Sober Girls Throw Down Diet Coke, Not Mai Tais, in Hawaii

Terri Peters celebrated nearly two years of sobriety by skipping Mai Tais on her first-ever Hawaii trip with equally mocktail-loving girlfriends. Instead of buzzed sunrises, they gulped macadamia nut coffee, enjoyed Disney's Aulani Resort, and bonded over rare characters like ShellieMay and Spam musubi. She turned her old glass jar full of spare change—previously a vague 'one day' fund—into a non-alcoholic adventure funded by sobriety savings. No hangovers coping with job losses or family deaths here, just open-bar luaus attended with a trusty Diet Coke. Teens who're 'too old' for Disney? Not even jealous. Sobriety: the ultimate vacation upgrade, but still counting loose change for round two.
