How I quit alcohol
318. When your partner is still drinking and you're not.
•
One of the biggest challenges in early sobriety isn’t just saying no to alcohol, it can also be navigating life with a partner who still drinks. When you choose change, it can shift the dynamic between you. In this episode, I explore how to stay grounded in your decision, bring compassion to your partner’s experience, and find new ways to connect without alcohol becoming the centre of your relationship.
