You decided you’d drink less this holiday season.

 

Let’s make that decision easier to follow through on.

 

Maybe you’re tired of drinking more than you meant to. Maybe you want better mornings. Or maybe you want to enjoy the holidays without alcohol being such a big part of them.

​

Then come the invitations, the family dynamics, the refilled glasses, and the evenings when a drink sounds like the easiest way to switch off.​

​

Drink less, take a break, or skip alcohol altogether. You don’t have to decide forever.

​

Watch the replay of my workshop. Take a scenario through the steps, come out with a plan and "survival" strategy for your next event. The process works on any event you may have r situation that feels like it may be tricky.

​

What would you like to do differently this year?

 

Go to dinner without spending the evening negotiating with yourself about another glass.

Answer “Why aren’t you drinking?” without explaining your whole life.

Come home from a difficult day with another way to unwind.

Wake up without wondering why you drank more than you planned.

That’s what we’ll work on, using the situations happening in your life each week.

​​

​

​

Bring the moment that usually gets you.

 

The family gathering where someone always makes a comment.

The friend who keeps topping off your glass.

​

The evening when you’re tired, irritated, and done taking care of everyone.

​

Together, we’ll work out:

• What sets the pattern in motion: stress, habit, social pressure, or wanting relief.

• What to do when you want a drink: practical ways to pause and respond to the urge.

• What to say to other people: responses you can use without apologizing or overexplaining.

• How to make gatherings easier: decide what you’ll drink, what boundaries you need, and when you’ll leave.

• How to keep going after a difficult night: learn from it without giving up on what you wanted.

​

You’ll have a plan to try, a place to talk through what happened, and another opportunity to adjust it.

​​

​ONE HOUR COME OUT WITH A PLAN​

 

Reading advice is one thing. Using it at a crowded table or at the end of an exhausting day is another.​

A note from Pam

I know this territory professionally and personally.

I’ve spent 18 years working in substance use counseling,

and I’ve also walked the path of changing my own relationship with alcohol.

​

I created this workshop because deciding to drink differently can leave you with

a lot of moments that can catch you off guard.

 

What do I say? What do I do instead?

How do I handle the people who liked things the way they were?

We can work through those questions together, in advance so you are prepared.

​

With care,
Pam

A few questions you might have

 

Do I have to stop want to stop drinking completely?

No. You can work toward drinking less, taking a break, or

spending the holidays without alcohol.

 

What if I drink even after the plan I made?

You can bring that experience to the group. Join us in weekly sessions

to go over what worked and what didnt and set yourself up for success the next time. 

You don’t have to meet your goal every week to belong in the group.

 

Do I have to talk?

Nope, this is an on demand recorded session I already condutced live. Just follow along and you will leave with a plan that you can implement tonight!

 

Is this therapy?

No. This is a coaching, support, and education workshop. It does not provide substance use treatment or medical withdrawal support. If you experience withdrawal symptoms when you cut back, speak to your doctor before you do again.

​

 

Make room for a different kind of holiday season.

 

Less time debating the next drink. More confidence in your choices. Help with the moments that make change difficult.
