Be the Perfect Holiday Host(ess)!

Make sure all guests feel welcome at your holiday party. Support your sober friends by offering non-alcoholic beverages and keeping the focus on the holiday, not the alcohol. Don't take it personally if a friend decides to check out early. Make sure they have a plan to stay safe, whether that's a support group they can attend in person or online, or an alternative activity. They may just want to hang out at home.
