The holidays can be stressful and full of temptation for people living with addictions.
Thunder Bay’s Counselling Service spokesperson Carol Lee Thompson has these tips if you are tempted at a holiday party, like planning to have non-alcoholic drinks. “No one needs to know what you have in your hand. Have an exit plan or if there is a co-worker or partner you can say this is too much, let’s just go.”
The Counselling spokesperson also suggests being the designated driver. Thompson also reminds you to take time for yourself so you can de-stress and enjoy the holidays.
