Holiday Stress
Good morning! I'm an early riser and right now it's about 4:15 a.m. and as I think about being in the heart of the holiday season, I know that it could be a tough time when we think about sobriety.
Let's talk about ways to get through the tougher days during the season.
For me, I just make sure that I don't let the stress and confusion that society throws into the holiday season. Christmas is about love and celebrating the birth of our lord, Jesus christ. So what I think about this, I think about family, celebration, and yes, possibly exchanging a gift with loved ones.
I've had several people reach out to me about feeling guilty that they cannot purchase gifts for their families or children. But I would like to remind everyone that when it comes to family, more times than not, they are just thrilled that we are sober and present for the holiday.
I am here for anyone that would like to talk or vent or try to brainstorm ideas that can help keep the stress down for the holidays.
