The holidays can be a scary time when your partner’s an addict or alcoholic. Instead of visions of sugar plums, you may be having nightmares of:

• parties with alcohol
• DUI’s
• broken promises
• being embarrassed by your partner
• ruined holidays of the past
• receiving gifts of alcohol
• relapse
• strained family relationships
• stress over finances, long to-do lists

The most important thing to remember this year is that you have choices and don’t have to let your partner’s addiction ruin another holiday. I know it’s not easy, but you can choose to do something different this year. I put together my 4 best strategies for coping with an addicted partner in an article I wrote for The Good Men Project. Please read the full article over on The Good Men Project.

Have a safe and happy holiday season!
