Surviving the Holidays: Dora Gosselin's Top Tips for Staying Sober
“You're not missing out on anything. Remind yourself why you got sober and how bad and miserable you were before you decided to get sober.”
The holiday season can be a minefield for anyone in recovery, with celebrations often revolving around alcohol. Dora Gosselin, host of the Soberoso podcast, knows this all too well. In this episode, she shares five practical tips to help you navigate these festive times without compromising your sobriety. Drawing from her own experiences, Dora offers heartfelt advice that's both relatable and actionable. She starts by emphasizing the importance of self-awareness using the acronym H.A.L.T. - Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired.
If you're feeling any of these, it might be best to skip the event. Next, she suggests bringing a sober friend along for support and accountability. A simple prayer for strength before heading out can also make a big difference. When temptation strikes, Dora advises taking a moment to pause and reflect on why you chose sobriety in the first place. Lastly, she recommends always having your favorite non-alcoholic drinks on hand to avoid the lure of alcohol.
Whether you're newly sober or a seasoned veteran, Dora's tips are designed to help you enjoy the holidays without jeopardizing your recovery journey.
