We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness....
Enjoy the freedom of a sober & sane 4th of July!!
Recovery Corner with Judy – 4th of July
Creating a safety plan is essential for us to stay sober during the holiday. Just because I can go around alcohol and not drink, does not mean I should. Every one of us has a different story of alcoholism or addiction, so please be careful when testing your “willpower”.
Remember that it is okay to feel uncomfortable around others who are drinking, and openly say so. If you decide to go somewhere where alcohol is being served, make sure to stay in touch with your inner self the entire time. At the first hint of uneasy feelings or thoughts (only you and your higher power will know when that is), politely excuse yourself and leave.
Remember that one was one too many, and 1,000 was never enough. I believe this to be the case for all recovering addicts and alcoholics, so if you have to plan ahead this 4th of July to protect your sobriety, do so. There are BBQ’s and events that will not have alcohol all over Eugene. Be safe, be smart, and do not go into a risky situation alone. We can easily be our own worst enemy when left to do so. Have a fun, safe, and sober 4th of July!!!!
Judy is a strong member of the recovering community and enjoys giving back to others what was so freely given to her.
