In this episode of Real Recovery Talk, host Tom Conrad shares practical tips and heartfelt advice to help you through the holidays without compromising your sobriety.

From building a sober support system to practicing self-care and avoiding high-risk situations, his tips are both practical and compassionate. Remember, your sobriety is invaluable, and it's okay to advocate for yourself and prioritize your recovery.
Whether you're new to sobriety or have been on this path for a while, Tom's insights offer a beacon of hope and practical steps to ensure your holiday season is not only enjoyable but also a celebration of your recovery journey.
