The holidays are about connecting on a deeper level with my family and my in-laws, and having the kids connecting with these people around the holidays, and that's the most important thing for me right now in sobriety.
Holidays can be a tough time for anyone, but for those in recovery, the festive season often brings unique challenges. In this heartfelt episode of 'Sober Gratitudes', host Sarah Elizabeth sits down with her dear friend Tara, who has been sober for over 13 years through the AA program. Tara opens up about what the holidays were like during her active alcoholism compared to her sober celebrations today.
From embarrassing moments at family gatherings to navigating business functions, Tara's past holiday experiences were far from merry. But now, she has found tools and support that help her replace alcohol with healthier habits. The conversation also delves into the added layer of difficulty brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic. As mothers, both Sarah and Tara discuss how they coped with the 'Covid holidays', emphasizing the importance of family connections and support systems in maintaining sobriety.
Tara's story is a testament to the power of community and the transformative impact of sobriety on one's life. Whether you're new to recovery or have been sober for years, this episode offers valuable insights and hope for anyone facing the holiday season without alcohol.
