Rehearse Recovery for the Holidays

It's upon us: The Holiday Season!

Lights, Parties, TEMPTATION!

I'll suggest, for those new to this, to rehearse your reactions to temptations. I've used the technique before to prepare for situations where I need a predetermined outcome.

You go to a party. Someone offers you a drink. What do you say? What if they insist? What if they cajole?

You're gifted a bottle. Usually a really good bottle. What do you do?

Rehearsing your responses to these and other situations is stopping problems before they can happen.

Great advice. I find grabbing a big soft drink as soon as I set foot into the party helps a lot, as well as eating beforehand.
