The Christmas season can be tough for people in recovery. Routines that usually provide structure and support can get disrupted, social events may bring added pressure or temptation, and certain situations or interactions can stir up strong emotions. For those who are new to recovery, this time of year can feel especially overwhelming.

To help, Frontline has put together some helpful tips for navigating Christmas while staying grounded in your recovery:

The Christmas and New Year period can stir up a lot of emotions - hope, pressure, pride, sadness, excitement, and sometimes fear. For people in recovery, this time of year often feels like holding all these feelings at once. As the New Year approaches, remember this: you don’t need to transform yourself to deserve support, love, or hope. You don’t need a perfect plan. You don’t need to impress anyone, including yourself.

When Amy contacted Frontline Make Change in 2021, she was at a crossroads. Years of daily alcohol use and growing codeine dependence had taken a heavy toll on her health, her emotions, and her relationships.

At Frontline, we understand that recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why our team worked closely with Amy to create a personalised care plan - one that supported her immediate needs while helping her build a healthier, more hopeful future.
