Bonus Episode: Is it ADHD or Life? – Staying Sober Over Christmas and New Year

In this special bonus episode of Is it ADHD or Life, we break from our usual format and dive into a topic that can be particularly challenging during the festive season: staying sober over Christmas and New Year. Released a bit later than planned, (Due to Adam being scared) this episode addresses the struggles that many face when trying to maintain sobriety amid the holiday chaos. We share valuable insights, personal stories, and practical tips to help those in recovery navigate the pressures of holiday gatherings, celebrations, and temptations.

In just ten minutes, we cover essential strategies to stay sober during this time, including the importance of having a solid plan, creating a backup plan, and even designing an escape route for those moments when things get overwhelming. We also discuss the power of reaching out for support, whether through phone calls, text messages, or finding a sober community.

Listeners are encouraged to connect and share their own experiences as we explore how Adam copes with being sober over the holidays—and how much more fulfilling and rewarding it can be. Whether you're in recovery or just seeking advice, this episode is a quick yet impactful resource to help you stay on track during the holidays and beyond.

In Episode 6 of Is it ADHD or Life? – A Couple’s Perspective, titled “Is it ADHD or Just Christmas?”, Donna and Adam tackle the Christmas madness with their signature mix of humour and chaos. From the countdown to Christmas to the frantic hustle of gift shopping, routines getting flipped upside down, and the constant quest to find the garage key (because who hasn’t misplaced something#vital during the festive rush?), it’s a rollercoaster of ADHD challenges.

This episode dives into Christmas overwhelm, sensory overload (yes, oversensory is definitely a word now), and the dread of opening presents in front of people when you're wired differently. Plus, the pressure of gift-buying when your ADHD brain keeps forgetting the basics – where did I put the list?!

And let’s not forget Donna’s 5-minute moan about towels (yes, towels) and Adam’s gripe about Christmas lights. All this, plus the Good, Bad, and Ugly Christmas Special where we break down the best and worst of the festive season!

Tune in for laughs, relatable rants, and a sprinkle of holiday chaos!
