I do know that the best gift I ever gave anybody for Christmas or any other holiday was my own recovery, because without that I wasn't present, and there's no better present really than actually being present.
The holiday season can be a minefield for anyone in recovery. Tara Boyce knows this all too well and shares her raw thoughts in the 'Happy Holidays!' episode of Addicted to Recovery: The Interactive Memoir. From office parties drenched in booze to the unrealistic expectations set by Christmas movies and Instagram posts, the festive season can feel like a constant test of your sobriety.
But Tara offers a refreshing perspective: instead of trying to match the picture-perfect holiday cheer, why not embrace how you actually feel? She discusses the importance of staying true to yourself, even when it feels like everyone around you is sipping on 'Christmas cheer'. Tara dives into the emotional rollercoaster that the holidays can bring and emphasizes the significance of creating genuine moments with loved ones. Whether you're feeling joy, sadness, or something in between, it's all valid.
This episode is a comforting reminder that the best gift you can give is your own recovery, allowing you to be truly present with those who matter most. Tune in for an honest conversation that’s both relatable and reassuring.
