What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? Well, Christmas can be a particularly challenging time for those on the path to sobriety. In this festive episode, Ash Butterss joins Danni Carr to share five practical tips for staying on track during the holiday season.

Moving your body in ways that you enjoy is another key piece of advice. Whether it's a gentle walk or a lively dance session, keeping active helps maintain mental and physical balance. Finally, Ash and Danni encourage listeners to savour each moment, reminding us to pause and appreciate the joy and connections of the season.
