A sober Halloween doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the fun. In fact, celebrating the holiday without drugs or alcohol can actually enhance your enjoyment, especially with the help of these tips for an entertaining night that will leave you feeling your best. If you’re in need of some ideas as the spooky season approaches, here are some exciting sober activities for you to consider this Halloween.

Sober Activities For Halloween

Don’t get spooked out—there are plenty of fun sober activities for you to take part in this holiday, whether you’re alone or with friends and close companions. If a social night is on your mind, check out these fun sober group activities:

• Organize a Sober Halloween Party – Who says you can’t get dressed up and party without drugs or alcohol? Consider organizing a sober Halloween party with family, friends, support group members, and other close companions who will respect your situation and make your night a blast. If you do end up attending a party with drugs or alcohol present, don’t feel embarrassed or wrong for coming late, leaving early, and enjoying the moment exactly how you please.

• Support Groups – Many fellowships such as AA, NA, CA, and HA often have fun sober group activities planned on Halloween, whether it’s a small get-together, a costume contest, or other similar festivities. This can be especially great as you are spending time with others who share and respect your views, with no temptations to worry about.

• Have a Spooky TV/Movie Marathon – What’s more cozy than grabbing a few friends, brewing up some hot cocoa, and watching a bunch of scary movies or TV shows? This is a great option for those who are unsure whether or not they’ll resist temptation at a function, as they’ll be in control of who attends, and how the night goes.

• Haunted Houses, Corn Mazes, Pumpkins – Oh My! – Autumn is known for its traditional festivities such as corn mazes and pumpkin picking, so why not take advantage of these activities on the holiday itself? Check out an extra scary haunted house, or keep it low key and pick some pumpkins to carve later with friends and family. Just don’t get lost in the maze!

• Go on a Sober Vacation – Want to get away for Halloween? Sober vacations in the fall can be a perfect way to unwind and keep your priorities where they should be. You can even organize a tradition with friends that you’ll plan to do for years to come.
