The holiday time can have a triggering effect on alcoholics who are trying to recover from their addiction. Why? Because, while the holiday season for some is reconnecting with friends, going out with family, partying in office etc., for the alcoholics it is time to engage in drinking on the pretext of celebration. So, it gets difficult for an addict to remain sober as this time of year is generally filled with heavy drinking and the active alcoholics who are trying to remain sober may fall into a relapse.
