holidays helpyourself
Holiday seasons can be especially stressful for recovering people.One reason is we tend
to think of holidays as magical,mystical,times and set unrealistic expectations. Holidays may also bring to mind memories-pleasent or unplesent-of indulging. For many people,facing holidays without drinking,drugging,or overeating may seem a dreary,unfulfilling prospect. Some advance planing can help,We can log on here and go into chat as well as posting your feelings,or if you prefare go to AA meetings or spend your time with good friends. We,ll need to be more aware of slogans like,easy does it and one day at a time,and use H>A>L>T to remind ourselfs not to get too hungry,angry,lonely or tired.We can plan to do some things we enjoy and take time to be good to ourselfs. Or ask others how they manage holidays safely,Above all we can make a point of finding the beauty,joy and love in the festive season,and ask for help if we need it,Whatever methods we use sobriety or abstinence should be our first priority. As holidays approach,help me not to expect to much of myself or others.
