The holidays can be tough for those in recovery — but you don’t have to face them alone.
Stress, loneliness, and gatherings with alcohol or drugs can all trigger cravings or setbacks. That’s why our Substance Use Team encourages planning, self-care, and a strong support system.
✨ A few reminders:
Have a plan for stress — deep breathing, walking, meetings, calling a friend.
Stay connected — reach out to recovery groups and attend sober holiday events.
Protect your peace — it’s okay to say “no” or to leave a risky situation.
💭 Holiday Tip: Remember R.A.C.E.
Recognize triggers. Avoid if you can. Cope when you can’t. Evaluate and learn for next time.
Recovery is possible, even through the holidays. 💚
