Welcome to our Newest Members -
Here are some helpful tips to I found to help you have a clean and sober July 4th.
Plan your parties. You don’t need to attend each party you’re invited to, so pick the ones you feel you’ll be most supported at as a sober person. Typically this also means going to the party with someone you trust.Someone who knows your goal is to remain clean and sober. Be accountable.
Prepare yourself mentally. Play the day and night through in your mind. Don’t obsess about it, but think about what you’ll say when someone offers you a drink or drug.
Be sure to practice the word, ‘No.’ It seems basic, but sometimes as newly clean and sober people we feel we need to tell people we are in recovery. It isn’t necessary, especially when all you have to say is, “no, thank you.” If a person is persistent, which sometimes happens, walk away; you not drinking is an issue they need to deal with.
Work to spend some time with close friends and family who are supportive of you in recovery. Sometimes we have family members who are clean and sober as well. Track them down and spend time with them. Ask for support!
Having an exit strategy is helpful as well. Drive your own car, or go with someone who would be willing to go at a moment’s notice. Also, be sure when you park your car, you are parking it away from other vehicles. You don’t want to be boxed in and unable to leave.
Finding a new tradition to celebrate the holidays is always a great way to remove yourself from old habits.
Avoiding H.A.L.T. is first and foremost on days like this. H = Hungry, A = Angry, L = Lonely, T = Tired. So, if you hungry, eat. If you are angry, talk to someone about it. If you are experiencing loneliness, call a sober friend or go to a meeting. If you are tired, then take a nap or work to get a good night’s sleep.
Live for today. Just take it easy and enjoy the day as it is. Think about just not drinking/drugging this day, and when tomorrow comes you will feel so happy and relieved that you have nothing to feel bad about. I promise.
Remember it is just another 24 Hours.
