Supporting Your Recovering Loved One During the Holidays

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 holidays can be a minefield for those in recovery from addiction and mental illness. While many of us are decking the halls and singing carols, others are navigating the stress and temptations that come with the season. In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', guest Jamie Fink, chief clinical officer at Sierra Tucson, joins host Mary Woods to discuss how families can support their loved ones during this challenging time.
Jamie shares practical advice on creating a supportive environment, emphasizing the importance of continued care management and dual diagnosis treatment. They explore unique therapies like equine therapy and discuss the significance of addressing resentments and making amends. Jamie and Mary also reflect on their personal experiences, offering heartfelt insights into the struggles and triumphs of recovery. Key takeaways include being mindful of alcohol and food, establishing new traditions, and focusing on the present moment.
Tune in to learn how you can make the holidays a time of support and celebration for your recovering loved one.
