The idea behind the marathon meetings is that you plan ahead of time for a situation that could be triggering.
The holiday season is a minefield for anyone in recovery. Between family gatherings, social events, and the pressure to give the perfect gift, it's easy to feel overwhelmed.

Arlina emphasizes the importance of creating fun experiences, especially early in recovery when boredom can be a significant hurdle. Surround yourself with positive, uplifting people who can help you manufacture joy and build healthy habits. If you're looking for practical strategies to get through the holidays sober, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in for insights that can make this festive season a little easier and a lot more joyful.
