They get real about the stress that comes with holiday cheer and how it can lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms like drugs or alcohol.
But don’t worry, they've got you covered with practical tips and heartfelt advice. Heather and Donnie emphasize the importance of a strong support system. Whether it’s a therapist, sponsor, or sober friends, having someone to lean on can make all the difference. They also share their favorite traditions, like dressing up in matching pajamas and exchanging gag gifts, to show that fun doesn’t have to involve alcohol. The duo suggests creating new, sober traditions to replace old ones.
Maybe join a charity event or watch a Christmas movie at your local church. The key is to stay busy and avoid isolation. This episode isn’t just about surviving the holidays; it’s about finding joy and creating lasting memories without alcohol. So if you’re dreading the holiday season, tune in for some invaluable advice from Heather and Donnie. You might just find that this year, sobriety can be your greatest gift.
