Mentally, you can reach physical goals so much easier it you should take the leap, you should give it a try and believe in yourself and you'll see that it can be a lot better.
Ever felt the pressure to drink at holiday gatherings? You're not alone. In this episode of Recovery Elevator, Hannah shares her experience of staying sober through the ups and downs of life. Having taken her last drink on April 16, 2020, Hannah opens up about her early days of sobriety and the challenges she faced, especially around holidays like the 4th of July. Living in Las Vegas, she knows a thing or two about environments where alcohol is prevalent.
Hannah’s story is a testament to the strength it takes to remain alcohol-free, even when society seems to encourage the opposite. Odette kicks off the episode by addressing the upcoming 4th of July weekend, a time typically filled with food, fun, and, unfortunately for some, heavy drinking. She asks a crucial question: How can we use the current pandemic and our desire to stay sober to our advantage this holiday?
Odette offers practical tips like bringing your own non-alcoholic drinks, setting a goal for the day to stay sober, and even leaving gatherings if they become too tempting. Paul also introduces a new meditation specifically designed to help with cravings. It's a 20-minute session aimed at providing mental tools to resist the urge to drink. Whether you’re newly sober or have been alcohol-free for years, this episode offers valuable insights into maintaining sobriety during challenging times.
So, if you're looking for ways to enjoy your holiday without alcohol, tune in. You'll find support, encouragement, and actionable advice to help you navigate social events while staying true to your commitment to sobriety.
