It may seem obvious, but always plan ahead. People will undoubtedly offer you a drink during holiday-themed events and family gatherings. Unless you are fortunate enough to only be attending gatherings with other substance-free individuals, it is almost unheard of to not have some sort of alcoholic beverage offered during celebrations. Declining drinks can even make others get defensive and feel judged for their choice to drink.

Prepare in advance for difficult circumstances and upsetting surroundings. Read more on our blog. https://buff.ly/3VCxPYc

The holidays can make it challenging to stay sober. With the increase in family gatherings, office parties, and social events, alcohol is often seen as a gathering staple. Simply put, it's a time of year when there are a lot of parties. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's all fall within just 45 days of each other. Added stressors of the social backdrop during the holiday season make long-term recovery commitments incredibly difficult.
