How to maintain sobriety during the Holidays? Bring your own non- alcoholic beverages to gatherings, practice saying "No thanks, I am the designated driver" and then really be the designated driver. Remember the FEAR acronym....Forget Everything And Run... some times it is the best option. Find alternative activities, Go to meeting- Houston has many, many resources available. Call someone who loves you, Exercise (especially after eating the cookies!), Acknowledge how you feel but don't allow yourself to engage in self pity. Then get busy, remember all the challenges you have overcome thus far. Be your own cheerleader.
