Mastering a Sober Holiday Season with Sober Sisters Talk

Going into a situation in that way also right, and I love the leave. You know, I've got this phone call here, waiting when I leave. It's like if you need to go in the bathroom, sit down, take some breaths, you know, when you go into a situation, all right, Hp or whatever you call your higher power universe, god, whatever you know.
The holiday season is a time of joy and celebration, but for those in recovery, it can also be a minefield of triggers and temptations. In this episode of 'Sober Sisters Talk', hosts M.G. and Elizabeth Pudwill are joined by Cheree to share practical advice on how to stay sober and sane during the holidays. They dive into strategies for managing family drama, setting healthy boundaries, and even creating new traditions that support your sobriety journey.
One standout tip from the episode is to reconnect with your inner child. By observing your behavior and understanding your patterns, you can better identify what might lead you astray. The hosts also emphasize the importance of acceptance and the power of taking breaks when things get overwhelming. Whether it's stepping out for a breather, making a quick phone call, or simply taking a moment to yourself, these small actions can make a big difference.
Another key takeaway is the concept of 'bookending' difficult situations. This involves preparing yourself mentally before entering a challenging environment and then debriefing afterward to process your feelings and experiences. The episode also highlights the value of attending meetings and seeking support from your recovery community during this festive but often stressful time.
'Sober Sisters Talk' brings a blend of warmth, humor, and directness to the conversation, making it feel like you're getting advice from trusted friends who genuinely understand the highs and lows of recovery. If you're looking for practical tips and a bit of moral support to navigate the holiday season sober, this episode is a must-listen.
