Heading into your first sober holiday season can feel overwhelming — loud rooms, old traditions, pushy relatives, and moments that catch you off guard. In this episode, we break down a simple plan to help you get through the holidays without drinking… and without feeling like you’re missing out on everything.
You’ll learn how to prepare for tricky situations, respond confidently when someone offers you a drink, avoid unnecessary pressure, handle the emotional moments that come out of nowhere, and create new holiday experiences that actually feel good. You’ll also hear why having a “finish line” at the end of the night can make all the difference — plus a challenge to help you walk into your next event feeling grounded instead of anxious.
If this is your first sober holiday season (or the first one you want actually to enjoy), this episode will help you feel steadier, more prepared, and a whole lot less alone.
