They're too busy thinking about themselves. Okay, that's going to be helpful later, when you think that there's nothing to do during the holidays that doesn't involve alcohol, or if you start to question why you wanted to quit drinking in the first place.
The holidays can be a minefield for anyone in recovery, but they don't have to be. In this episode of 'Recovery Happy Hour', host Tricia Lewis sits down with Dr. Jason Powers, chief medical officer of Positive Recovery Centers, to tackle the challenges of staying sober during the festive season. Dr.
Powers brings a fresh perspective on handling social pressures, emphasizing that it's okay to say 'no' and reminding us that most people are too wrapped up in their own lives to notice one person's choice to stay sober. They dive into the concept of positive recovery, a scientific approach focused on building a fulfilling life through positivity and character strengths. This isn't just about avoiding alcohol; it's about embracing a new way of living. Dr.
Powers also discusses the importance of finding the right language to talk about addiction, moving beyond the limiting labels of traditional diagnoses. Whether you're newly sober or have been on this journey for years, this episode offers practical advice and encouragement to help you navigate the holiday season with confidence and grace.
So, if you're looking for tips to survive the holidays without a drink in hand, this conversation is packed with insights that can make your season a little brighter.
