The holidays are a time full of joy and celebration for most- but they can also be an especially challenging time for those struggling with alcoholism or addiction - or who have a loved one who is. Today, we are talking to members of different recovery communities here in Middle Tennessee to learn about 12 Step programs, local 12 Step resources and how they themselves are approaching staying healthy and connected during the holiday season. (In keeping with the tradition of anonymity in 12 Step programs, we will only be sharing our guests first names.) Join us!
