So here we are on the brink of The Holidays, yep, coming up and you have the opportunity to make it something different.
The holiday season often brings joy and celebration, but for those on the path to recovery from sex addiction, it can feel like walking through a minefield. High expectations, overcommitment, and fatigue can easily trigger heightened emotions and mood swings. Add travel and busy schedules to the mix, and the stress levels can skyrocket. Plus, being away from your usual support network can amplify feelings of isolation.
But don’t worry, this episode of 'The 12th Step Podcast' has got you covered with some solid advice to navigate this tricky time of year. Gary, Mike, and Daniel share their personal experiences and practical tips to help you safeguard your sobriety during the holidays. One major challenge they discuss is managing expectations. It’s perfectly okay to say no and set boundaries, even if it means disappointing others. Creating a supportive holiday environment is another key focus.
Staying connected to your recovery network, even if it’s just a quick check-in, can make a world of difference. Self-care is crucial, especially during this hectic season. The hosts emphasize the importance of fostering gratitude and finding joy in small moments, even when things get tough. They also talk about planning ahead—whether it’s for future holidays or simply making the best of the current one.
By actively contributing to the positive aspects of the season, you can create new, healthier traditions. Don’t let the holiday season derail your progress. Tune in to 'The 12th Step Podcast' for practical tips and heartfelt advice on how to navigate the holidays while keeping your recovery intact.
