A lot of people in today's age are lacking faith. And so it's just such a huge thing to have, even if it's not faith in some type of higher power or God or the universe, to have faith in something, you know, without any type of faith in yourself, faith on your self-reliance, faith on that your family's there for you, faith in the power of nature.
The holiday season can be a minefield for anyone trying to stay sober. With parties, family gatherings, and the general hustle and bustle, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. In this episode of the Elevation Recovery Podcast, co-hosts Chris Scott and Matt Finch tackle this very issue head-on.

Their advice is rooted in a comprehensive approach that covers not just the physical aspects of recovery, but also the mental and spiritual dimensions. One of the key points they emphasize is the importance of nutrient repair.
They explain how maintaining a balanced diet can support your recovery journey and help you resist the temptation to drink. Proactive planning is another crucial strategy they discuss, encouraging listeners to prepare for social situations in advance to avoid unexpected triggers. The episode also explores alternatives to traditional drinking habits, offering suggestions for non-alcoholic beverages and activities that can help you enjoy the holidays without alcohol.
Throughout the conversation, Chris and Matt highlight the significance of faith and spirituality in recovery, sharing how these elements have played a vital role in their own journeys. Whether you're new to sobriety or have been on this path for a while, this episode provides valuable insights and support.
