SHow Notes
- In this weeks podcast I start off by recapping my family vacation to AMI and comparing it to a similar trip last year before I quit drinking. Spoiler, this year was much better!
- We need to git rid of the thought process that when we quite drinking we lost something. It actually is the exact opposite, we gained EVERYTHING!
Navigating the Holidays
I spent time discussing some of the things you can do to ensure you have a great safe Holiday season:
- Drive your own car so you can leave on your own terms.
- check in with your sponsor before and after the party.
- Bring some to drink in case an alcohol free option is not provided.
- In cases such as a family holiday event don’t be afraid to call ahead and discuss something that may be on your mind. In my case the fear the whole party would be dry on my behalf.
- As with most things, practice makes perfect. The more events you attend the more comfortable you will feel.
- Do not lock yourself in the basement and avoid the fun!!
Step 12
- The Holiday’s are a great time to practice step 12. Use this opportunity to help others.
- A huge Thank You to all of my listeners. I find these podcasts so rewarding and with out you non of this would even be possible!!!
