Like it or not, the holidays are here! We've got some tips for staying #sober. #soberholidays mylifeinrecovery.com/sober-h…
#SoberHolidays Tip: It’s okay to tell people you are now in #recovery. There is a lot less stigma these days to being in recovery. Nearly everyone knows someone who is in recovery and very open about it. Of course, it’s your choice whether or not you want to tell people. #sober

#SoberHolidays Tip: Remember what Recovery Zone you’re in. If you’re in early #recovery, the Red Zone, you may be a bit shaky. Don’t leave yourself open to temptation. It’s okay to have a quiet holiday. #sober

#SoberHolidays Tip: If you’re following the Recovery Zone System, remember where you are in #recovery. In early recovery, the Red Zone, you're bound to be a bit shaky. Don’t push yourself. It’s okay to have a quiet holiday season. bit.ly/MLR-RecoveryZoneSyste… #sober

#SoberHolidays Tip Plan your own celebrations. Most of us are not traveling this year, so make plans to celebrate with local AA or NA friends by video! If you haven’t been invited, do the inviting yourself. #sober #soberposse #recovery

#SoberHolidays Tip Don’t romance the drink or drug. If everyone starts talking about the “good old days,” leave the convo. You don’t want to start thinking about your drinking/using days. That can lead to preoccupation, obsession, and cravings. Focus on your life in recovery.

#SoberHolidays Tip: Take it easy! Get plenty of rest, watch what you eat, get your usual exercise, and take time for meditation. Maintain your recovery routine as much as possible. #sober #recovery

#SoberHolidays Tip1 Remind yourself every morning how good it feels to be sober (and how great it will feel come January). Plant that thought in your mind, and think about it every morning. Stick a note on your bathroom mirror to remind yourself to think about it every day.
The Recovery Zone System, the backbone of The Recovery Book and the My Life in Recovery workbook, works hand in hand with 12-step programs. Get a free sample download of the workbook at mylifeinrecovery.com.

Too bad alcohol/drug awareness and #recovery attitudes aren’t a greater component of social movements. Let’s embrace abstinence and enhance the success of these important human rights initiatives.

I’ve jousted with pseudointellectuals for decades who fail to see the evidence that AA works. Case now closed. Cochrane is the golden standard in medical science and they say “Yes it does.” doi.org/10.1002/14651858.CD0…

No better time than now to examine relationship with #alcohol. All it takes to qualify for #AA membership and #recovery is a desire to stop drinking. uk.reuters.com/article/us-us…

Often #addiction is characterized in a binary description - active or #recovery. My experience, research, and writing finds a developmental model of healing leaves more room for every worthwhile approach. TheRecoveryBook.com
Bill W's creation of AA was stroke of genius/insight/caring. His 12-step approach (group self-help/abstinence/spirituality) has inspired 100s millions/still best recovery route for many. But no 1 size ever fits all-medication assisted #harmreduction is best alternative for many.
