"The holiday season has begun," says our host, Tony Moore, Moore & Associates. "The recovery community tends to be forgotten during this time."

"You have to maintain awareness of people around you," Tony continues. He discusses the 4 P's (from his book). He also talks about maintaining an awareness of people around you, friends, family, and co-workers who may not be as far along on the recovery trail as yourself. You can perform positive habits from volunteering to breathing exercises. (TV shows can even be negative so it's good to not watch shows that may trigger substance abuse.)

Tony gives time-tested advice that anyone who is recovering and dreading the holidays needs to hear. It's both educational and encouraging. If you are concerned about the holidays, please listen to this podcast.
