Thanksgiving Sobriety Planning

Here we are at another Thanksgiving and Holiday Season. Happy Thanksgiving!

For many, this can include visits with friends and family. And for many, those visits will be a minefield of relapse triggers.

For those without family or friends to visit – Thanksgiving and winter holidays are a lonely time that can also be a major trigger and challenge to sobriety.

Are there ways to experience holidays without relapse or major depression? Holidays can be stressful – but they are not destined to be depressing. It is vitally important to have a Sobriety Plan.

Holiday Sobriety Planning Tips

  1. Make a firm and unshakable resolve to remain Sober.
  2. Remember self care: Check H.A.L.T. – Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired.
  3. Avoid people, places and things that bring memories of previous drinking or drugging.
  4. Have Strategies and a Plan for Relapse Prevention in Place; know potential obstacles.
  5. Self Regulate and Communicate; Return to Common Ground Topics
  6. Manage emotions; use Mindfulness to stay in the present moment.
  7. Attend recovery support group meetings, such as SMART Recovery, AA, NA, ACA, NarAnon
  8. If family gatherings are too stressful or toxic – attend support group meetings and/or spend time with supportive friends.
  9. Use mindfulness to acknowledge and work with emotions – do not ‘bury’ unpleasant emotions.
  10. Allow yourself to have Real Fun – Sober. Create new sober holiday traditions.
  11. Give Thanks: Implement ‘Gratitude as an Attitude‘ whenever possible.
  12. Sobriety is the Priority. (And have a back-up plan in place).

New Start Recovery Solutions - Coping with Social Distancing at Thanksgiving

Coping with Social Distancing on Thanksgiving

Parts From ‘We asked mental health experts how to cope with a lonely Thanksgiving‘

For those in recovery – social support and interaction is important. That makes the Thanksgiving 2020 Social Distancing even more challenging to manage.

It will take more effort – but it is possible.

Remember, Thanksgiving is just one day out of the year.

And if you’re lonely, so are millions of other Americans going through the same thing.

Dr. Carlin Barnes, MD, and Dr. Marketa Wills, MD, MBA, who are the co-authors of “Understanding Mental Illness,” told me that it’s totally normal to feel lonely this Thanksgiving. “It can be easy to lose sight of the fact that Thanksgiving is one day and not a week or season,” they said. “Shifting your focus to a day instead of managing a holiday week or holiday season can help reduce anxiety.”

“It is important to acknowledge and validate if you are feeling lonely on this Thanksgiving holiday,” Barnes and Wills added. “If you are feeling some loneliness, this is very normal, many of us are having these same feelings.”

Together, Barnes and Wills sent me a list of activities they recommend:

• Connect with family and friends virtually (with use of Zoom, FaceTime, or other video conferencing platforms)

• Participate in a drive by, socially distant potluck dinner

• Reach out via phone and reconnect with family and friends with a phone call

• Plan activities that allow you to use your alone time enjoying fun or relaxing activities (e.g. exercise, volunteer by dropping food off to a shelter or writing letters to nursing home residents or veterans, read a good book, watch a good movie, cook a special holiday meal)

• Meditate and/or create a gratitude list of things you’re grateful for

• If possible, get out in nature

• Start planning how you will spend next Thanksgiving when things are (hopefully) back to normal

Use Mindfulness to Stay Present

What is mindfulness? Mindfulness is having the internal focus to be quietly aware of your own thoughts and impulses – without judgment and without acting on the impulses.

Studies have shown that alterations in brain and immune function are produced by mindfulness meditation. With mindfulness practice, new neural networks are created in the brain.

Mindfulness meditation is associated with structural changes in areas of the brain that are important for sensory, cognitive and emotional processing.

Mindfulness meditation research shows that Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention is effective. Study results find that mindfulness interrupts reactive behaviors and encourages thoughtful and skillful responses to relapse triggers.

New Start Recovery Solutions includes Mindfulness as a part of our Whole Person addiction recovery program; including Conscious Recovery.
