Christmas can be a difficult time — especially if you’re sober, trying to stay sober, or questioning your relationship with alcohol.

In this episode, I talk honestly about heading into Christmas without drinking — the triggers, the pressure, the memories, and the temptation — but also the unexpected peace that comes with being present.

I reflect on what sobriety has given me this year: clarity, gratitude, deeper connections, and the ability to actually remember the moments that matter.

This episode is for anyone navigating addiction recovery, mental health challenges, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the holidays.

You’re not alone. You don’t need to escape this life — you’re allowed to live it.
