Author: This time of year presents all kinds of drinking triggers for those of us trying to stay sober. Here are just a few tips that might help.
- Go to meetings prior to parties.
- Don’t get too hungry, angry, lonely or tired.
- Stay busy, volunteer at places like pet rescues, food kitchens, senior centers, homeless shelters etc. It helps you feel gratitude and thankfulness.
- Try not to avoid social interaction that includes alcoholic beverages. It doesn’t help and just isolates you.
- When at a party order cranberry juice in a wine glass or non alcoholic beer so that you feel like you are fitting in.
- Have a plan, an escape route if you are starting to feel unsure.
- Make a support call during the party if you need to.
- Stay active
