"No drinks for me. It's so much easier just to say no thanks, don't want it, not having it."
How do individuals turn their lives around after addiction, especially during the festive season? Christmas, often a time of joy, can also be fraught with triggers and stress, making it a challenging period for those in recovery. In this heartfelt episode, host Danni Carr offers a comforting hand to listeners navigating sobriety on Christmas Day. With the help of previous guests and experts, she shares daily tips throughout December to support anyone struggling with the pressures of the holiday season.
Danni emphasises the importance of setting clear intentions and sticking to them. "No drinks for me," she advises, highlighting how much simpler it is to say a firm no rather than negotiating with oneself. She encourages listeners to keep themselves busy by helping out with tasks like doing the dishes or making gravy, and not to forget the little joys like enjoying alcohol-free drinks or going for a walk. Breathing exercises also take centre stage in this episode.
Danni recalls advice from past guests like Luke Snuski and Mark Purser, suggesting simple practices like balloon breathing to stay calm and grounded. These techniques are presented as powerful tools for maintaining peace and steadiness amidst potential chaos. Listeners are reminded to celebrate their achievements, no matter how small. Danni assures them that while the first year might be tough, it gets easier over time.
Her message is one of hope and resilience, urging everyone to be the best version of themselves without judgement. Whether surrounded by family or enjoying solitude, this episode is a gentle reminder to cherish the day with love and joy. Are you ready to embrace a joyful, sober Christmas and wake up tomorrow feeling proud of your achievements?
