Christmas had a particular allure because it was kind of the one time of The Year where you felt normal because everyone else was doing exactly what you were doing.
Christmas can be a double-edged sword for those grappling with addiction and recovery. In this episode of 'Sideways', Graham Landi and Martin Pankhurst tackle the festive season head-on, sharing their insights and experiences. They explore why Christmas might seem appealing to addicts but also highlight the minefield it presents for those striving to stay sober. From the anxiety of gift-giving to the pitfalls of buying alcohol for others, they leave no stone unturned.
The hosts dive into the importance of self-care and recognizing triggers that could lead to relapse, offering practical advice on how to manage these challenges. They suggest attending support groups as a way to stay connected and accountable during this often stressful time. But it's not all about the struggles. Graham and Martin also discuss creating new, sober traditions and finding joy in personal growth and progress. Their candid conversation provides a relatable perspective that’s both comforting and motivating.
Whether you're in recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable tips for navigating the holiday season with grace and resilience.
