Ask yourself things like: Who will be at the party? Is there anyone there who will try to compromise my sobriety? Who can go with me that supports my sobriety? What will I say when someone offers me a drink? What will I order to drink while there? Where is the party? Is it an environment I can handle at this time? How will I get home in the case I feel uncomfortable and need to leave? What are possible relapse triggers? What is my escape plan if I feel a craving or urge come on?

184: Celebrating Your Sobriety and Recovery: How to Do It Without Relapsing.

I help people understand themselves better, make sense of their feelings, and learn from resentments and disappointments by using a heart-centered and holistic approach.  We all want to live an authentic and fulfilling life...sometimes we just need a little help. 
Two of our most basic needs are to be connected and to feel loved.   Without these, we feel a lack of purpose and isolated. When we feel alone, disconnected and insecure, we’re filled with negative thoughts and feelings of guilt and shame.  Left unattended and unvalidated, these feelings take root, growing into resentments and increasingly unhealthy behaviors.   If we lack positive feelings about ourselves it's difficult to trust, communicate and feel safe in the world.
I offer you a space to be listened to without judgment.  A place of safety. And, when you are ready, a new perspective backed by a toolbox full of good techniques to uniquely help you reconnect with your inner world and improve your relationships.   We tune into and check out your long held beliefs.  We quiet those unkind unconscious messages and turn up your self confidence by identifying and supporting your strengths.
