To be aware is to be alive. One of the things I used to try and counsel clients on is the unwritten philosophy that does not mean please look both ways before you cross the street because if you don't, you might get hit by a bus and die.
The holiday season can be a minefield for anyone in recovery from substance abuse. This episode of 'ROACHE on RECOVERY' dives into the heart of these challenges, offering practical advice and heartfelt support. From family gatherings where alcohol flows freely to the loneliness that can creep in, the hosts tackle it all with honesty and empathy. They explore common triggers that surface during the holidays and share strategies to help you stay on track.
One major topic is the pressure to drink at social events. The hosts suggest having a plan in place before you go, like bringing your own non-alcoholic drinks or having a sober buddy on standby. They also touch on the emotional side of the holidays. For those who have lost loved ones or lack close family ties, this time of year can feel particularly isolating.
The hosts recommend reaching out to your support network, whether that's a therapist, a recovery sponsor, or a friend who understands your journey. Throughout the episode, there's a strong focus on self-awareness and prioritizing your sobriety. The hosts encourage listeners to be honest about their triggers and to seek support when needed. With a mix of practical tips and compassionate advice, this episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating recovery during the holiday season.
