Supporting Loved Ones in Recovery During the Holidays with Jamie Fink

Let's find a new and healthier way to celebrate each other, to tell each other how much we love each other, and it doesn't always have to be done over mounds of sugar and gravy, sugar and gravy.
The holiday season is a time of joy and celebration for many, but it can be a minefield of challenges for those in recovery and their families. In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', Mary Woods welcomes Jamie Fink, Chief Clinical Officer at Sierra Tucson, to share her wisdom on how to navigate this tricky period.
Jamie delves into the importance of continued care management and offers practical tips on how families can educate themselves about addiction and alcoholism. She also highlights the significance of addressing co-occurring disorders and the unique benefits of equine therapy in the recovery process. Jamie doesn't shy away from discussing the resentments that can bubble up during family gatherings and stresses the importance of mindfulness around alcohol and food.
To top it off, she suggests creating new, healthier traditions that don't revolve around excessive indulgence. If you're looking for ways to support a loved one in recovery during the holidays, this episode is packed with valuable advice and heartfelt insights.
