The holidays are very hard and emotional, and I think that most of us have had somebody that we love, a friend, a member of the family, whatever that has.
The holiday season is often painted as a time of joy and togetherness, but for those in recovery from alcoholism, it can be anything but. In this episode of the Untoxicated Podcast, hosts Matt and Sheri Salis share their raw and honest experiences of navigating the holidays while dealing with the pressures of sobriety.
From the chaotic years of Matt's active alcoholism to the more recent, sober celebrations, they lay bare the unique challenges that come with trying to maintain peace and joy during this festive yet stressful time. The couple reflects on the unrealistic expectations set by picture-perfect holiday movies and how these can amplify feelings of inadequacy and stress. They discuss how alcohol used to exacerbate these pressures, turning what should be a joyful season into a nightmare.
Now, even though alcohol is no longer part of their lives, the holidays still come with their own set of hurdles. But there's hope. Matt and Sheri share practical tips for staying sober and maintaining mental well-being during the holidays. Their candid conversation offers support and encouragement to anyone who might be struggling through this challenging time. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting a loved one who is, this episode provides valuable insights and a sense of community.
Tune in for an engaging discussion that promises to make your holiday season a bit more manageable and a lot more hopeful.
