What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol?

As festive lights twinkle and carols fill the air, many are grappling with personal battles beneath the surface. Beebe highlights the dichotomy between external celebrations and internal conflicts, particularly for those in recovery.
He reminds us that Christmas can be a 'lookout season' where emotional and physical relapses loom large.
