It can be really helpful to read up on relapse prevention between now and New Year, whether to extend a current sober run or to make a new commitment to getting sober, with a detailed plan for going about it. We don't need to reinvent the wheel; the mainstream recovery ideas work, if we really commit to them and put them into practice

“Mindfulness is simply being aware of what is happening right now without wishing it were different; enjoying the pleasant without holding on when it changes (which it will); being with the unpleasant without fearing it will always be this way (which it won’t)”.
