We could have produced this episode in any month of the year: problematic substance use can be triggered by any number of things and at any time. But in December, as one year is poised to give way to another, the stressors seem to mount: finances, holiday expectations, extended family dynamics, and what seems to be a never-ending pandemic.

We reached out to three people ��� all with personal experiences with recovery ��� to talk about strategies for making it safely to 2022 with your wellbeing intact.��
