Preparedness is the KEY to surviving the holidays with our sobriety (and our sanity) intact!
The festive season can be a minefield for anyone in recovery, especially if you're in the early stages. With December through January packed with stress, high expectations, and endless temptations, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. In this episode of The Bubble Hour, host Jean McCarthy dives into practical strategies to help you navigate this challenging time and keep your sobriety—and sanity—intact. Jean and her guests break down the importance of being prepared.
They share actionable tips like bringing your own non-alcoholic drinks to gatherings, having a quick escape plan if things get too much, and steering clear of HALT triggers—hungry, angry, lonely, tired. The episode also highlights the power of community and accountability. Whether you're leaning on friends who understand your journey or finding support groups, having a network can make all the difference. This episode isn't just about surviving the holidays; it's about thriving in them.
With a focus on self-care and smart planning, you'll find valuable advice to help you enjoy the season without compromising your recovery.
