Choosing sobriety can be especially difficult during the holidays. Between the stress of relationships, family, work, and everything this season asks of us, triggers can feel like they’re everywhere—and the pull to return to old ways of coping can feel heavy.

You don't have to be perfect to show up.

John and Tracie, two recovery coaches at Summit Pointe, recently sat down to talk about how they move through the holidays in a way that honors their core values, respects their boundaries, and supports their sobriety.

If this season feels hard, we want you to know we see you. 24-hour support is available at First Step, and you don’t have to navigate this alone.

Today is the winter solstice—the shortest day of the year. From here, the light slowly but surely begins to return, and brighter days truly are ahead.

As sunlight increases, many people notice a lift in mood, better sleep, and a steadier sense of well-being. If this season has felt heavy, let this be a gentle reminder to stay cozy, take care of yourself, and trust that change is already on its way. 🌤️
