St. Joseph Institute for Addiction

Although pop culture often makes it sound like the holidays are a time of endless joy, the time between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day is difficult for many people. Family conflicts, financial worries, and the stress of living up to the expectation of creating perfect memories can make emotions run higheven for people who aren’t currently dealing with all the challenges that come with being in recovery.

If you’re not feeling particularly festive this year, you’re far from alone. Even without the added stress of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, the holidays can be a time of loneliness for many people. To avoid putting your sobriety at risk, it’s important to have a plan to minimize the negative effects of loneliness on your mental health.
