How to stay sober and healthy during holidays?
![How to stay sober and healthy during holidays?](https://jerrybanfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Revelations-Easter-Egg-Try-2.jpg)

I am grateful for the chance to enjoy my fifth consecutive winter holiday season sober and third eating mostly whole plant vegan following a *Whole Plant Food Based* diet.

## How to stay sober and healthy during holidays?

For *Thanksgiving,* we are taking a family trip starting *Tuesday* to a cabin for the week where I will be uploading videos instead of live streaming.

Yesterday I was reflecting on how much better the holidays have been sober. While the things we use to solve or forget our problems often lie to us and say that they will make things better, an honest look reveals that using anything to try to cope with life actually makes our lives and the lives of those around us worst overall.

Going to an *AA* meeting each day and practicing principles of honesty, kindness, love, faith, hope and charity in everything I do in my life helps me to remember I have the choice to be the way I want to be. I have the power to make a decision to stay sober and eat healthy for the holidays as long as I am willing to ask for help maintaining my decision and accept the help I receive, which then empowers me to help others.

Praying to stay sober each day is an easy way to ask for help while saying thank you throughout the day is an easy way to accept the help I receive.
