Changing celebrations and ritual

Now write down ways of managing or renewing celebrations and ritual:

Avoidance, don’t participate

Limit contact, show up for half an hour

Attend with someone who can be your support

Hold the celebration at your home and exclude drug and alcohol use

Honor others through gifts, letters or cards as opposed to a drink or using drugs

Change the nature of the total celebration: go to a show, attend a concert, go to a sports event

Create new family rituals that are more positive and life enhancing

Brainstorm ideas to manage celebrations differently or create new rituals
Make a celebrations goal, part of goals for life, e.g. celebrating through creatively honoring others and myself.
