It’s no secret that the holidays can stressful – but using alcohol to cope can make things worse.

If you’re having trouble cutting down or quitting your drinking habits, it may be time to get help. Signs of alcohol addiction can look like:
• Having a hard time cutting back
• Drinking more than you want to
• Not taking care of your health

If you notice any of these signs, you can get support at no cost. You can take control of your health and your alcohol use. Get tips to curb or quit drinking, and find out how to get help with SFHP: https://www.sfhp.org/curb-your-drinking

Feeling the “winter blues”? You may have Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

You’re not alone – roughly 10 million Americans experience SAD every year. As the days get shorter and there’s less sunlight, many people feel a drop in their energy and mood. If you are feeling low, numb, or hopeless, talk to your doctor about getting support.

Learn more about what SAD is and how SFHP can help: https://www.sfhp.org/seasonal-affective-disorder

The change of the seasons can affect your mood and can make it harder to manage your emotions. This can lead to Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) which is a type of depression. If you have SAD, you are not alone.

The holidays can be a joyful time, but they can also bring up emotions like grief and sadness. For many people, food is a way to cope with these feelings.

If you have diabetes, it’s important to notice how your feelings affect your eating habits. This doesn’t mean you need to give up your favorite foods—but you can fit them into your eating plan for diabetes.
