Experiencing the holiday season sober may seem like a daunting challenge, but rest assured, it's one that you can face successfully. Join me, a former fashion model and now a competitive athlete. I will provide pragmatic advice on tackling triggering situations that could potentially interfere with your path to sobriety.
These are my secret weapons to maintain sobriety: laying out a robust plan and having a non-alcoholic drink at your disposal, always. I also talk about "playing the tape", a mental exercise to visualize the possible outcomes before succumbing to temptation. I also open up about my personal experience of choosing sobriety during a particularly taxing holiday season, which led to healing old wounds and strengthening relationships.
Finally, remember that choosing sobriety doesn't equate to missing out on holiday cheer; it's about celebrating the season in a healthier, more fulfilling way. So let's hold steadfast to our commitment to sobriety and make this holiday season worth remembering.
