Navigating a Sober Holiday Season: Tips for Families from Kevin Petersen

We're not telling you to quit drinking, we're not telling you to sober up. We're just saying: hey, there's somebody here that has been open and vulnerable about the fact that they're fighting for their life. You know, how do we minimize the damage drunk Kevin does to the family holiday system?
Holidays can be a minefield for families dealing with addiction. In this episode of 'The Chronic Hope Podcast', host Kevin Petersen teams up with Danny Colella to offer a survival guide for maintaining sobriety during the festive season. The holidays, often filled with social gatherings and emotional triggers, can be particularly challenging for those in recovery and their families. Kevin and Danny dive into practical strategies that can help everyone stay on track and support each other.
They stress the importance of open communication, planning ahead, and setting clear boundaries. Families are encouraged to discuss holiday plans early, respect each other's needs, and practice self-care. This episode also highlights the valuable resources provided by the Chronic Hope Institute, including personalized family case management plans and Kevin's book, 'Chronic Hope: Parenting the Addicted Child'. If you're looking for actionable advice to navigate the holidays without jeopardizing sobriety, this episode is a must-listen.
