety is boring, I say… that’s because your idea of life is so very small. Being #sober opens a world of freedom unimaginable when I was drinking.

The Serenity Press @theserenitypress.com · 28/08/2025

I’d been #sober 2 years when i finally figured out that I had to put in the work or nothing was going to change. For whatever reason, it clicked. If nothing changes, then nothing changes. No miracle was coming, I had to do my part to participate in my own #recovery medium.com/sober-though...

There’s time in every day to stop and pay attention to the wonderful beauty of life. Sometimes it’s as obvious as an epic #sunset other times it could be as simple as a bit of tranquility amidst the chaos. #sobriety #gratitude #soberlife #sober

Accountability can seem like impossible in early #sobriety but if we start to find it in the smallest of our actions - be on time to an appointment, follow through with commitments - it will grow into an important part of our daily lives. #sober #recovery #accountability medium.com/sober-though...

Recovery accountability starts with today’s choices, not fixing everything at once. Begin with small, concrete commitments you can actually keep — showing up to meetings, calling your sponsor, telling the truth about how you’re feeling. These daily practices build the muscle of accountability gradually

The beauty of this world can sometimes be literally breathtaking! Driving through the glens of Scotland is one of those gifts of #sobriety no one mentioned early on. I’m free to roam the earth today because I’m #sober. This life wasn’t luck, I had to put in the work first! #odaat #recovery #travel

Driving though the beautiful landscape of Scotland is a gift of sobriety. It wasn’t in the cards for me if I continued my alcoholism.
