It's been a tough time to get sober, stay sober, and it continues to be a challenging time and I know for me it's been, as it's always been, for More Than Years. Like you said, we can just, we can really take our sobriety for granted.
Picture this: it’s the holiday season, but instead of the usual hustle and bustle, you’re navigating a pandemic. In this episode of 'Recovery Rocks', co-hosts Lisa Smith and Tawny Lara dive into the unique challenges of staying sober during these unusual times. They share their personal stories about how socially distanced holiday plans are affecting them and their families.
They also offer practical advice on how to handle those tough conversations with family members when you decide not to go home for the holidays. Drawing from a Vice article by Rachel Miller, Lisa and Tawny provide listeners with useful tips and talking points for discussing your holiday plans with loved ones. They emphasize the importance of not glamorizing past holidays and maintaining boundaries to protect your sobriety.
Their discussion is a blend of heartfelt personal experiences and actionable advice, making it relatable and helpful for anyone facing similar challenges. But it’s not all serious talk. The episode wraps up with a fun segment called 'The Music Minute', where Lisa and Tawny chat about their favorite holiday tunes. It’s a light-hearted end to an episode filled with valuable insights and support for anyone trying to stay sober during the holidays, especially in the midst of a pandemic.
Whether you’re new to sobriety or have been on this journey for a while, this episode offers a comforting mix of empathy, practical advice, and a dash of holiday cheer. Tune in to feel understood, supported, and maybe even get some new ideas for your holiday playlist.
