I think people are tough and resilient overall and I think it's important to remember that you're tough and you're resilient and that you're going to approach life from that perspective.
The holiday season can be a minefield for anyone grappling with substance dependence or addiction. Clare Waismann, RAS/SUDCC, and David Livingston, LMFT, team up in this episode to offer something different from the usual holiday advice. Instead of the typical 'stay sober' tips, they dig into the deeper principles that can make your holiday not just manageable, but genuinely healing. How do you handle unrealistic expectations? What about the financial stress and loneliness that often come with the season?
Clare and David tackle these tough questions head-on, offering practical strategies to overcome holiday stressors and addiction issues. They emphasize the importance of focusing on what truly matters—good sleep, regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and meaningful connections with people. One standout moment in the episode is when David reminds us, 'People are tough and resilient overall. It's important to remember that you're tough and resilient and that you're going to approach life from that perspective'.
Whether you're dealing with substance dependence yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a refreshing take on how to navigate the holidays with grace and resilience.
