Not anymore. In this bonus Christmas special, Sober Dave is joined by William Porter, author of Alcohol Explained, for a proper survival guide to the festive season without booze.</p><p>They cover how to handle Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, how to say no to a drink without over-explaining yourself, why family arguments go better when you're the sober one in the room, what to do if you're spending Christmas Day alone, how to fill the dead zone between Boxing Day and New Year, and how to actually make Dry January stick instead of imploding on February 1st. If you're sober curious, on day one, or just nervous about the holidays, this is the episode to keep on your phone.</p><p><br></p><p>You can also look at Williams website here <a href=\"https://alcoholexplained.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://alcoholexplained.com/</a></p><p><br></p><p>Thanks for all your support throughout the year, and I want to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.</p><p>Dave&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>If you want to connect with me via Instagram, you can find me on the instahandle @Soberdave&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/soberdave/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.instagram.com/soberdave/</a></p><p>or via my website&nbsp;<a href=\"https://davidwilsoncoaching.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://davidwilsoncoaching.com/</a></p><p>Provided below are links for services offering additional help and advice.</p><p><a href=\"https://www.drinkaware.co.uk/advice/alcohol-support-services\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.drinkaware.co.uk/advice/alcohol-support-services</a></p><p><a href=\"https://nacoa.org.uk/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://nacoa.org.uk/</a></p><p>Show producer- Daniella Attanasio-Martinez</p><p>Instagram - @TheDaniellaMartinez</p><p><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/thedaniellamartinez/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.instagram.com/thedaniellamartinez/</a></p><p><a href=\"http://www.instagram.com/grownuphustle/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.instagram.com/grownuphustle</a></p>","author_name":"David Wilson - Sober Coach"}
