Summary

Feeling anxious and uncertain about how to stay sober during the holidays? You’re not alone, especially if it's your first holiday season alcohol-free.  It's completely normal to feel out of place and crave a drink during those holiday parties and family gatherings.  You’re probably used to toasting the New Year with a glass of champagne or sipping red wine around the Christmas fire.  For a long time I knew that I should stop drinking but couldn’t imagine office holiday parties, family celebrations and New Year’s Eve alcohol-free. The truth is that my first holiday season wasn’t easy, but it was good.  After years of regretting drinking too much at big events it was lovely to remember all of New Year’s Eve, wake up on Christmas morning without a hangover and replace guilt and regret with peace and pride.  To help you navigate the boozy holiday season alcohol-free, I gathered a trio of experts: Gill Tietz, host of  the Sober Powered podcast, Veronica Valli, author and host of the Soberful podcast, and Paul Churchill host of the Recovery Elevator podcast.  3 Ways I Can Support You In Drinking Less + Living More Join The Sobriety Starter Kit, the only sober coaching course designed specifically for busy women. My proven, step-by-step sober coaching program will teach you exactly how to stop drinking — and how to make it the best decision of your life.

But it wasn't that long ago that I was anxious, overwhelmed, and drinking a bottle

of wine a night to unwind. I thought that wine was the glue, holding my life together,

helping me cope with my kids, my stressful job, and my busy life. I didn't realize that my love

affair with drinking was making me more anxious and less able to manage my
