“The holidays break your routine. Sometimes, you’re forced to spend time with family you rarely see and don’t always get along with. Or maybe you’re alone when everyone else is with family. Or you are off from work, with more time to think troubling thoughts. Or you are at work and can’t be with those you love.Or you are thrust into party situations that tempt your demons. Or you aren’t invited to those tempting parties. In so many ways, the holidays can throw you off your game — and that can shake you.”
