This holiday season, we want to remind you of something deeply important in recovery: it’s okay to say no.
Many of us feel the urge to give all our time, energy, and love to the people in our lives. But recovery teaches us the power of boundaries - the ability to pause, check in with ourselves, and ask:
What do I need? Who am I in this moment? What do the holidays truly mean to me?
Sometimes the answer means saying no to certain gatherings, obligations, or expectations we’ve carried for years. And in that space, something beautiful can happen: we begin creating holiday traditions that support our healing, honor our growth, and reflect who we are becoming.
💛 Our hope for you this holiday season:
That you create a tradition that is uniquely yours, one that respects your boundaries, nurtures your recovery, and brings you genuine peace. And if that means saying no, know that it’s not only acceptable… it’s healthy.
You deserve a season that supports your wellbeing. Meadows is here with you on that journey. 🎄✨
