We hope that you have had a great Thanksgiving, taken advantage of all the sales, and are now ready to just enjoy the holiday season. Unfortunately, the holidays are usually most difficult times for those with behavioral health and substance abuse issues. Family gatherings can end up being less than pleasant. Highly emotional feelings and memories can lead to unwanted actions. It can even be a difficult time for those in recovery.
What to do? The key is to focus on that which brings each person true joy and spread that joy to those around you.
