Surviving the Holidays: Tips for Staying Sober and Centered
“The biggest thing to remember, too, is you can't control someone else's what they say or their actions as much as we'd like to...if they throw you off the deep end with something that you're not expecting.”

In this episode of 'This Is Not A Meeting', Scottage, Big Joe, and Jimbo tackle the unique hurdles that come with festive seasons. They offer practical advice on how to stay centered and maintain sobriety when everyone around you might be indulging. The hosts dive into the importance of self-awareness and having a solid plan in place.
