How To Spend Valentine’s Day When You’re Single And Sober

Feb 6 2023
Categories:Love and Relationships

The thought of Valentine’s Day can be a bit daunting when you're single and sober. It seems like everywhere you turn, there are reminders that everyone else is in a loving relationship. But just because you don’t have a romantic partner doesn't mean that this holiday has to be a bummer.

Instead of feeling dejected, why not embrace the freedom that comes with independence? In fact, it's the perfect time to celebrate yourself! Whether you’re celebrating on your own or gathering with friends, there are plenty of creative ways to make Valentine’s Day special when you don't drink booze.

Contact Us Today for a Confidential Assessment.
Call (877) 959-5909 Now to Speak with a Specialist

Here are five ideas to make this V-Day one that you'll remember for years to come.

1. Treat Yourself

Whether it's giving yourself permission to splurge on something special or taking the time to pamper yourself with some self-care, doing something nice for yourself is always a good idea.

If you're feeling extra fancy, why not go all out at your favorite spa and get a massage, facial, and mani/pedi? Valentine's day is the best time to practice self-love and give yourself the attention you deserve.

2. Reach Out to Others

Sober Life

Celebrating Valentine's Day solo doesn't mean that you have to spend the day alone. Reach out to your friends and family or even join an online group of other people who are single and sober on V-Day.

Gather up your closest gal pals and celebrate friendship! Bond over board games, hold a movie marathon or have an epic dance party with all of your favorite tunes. Spending quality time with people who understand where you're coming from will make you feel less alone in your journey toward sobriety.

3. Give Back

There's no better way to show some love than by giving back to those in need. Giving back will give you such a sense of fulfillment and joy that will last long after Valentine's Day is over. It will also help you to appreciate all that you have in your life.

Volunteer at a local homeless shelter or animal rescue, donate food and clothes to those less fortunate, or just take the time to spread some cheer by giving compliments to strangers. You'll be surprised at how much better you feel about yourself when you help others!

4. Take a Solo Trip

Sober Life

One of the best things about being single (especially on Valentine's Day) is that there aren't any expectations! Use this freedom as an opportunity for adventure by taking a solo trip somewhere new, whether it’s across town or the world!

A solo trip does not need to be expensive. Even if it's just at a nearby city, it can open you up to new experiences. Exploring new places can also give you perspective on your life back home and can also be incredibly healing for those struggling with sobriety issues.

5. Plan a Staycation

If you can't get away, plan an amazing staycation instead! Spend the day doing things that make you happy - take a yoga class, go on a hike, explore your city by bike. Or curl up with your favorite book and spend the whole day in your PJs. Whatever it is, do what makes you feel good and happy.

No matter how you choose to spend Valentine’s Day when you’re single and sober, remember that this day isn't only about celebrating romantic partnerships; it’s also about celebrating self-love, friendship, compassion, and kindness toward others by doing something meaningful for yourself or someone else in need.
