Hours a Day
My escape plan may never be
needed
but if I don’t
have one,
and suddenly
things go bad,
and I’m so
uncomfortable in my own skin
and I get so
stressed that a drink seems like a good idea,
then I’ll wish
I had made one while I had the time to plan.
Instead of
trying to figure it out in a crisis
We can Make an
escape plan
just in case we
get caught in an uncomfortable situation
around others
who are drinking or using.
But let’s talk
about our escape plans.
What does your
escape plan look like?
What is the first
thing in an escape plan? Know when you are in danger or when
you will be in danger.
What does a
dangerous situation look like to you?
Do you have an
example of when you used an exit plan?
Do you have ab
example of when you wish you had a plan?
Should you Take
your own car?
What if you are
with someone?
What if you are
alone?
How do you
notify your supports?
How does your
higher power come into play in this situation?
Do you put your
sponsor on notice?
Do you look
into where meetings are?
How about leave
and do service work?
Do you take
recovery tools with you, like a big book?
What other
tools do you use?
Have you ever used
an escape plan?
What
happened?

Some other tips to
stay safe during this holiday season
Tips to Stay
Sober During the Holidays, let’s talk about each of them
- Plan Your Days. Let your
sponsor or friend in recovery know where you will be, and have
their phone number with you in case you need
encouragement.
- Be Specific When Offered a
Drink. Instead of awkwardly telling the person that you’re a
recovering alcoholic, just say “Sure, a Coke/Sprite/water with
lemon would be great.”
- Outsmart the Disease. Stay
connected to sober people, places, and things. Don’t go to places
serving alcohol if you don’t need to.
- Take Extra Care of Yourself.
Remember to slow down and take some quiet time for yourself during
this busy time of year.
- Don’t Overindulge. Go easy on
the holiday sweets, exercise regularly, and don’t try to do too
much.
- Find New Ways to Celebrate
Create some new symbols and rituals that will help redefine a
joyful holiday season. You might host a holiday gathering for
special recovering friends and/or attend celebrations of your 12
Step group.
