National Edge Day Activities

Document your experience

National Edge Day honours moderation and introspection. Review your experience at the end of the day if you’re attempting it for the first time so you can recall how it made you feel. If you have been sober for a long time, use this day to reflect on your journey and how being sober has altered you.

Create a few mocktails

If you typically enjoy an alcoholic beverage to relax, you can still be inventive when preparing a fun cocktail for yourself. Try preparing a virgin lemon drop by shaking lemon juice, simple syrup, and water and then pouring the mixture into a martini glass with a sugar rim. On National Edge Day, host a mocktail party and invite your friends.
