Honesty is always the best policy, but there are ways of doing it.
The holiday season can be a minefield for anyone, but for those in recovery, it’s like walking a tightrope. In this episode of The Recovered Life Show, hosts Damon Frank and Kristina Dennis sit down with life and recovery strategist George Snyder to chat about the tricky balance of honesty during family holiday gatherings. The episode, 'Honesty...
and why the family holiday party is not the time to resolve family issues', dives into why some topics are best left untouched when the turkey is being carved. Snyder suggests that while honesty is crucial in recovery, there's a time and place for everything. During family holiday parties, keeping conversations light and steering clear of sensitive subjects can help keep the peace.
He shares practical tips on how to prepare for these events, like having a few neutral topics ready to keep the conversation flowing smoothly. The hosts also discuss the added pressure of being around family members who may not fully grasp the progress made in recovery. Demonstrating change through actions rather than words can often speak louder, especially in a high-tension environment like a holiday party.
Snyder reminds us that people might be waiting for any slip-up, so it’s essential to stay grounded and avoid triggering topics. The episode is packed with valuable advice on navigating these tricky situations, emphasizing that holidays are brief moments in time, and there’s always another day to tackle deeper issues. Tune in to The Recovered Life Show for a blend of heartfelt advice and practical strategies to help you sail through the holiday season with your sobriety intact.
