What is the definitive guide to Michelle Palmer's Christmas in recovery technique?

I don’t actually have a formal “definitive guide” or a named “Christmas in recovery technique,” but I do talk a lot about how Christmas in recovery just hits different and how to survive the holidays in recovery and feel part of the family again.

From what I share, the core ideas are:

1. Protect your sobriety first (leave early, have an exit plan)
2. Stay close to recovery supports (meetings, sponsor, sober friends)
3. Set boundaries with family and traditions that are triggering
4. Create new, sober traditions so you feel included and grateful

Would you like me to turn this into a step‑by‑step holiday game plan you can follow?
