 Offer support to clients and newcomers during the holidays

This is a reference card for handling Holiday Stress situations by using 12 Step best practices. You will want to hand them out to your in-house clients, outpatients, and newcomers in the fellowships to guide them during the Holidays.

They are standard business card size which you can print on Avery templates (we used #3327), your own card stock, or even plain paper. Cut out, then handout to clients and friends in the program during the holidays. Most business card stock will work with this design (Avery numbers 3327, 5371, 5376, and 5377 work great). You simply print on both sides. Since each printer has it own settings, you will need to experiment to see if you turn paper over, upside down, or simply rotate it to print properly so the sides match.

Have your clients and newcomers fill out the back of the card with their support numbers, then carry the card with them for the holiday months from the end of October to January 2nd. These become part of they holiday stress management.practices to stay clean and sober.
