Having a hard time this week. I finally finished my doctorate but am having a hard time thinking of sober ways to celebrate. Any suggestions?

Congratulations!! 
my favorite way to celebrate is to go to a nice dinner. I give myself permission to enjoy everything and get dessert! I make sure ahead of time that the restaurant I’m going to has good mocktails so that I don’t have to just drink soda water.

I with Jenn, I'm always up for dinner and dessert with friends. Congratulations I never even went to college. Best of luck in all you do
Congratulations that’s awesome!! Sounds like it’s treat-yo-self o’clock! If you’re into it, get a manicure or a new haircut, get a massage, have a spa day! Celebrating with pampering is always a treat!
I needed a self care day so I did a pedicure a nice dinner then a 60 min massage and hopped on a zoom meeting in my pjs after a bath. It was marvelous. Highly recommend. Congratulations!!
When I celebrate something, I usually either make a prime rib on the smoker for my fam, or if I want to get away, my son and I will take a trip and spend a night at a water park hotel or something like that.

Get your nails done or buy a new outfit
Congratulations! Do something spontaneous that you’ve wanted off your bucket list. A hot air balloon ride, indoor skydiving, a great meal. Enjoy the fruits of your labor
My favorite way to celebrate anything is to take a trip somewhere! Book a nice AirBnB, find a hiking trail, and log some miles, or find a beautiful lake or river to paddle on
Congrats!! How about a weekend getaway in the mountains? Hot springs, hiking, good food😊 you deserve whatever you decide as long as you decide something!
Massage for sure!! You deserve it!

Congratulations! That's quite an achievement! I like the idea of celebrating with dinner at a nice restaurant or taking a trip somewhere. If it were me, I would probably also go out and see a play or something.
It’s time for a pizza, ice cream, and dance party ( maybe a karaoke machine) and all your favorite board/ video games. Might have to make it a slumber/ pajama party.
Can you just feel the joy and pride of the achievement? Sit with it?
Axe throwing or destruction room. Let out the inner beast!!!!
