Alcohol is everywhere, especially on cruises. I'm gonna be straight up honest with you guys. But I was able to turn them down successfully with these four strategies.
Social situations can be tricky when you're trying to stay sober, but in this episode of Recovery Elevator, Paul Churchill and Kristopher Oyen offer practical advice to help you through. They introduce Neal, who has been sober for 20 months, and share his valuable insights. Neal emphasizes that willpower alone isn't enough to keep you on track. Instead, he suggests four essential strategies: accountability, playing the tape forward, having an exit plan, and pausing to think.
Neal's journey shows that finding new reasons to stay sober and creating personalized coping mechanisms can make all the difference. From the emotional relief he found at an AA convention to the challenges he faced after relapsing, Neal's story is a powerful reminder that sobriety is a continuous journey. Tune in to learn how these strategies can help you handle social events without reaching for a drink.
