God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.
Ever wondered how to stay sober during the holiday season, when temptations and triggers seem to be everywhere? In this episode of 'The Bubble Hour', host Jean McCarthy brings together a collection of voices from women at a SheRecovers retreat in Mexico. These women, each at different stages of their recovery journey, share candid insights and practical tips on navigating the festive period without alcohol.
From knowing when to leave a party to finding a quiet corner for some grounding techniques, these stories are packed with real-world advice. One guest mentions, 'I'll play it through and I'll remember: wait, you don't do that anymore, that's not what I go to'. It's about having a plan and sticking to it. Another recurring theme is the power of community and support.
Whether it's connecting one-on-one with sober friends or attending retreats, the importance of not feeling alone is emphasized. As one guest puts it, 'The holidays for me are about connecting with my family and they're not networking events anymore...I prefer people one-on-one connecting in more intimate settings'. This episode doesn't just offer practical tips; it dives into the emotional aspects of staying sober during the holidays. Topics like self-care, setting boundaries, and finding joy in sobriety are explored deeply.
One woman shares, 'I just want to be free from the power weakness had on me'. If you're looking for heartfelt stories and actionable advice to help you stay sober during the holiday season, this episode is a must-listen.
