Sobriety and the holidays

Any tips on what people do for activities during holidays to maintain? Holidays can be especially lonely for some.

You can if you want still do the same things you have always done.
Just don’t drink. If you want it enough you can do it!
Or just stay in like I did last year. No parties, no going to the pub. Didn’t leave my house the whole of the holidays.

Volunteer to serve meals to others who need them. Try a church, salvation army, homeless shelter or travel somewhere new you have never been.

Thank you all very much! I am going to volunteer and hit up meetings even more as the holidays approach. Volunteering is an excellent idea!
