When your life is controlled by drugs or alcohol, you end up losing sight of what\u2019s important. When you\u2019re getting high, you think you&#8217;re having fun but in reality, you aren\u2019t. There\u2019s nothing actually fun about being incoherent and hurting the ones you love. Ruining your physical and mental health is also not fun.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you\u2019ve gained sobriety and have your life back, you&#8217;re probably starting to learn what makes you happy. Your judgment is no longer hindered by drugs and alcohol, and your emotions are no longer numb. You\u2019ll have the time and energy to learn new things and meet new people.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A big component of being happy is having fun. When you have fun, serotonin is released in the brain and your stress is lowered naturally. Being happy and having fun can actually help you maintain your recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traveling is a great way to have fun, and is more accessible cost-wise than ever before. Florida is a popular vacation destination for both Americans and visitors from outside the United States, and there&#8217;s many activities that don&#8217;t require substances to enjoy.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_86 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/thebrandsmen.com\/principlesrecoverycenter\/fun-in-florida-while-sober\/#fun-things-to-do-in-florida\" >Fun Things to do in Florida<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/thebrandsmen.com\/principlesrecoverycenter\/fun-in-florida-while-sober\/#theme-parks\" >Theme Parks<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/thebrandsmen.com\/principlesrecoverycenter\/fun-in-florida-while-sober\/#beaches\" >Beaches<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/thebrandsmen.com\/principlesrecoverycenter\/fun-in-florida-while-sober\/#golf\" >Golf<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/thebrandsmen.com\/principlesrecoverycenter\/fun-in-florida-while-sober\/#sports-events\" >Sports Events<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/thebrandsmen.com\/principlesrecoverycenter\/fun-in-florida-while-sober\/#principles-recovery-center-is-here-to-help\" >Principles Recovery Center is Here to Help!<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"fun-things-to-do-in-florida\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fun Things to do in Florida<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10813\" src=\"https:\/\/thebrandsmen.com\/principlesrecoverycenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/HOW-TO-SURVIVE-YOUR-FIRST-30-DAYS-SOBER-1.jpg\" alt=\"How to Survive Your First 30 Days Sober\" width=\"1920\" height=\"948\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thebrandsmen.com\/principlesrecoverycenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/HOW-TO-SURVIVE-YOUR-FIRST-30-DAYS-SOBER-1.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/thebrandsmen.com\/principlesrecoverycenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/HOW-TO-SURVIVE-YOUR-FIRST-30-DAYS-SOBER-1-300x148.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thebrandsmen.com\/principlesrecoverycenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/HOW-TO-SURVIVE-YOUR-FIRST-30-DAYS-SOBER-1-1024x506.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thebrandsmen.com\/principlesrecoverycenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/HOW-TO-SURVIVE-YOUR-FIRST-30-DAYS-SOBER-1-768x379.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thebrandsmen.com\/principlesrecoverycenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/HOW-TO-SURVIVE-YOUR-FIRST-30-DAYS-SOBER-1-1536x758.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Florida is a beautiful place with warm weather all year round.
