If drinking has been a big part of that, you making the decision to stop drinking is going to have a big impact on you and, I think, slightly different from what you said about the family getting used to it.
Family can be both a source of support and a challenge when you're trying to stay sober. In this episode of Soberful, hosts Veronica Valli and Chip Somers dive into the complexities of dealing with family members while maintaining sobriety. Ever had a family member who just doesn't get why you've quit drinking? Veronica and Chip tackle this head-on, offering practical advice for setting boundaries and managing expectations.
They share personal stories and tips on how to handle partners who still drink and how to navigate social situations where alcohol is present. The duo also highlights the importance of self-awareness and using tools like the Johari window model to better understand your own needs and reactions. This episode is packed with actionable insights and heartfelt advice, making it a must-listen for anyone dealing with family dynamics in their sobriety journey.
