Addiction 13: How to Survive the Holidays

We asked. You answered. This week, we hear from Last Day listeners about why the holidays are so hard, different, stressful, all of the adjectives. Stephanie chats with Dr. Neha Kumar, a clinical psychologist, about tips to get through the season and ways we can honor our loved ones who are no longer with us. Drug and alcohol counselor Wilma Hawkinson discusses being newly sober during the holidays and the importance of making new memories; Miss Ian Callaghan, Executive Director of San Francisco Drug Users Union, provides useful advice for those who have someone with active addiction in their lives; and comedian James Tison explains how boundaries keep holiday gatherings healthy. Plus, a very special letter from Santa.  Please note, Last Day contains strong language, mature themes, and may not be appropriate for all listeners.    San Francisco Drug Users' Union James Tison Vistaprint.com promo code LASTDAY Nativedeodorant.com promo code LASTDAY Mylola.com promo code LASTDAY Reset podcast Eleanor Health Boomtown podcast Transcriptions available shortly after air date at https://www.lemonadamedia.com/show/last-day/ Continue the conversation on your phone at https://flick.group/lastday.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
