If stress starts to build, you don’t have to move through it alone.

Reaching out can help you slow down, breathe, and feel more supported in the moment.

Each number here connects you with someone who can listen and help you feel more grounded, no matter what time it is.

Save them where you can find them easily.

Comfort and support are always one call away.

The holidays can be a really meaningful time, but they can also bring extra stress, packed schedules, and emotions that feel a little heavier than usual. If this season feels overwhelming, you are not alone.

Taking care of yourself truly matters right now. Self care does not have to be big or complicated. Small moments can help you feel more grounded and steady.

• Step outside for a few slow breaths
• Take a quiet minute before you respond during stressful moments
• Give yourself permission to say no when you need to
• Reach out to someone who helps you feel supported
• Make time to rest, even if it is just a short pause in your day

You deserve to feel cared for during the holidays. Your well-being is important, and taking a moment for yourself is not selfish. It is healthy and needed.

If you want extra support or ideas for managing holiday stress, reach out to your counselor. We are here to help you feel supported, steady, and cared for through the season

Peer support adds connection to care. A lot of specialists use their own recovery experience to help others stay engaged and motivated.

Research shows that peer involvement increases treatment retention and overall well-being.

These sessions focus on goal setting, daily structure, and encouragement when challenges appear.

We have our Peer Support Group each Wednesday at 10:15am. Join us.

When you push emotions down, stress hormones rise, and cravings can follow.

Naming what you feel, even discomfort, helps the brain shift from reaction to regulation.

This season, notice how you feel before judging it.

If you need space to talk or reflect, journaling or counseling can help you stay balanced through the ups and downs.

Grounding techniques help the body calm its stress response and bring attention back to the present.

Practicing these small habits each day lowers cortisol, improves focus, and supports long-term recovery.

Start with one step when things feel intense, then add more as it becomes routine.

Healing happens in patterns, not moments.

Each time you take medication, attend a session, or pause before reacting, you strengthen the brain’s reward and focus pathways.

That’s how recovery takes root. Look back on this year and name one small action you repeated, that habit represents measurable change.

Consistency is what turns progress into permanence.

Asking for help is a sign of strength and a big part of recovery.

Your care team is here to listen, adjust your plan, or connect you to new support when you need it.

Reach out when something feels different, even if it's the slightest change.

Returning to work can bring purpose and stability, both important parts of recovery.

Protect time for what keeps you grounded, appointments, meals, and rest.

If your workload shifts or new stressors appear, talk with your counselor about small adjustments that keep your schedule balanced.

Ask about our vocational support resources.

Plateaus are a natural part of recovery.

As your brain adjusts to steady dopamine levels, progress may feel slower—but it’s actually a sign of stability forming.

Stay consistent with medication, counseling, and group sessions. These habits reinforce your brain’s new balance and build long-term recovery.

If you feel unsure about your progress, talk with your counselor about ways to refresh your goals or join a maintenance group this month.
