Hang in there, and I've shared my story. If it ain't happening for you This Christmas, the only thing of encouragement- because I have a sponsor, it's not happening from him yet, man, and I'm like you know what dude, the only thing you can do.
The holiday season can be a minefield for anyone in recovery. Picture this: the invites roll in, each one promising a night of revelry and spiked eggnog, while Hallmark movies paint a picture of perfect family gatherings. But for many, Christmas isn't all jingle bells and mistletoe. It's a time fraught with stress, emotions, and potential triggers. In this episode of the Sober.Coffee Podcast, hosts Mike and Glenn tackle these challenges head-on.
They open up about their own experiences with holiday stress and offer practical advice for staying sober through the festive season. From dealing with memories that resurface to navigating Christmas parties without a drink in hand, they cover it all. One standout discussion revolves around Steps #8 and #9 of the 12-step program, focusing on making amends and setting realistic expectations. Mike and Glenn also dive into the importance of self-forgiveness, a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of recovery.
They share strategies for setting boundaries and being assertive when declining party invitations where alcohol will be present. The episode wraps up on an encouraging note, reminding listeners to stay focused on their progress and to reach out for support when needed. If you or someone you know is facing the holiday season with trepidation, this episode offers a comforting blend of empathy and actionable tips. It's like having a chat with friends who truly get what you're going through.
