In this Christmas Day special, members of the Better Together community come together to share honest reflections on what this time of year is like in recovery. We talk about navigating family, managing overwhelm, finding self-compassion and letting go of expectations.

This episode was recorded in the hope of offering a sense of company and connection on Christmas Day — wherever you’re listening from.

Better Together is here 365 days a year. If you’d like to join the community, you can find out more and become a member at better-together.ie.
