This is the new normal and we get, and for somebody who likes to control things like I do, this is pretty cool that you get to control it in a way that's positive and that supports your sobriety.
The festive season can be a minefield for anyone in recovery, and this episode of The Unruffled Podcast dives into that very challenge. Hosts Sondra Primeaux and Tammi Salas share their personal stories of navigating holidays both before and after sobriety. They chat about the chaos of trying to create perfect Martha Stewart moments, only to have them overshadowed by booze-fueled disasters.
Now, with sobriety in the picture, their holidays look very different—calmer, more meaningful, and filled with boundaries that help maintain peace. Whether you're facing your first sober holiday or you're a seasoned pro looking for extra support, Sondra and Tammi's candid conversation offers something for everyone. They discuss the importance of setting boundaries, letting go of perfectionism, and creating new traditions that align with a sober lifestyle.
From practical tips like having a plan and maintaining a gratitude list to more emotional advice on connecting with other sober individuals, this episode is packed with useful insights. One of the standout moments is when Sondra and Tammi share their top three tools from their 'Unruffled Toolbox'. For Sondra, it's all about planning fun activities, diving into projects, and practicing gratitude.
Tammi emphasizes the importance of having a plan, keeping a physical sobriety toolbox handy, and engaging in acts of service. These tools aren't just for surviving the holidays—they're for thriving. So if you're dreading the upcoming festivities or just looking for ways to make your sober holiday season more enjoyable, this episode is a must-listen. It's not just about surviving; it's about finding joy and peace during one of the most stressful times of the year.
