When you can't not drink, I feel like there's other issues that you're not dealing with absolutely, and I try and bring that point home to our 12-year-old, because not that she's on the precipice, but she well yeah, she's on the precipice of teenage dumb, being a teenager soon enough, where this could creep into her life, and I just want her to know the abuse of it comes from not dealing with issues in your life.
Picture this: you've known your partner since middle school, and now you're navigating life together without alcohol. That's the heart of this episode of 'The Weekend Sober', where Catherine sits down with her husband, Ted, for a heart-to-heart chat. They open up about how sobriety has reshaped their marriage and social life. Ted shares his initial anxiety about social situations without the 'shutoff valve' of alcohol and how he's adapted over time.
The couple reminisces about their younger years, where alcohol was a constant in their friend group, and how they've now embraced healthier activities. Catherine also touches on the importance of addressing underlying issues and being supportive, especially as they prepare their 12-year-old daughter for adolescence in a sober household. This episode offers a genuine look at the ups and downs of living alcohol-free within a long-term relationship.
It's a must-listen for anyone curious about the impact of sobriety on marriage and family life.
