The holidays are a strange time for an addict. If you are in active addiction, you might find the holidays ripe with excuses to use. It's the best time to hide your using while everyone around you is distracted with the shopping and the menu planning, you can drink/use your cares away in solitude. When the holidays finally arrive, you have either alienated your family to the point they don't want you around anymore, or you'll use the gatherings to drink and use with others.
The long and short of it is: if you're going to try to be sober or stay sober during the holidays, you're gonna need to do things a little bit differently. Episode 2 of the Sober Happy Hour | Radio Podcast will give you some tips and tricks on staying happy, healthy and sober this holiday season.
It doesn't mean you have to be a stick in the mud either. You can still enjoy yourself and your friends and family will probably enjoy you a lot more, too!
