How to Have an Alcohol Free Night Out in New York That Will Be Even Better Sober
New York City is arguably one of the most popular party cities in the world. Think for a moment how many nights you spent bouncing around the city that you don’t remember because you were under the influence of alcohol. How did you feel the following day? Did you feel horribly sick? Perhaps you felt embarrassed because you couldn’t remember what you did and worried that you may have done something that you would regret?
Once you complete your alcohol rehab program, it’s essential you focus on what you can do during a night out in the city that won’t jeopardize your sobriety. The reality is that even though the city is known for its wild nights, there are countless fun, sober-friendly activities that you can participate in. Remember, alcohol is readily available throughout the city, so if you feel as though this could be a real temptation for you, you can always opt to go out with a sober friend or family member that will help you to remain focused on the goals that you have for yourself and your sobriety.

Recovery-Friendly Things to Do on a Night Out in New York
When you’re ready to start planning a night out, here are some great options you may want to consider in New York City:
Escape the Room
Booking a time to enjoy an escape room with your friends or family members is a great way to bond with them. If you’ve never tried an escape room before, the premise is that you will need to work with other people in your group to uncover the answer to a puzzle in a room of your choice. Each room is themed, so when you’re booking your adventure, be sure to consider your options carefully. One of the best parts about Escape the Room is the fact that this venue remains open until 11:30 PM every night so that you can book a night out after work with no problem.
