Ep. 135: Your First Sober Holiday Season

If you’re in early sobriety or are trying to stop drinking, navigating your first sober holiday season can be a challenge. Why is it hard to get through your first sober holiday season? Well, the holidays are not only a wonderful time of year but also a gauntlet of social, emotional and environmental triggers to drink. I was nine months sober my first holiday season and thought that I would have no problem enjoying it alcohol-free. And still, I was surprised by the need to tap into sober support and plan around drinking events to maintain my sobriety. Kimberly Kearns, a friend and author of the sobriety memoir On the Edge of Shattered, also had a difficult time in her first sober holiday season. Kim stopped drinking right after Thanksgiving and was only 3 weeks sober going into her first sober Hanukkah, Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Kim and I are going to share with you all our best tips, advice and strategies to survive your first sober holiday season.
