We discuss how the breaking of daily/weekly routines during the holidays, while offering a nice break from the nine-to-five grind, also presents dangers that can lead to temptation and set you back.   Know more about Sathiya's work: Join Deep Clean Inner Circle - The Brotherhood You Neeed (+ get coached by Sathiya) For Less Than $2/day Submit Your Questions (Anonymously) To Be Answered On The Podcast Get A Free Copy of The Last Relapse, Your Blueprint For Recovery Watch Sathiya on Youtube For More Content Like This Chapters:  (00:00) Introduction: Christmas—The most wonderful, yet most triggering, time of the year.
