It seems that booze is a significant part of Christmas. Sad but true. Christmas is a time when people who haven't seen each other very often get together and drink. Many clients of mine have struggled with Christmas family gatherings simply because of alcohol. Liquor stores are open longer, advertise more and sell lots. So what can you do?
Well for starters limit what you buy and how much alcohol you have on hand. An overly full bar is open to abuse. Second, make an agreement with everyone in your group to stop drinking alcohol at a certain time and switch to herbal tea. You will sleep better and remember more! Third, take the time to write down the parts of your life that really matter to you; the people you love, goals you want to achieve, or even places you would like to see. Often when we are motivated to think about the meaningful pieces of our lives we quite naturally drink less.
Finally, I hope you enjoy your Christmas and take the time to slow down, walk lots and relax. Peace. TJS
