episode 693: 3 Women On How To Face Christmas Completely Sober
The festive period is supposed to be a time for gathering with friends and family to have fun and celebrate the end of the year, but it can also easily tip over into a time of great excess, especially when it comes to our alcohol consumption.
While many of us are able to have a few drinks and enjoy ourselves without any problems, for others it can be a crutch to help deal with difficult family relationships, and other end-of-year pressures.
The Quicky speaks to three women who've given up the grog for different reasons to find out how you can avoid temptation to go overboard this Christmas, stay sober and still have a great time.
