Merry Christmas from Sober Brains.  It is never a wrong time to seek help! 

There are many potential reasons someone might decide to get sober for Christmas. Here are a few possible reasons:

1. Health: Sobriety can have numerous health benefits, including improved mental and physical well-being, better sleep, and a lower risk of developing substance abuse disorders or other health problems.
2. Relationships: Alcohol can sometimes lead to conflict or strained relationships, particularly during the holidays when emotions may run high. Sobriety can help you better connect with loved ones and have more meaningful and positive interactions.
3. Personal growth: Getting sober can be a challenging but rewarding process that can help you grow and develop new skills and habits.
4. Financial: Alcohol can be expensive, and getting sober can help you save money that you can use for other things, such as gifts or experiences.

Ultimately, the decision to get sober is personal and should be based on what is best for you and your needs. If you’re considering getting sober, it might be helpful to talk with a trusted friend, family member, or healthcare professional about your thoughts and feelings.

At Sober Brains, we believe Neurofeedback is an important tool in an addiction recovery journey.  Neurofeedback is a type of therapy involving brainwave activity to help individuals learn to self-regulate their mental and emotional states. It is sometimes used to help people with substance abuse disorders or addiction to improve their ability to manage cravings and reduce their risk of relapse.

During neurofeedback therapy, individuals are typically seated in a comfortable chair and asked to relax while wearing a cap or other device that measures their brainwave activity. This activity is displayed on a screen in real-time. Individuals are asked to try to alter their brainwave patterns through techniques such as deep breathing, visualization, or other relaxation techniques.

At Sober Brains, we teach you how to do neurofeedback at home saving you valuable time!

Some studies have suggested that neurofeedback may be effective at helping people with substance abuse disorders to reduce cravings and improve their ability to manage stress and negative emotions, which can be key factors in maintaining sobriety.  It is important to note that neurofeedback should not be used as a standalone treatment for substance abuse disorders but as a supplement to other evidence-based therapies such as counseling or medication.  Contact us today for help and support!
