Struggling over the holiday period? Or are you just struggling period? Recovery doesn’t have to be a struggle. So why do so many of us struggle?

Have you reached out for help?
Have you reached out for help again when you didn’t get the help you needed?
Have you been to a recovery meeting? 12 Steps, SMART Recovery, Refuge Recovery, 8 Step Recovery? There is so much out there to choose from.
Are you being honest?
Or are you in DENIAL (Don’t Even Notice I am Lying ?)

No need to be on your own and isolate on Xmas day, Come and join me in a Xmas day 8 Step Recovery meeting 12:30pm Eastern Time, 5:30pm UK time.

And if Xmas day isn’t enough, or you are wanting new tools to help you in 2020, join me in the online 28-day Mindfulness-Based Addiction Recovery Course beginning January 20th. This course is hosted by Wildmind and has been accredited by the British Association of Mindfulness BAMBA. Details here

Thank you! I will definitely plan to be on the X-mas meeting at 12:30. I also plan to sign up for the 28 day course.

  Hi, Laura.
  
  You might want to note that this post is from five years ago. Vimalasara may be running a gathering on Dec 25, but I don't know if she is.
  
  All the best,
