Building Sobriety Momentum: Tips for Staying Strong During the Holidays

The work we do has less to do with getting through The Day without alcohol and more to do with improving our relationships with ourselves, the world and the people around us.
The holiday season can be a minefield for anyone on the path to sobriety. In this episode of 'Sober Militia', host J.W. Collier dives into the idea of 'sobriety momentum' and how to keep it going, even when faced with festive temptations. Think of sobriety momentum like pushing a boulder up a hill; it takes effort, but once you get it moving, it becomes easier to maintain.
But how do you keep that boulder rolling, especially when holiday parties and gatherings make it feel like the world is conspiring against you? J.W. Collier shares practical advice on sustaining this momentum. He suggests that finding your 'why'—the core reason behind your decision to quit drinking—can be a powerful motivator. By understanding what drives you, whether it's family, health, or personal growth, you can better navigate the tricky social landscapes of the holidays.
Collier also talks about the importance of changing your perspective. Instead of seeing sobriety as a struggle, try to view it as an opportunity to improve your relationships with yourself and those around you. The episode is packed with actionable tips that go beyond just getting through the day without a drink. It’s about creating a fulfilling life where sobriety is not just a goal but a rewarding journey.
If you're feeling the holiday stress and need some encouragement to keep your sobriety momentum going, this episode offers a fresh perspective and practical strategies to help you stay on track. Tune in to hear J.W.'s insights and find out how you can turn this holiday season into a time of growth and self-improvement.
