Lori Massicot, The Midlife Sobriety Coach. She has blonde hair and green eyes and is sitting looking at the camera smiling wearing a purple jacket and navy tshirt. — I see you. You’re working hard on not drinking. I’m proud of you! Keep going.

In this episode, I share a heartfelt message on staying alcohol-free during the holidays.

I know it's not an easy thing to do, which makes you a bada** in my eyes.

From my personal experience of quitting drinking in 2013, I discuss how to handle holiday triggers, create new associations, and honor your choice to stay alcohol-free. Whether this is your first sober holiday or you're beyond that, you'll learn practical strategies to navigate celebrations while staying true to yourself.

Key topics covered:

Understanding and preparing for holiday triggers
Creating a simple plan to manage challenging moments
The importance of self-protection and avoiding unnecessary testing
How to treat yourself and create new holiday traditions
Building self-pride and staying committed to your choice

You deserve to stay alcohol-free - not just for the holidays, but for yourself and why you want to be alcohol-free.

I'm with you.

I'm proud of you!
