Ginna G's Holiday Tip

The simplest and easiest tip that I received was to make a meeting no matter where I was. So, when we head out of town for the holidays, I call Intergroup to find out where the meetings are in my destination.

If you can't make a meeting, take phone numbers of sponsors or friends that you can call while on the road. Sometimes a peaceful feeling comes just knowing those numbers are in my pocket.

Also, take literature with you and read. And the best advice I can give for Holiday jitters is to remember, you are not alone.
