Kim's Wake-Up Call: Facing Alcohol's Grip on Marriage

There's so much freedom on this side and it truly is such a gift to not drink, and I'm so grateful every day for it, and I encourage you to look within yourself and try to find that strength and reach out for help if you need it. So it is not easy, but it is so worth it.
Imagine the moment when a loved one tells you they're worried about your drinking. That's exactly what happened to Kim Kearns in this heartfelt episode of 'The Weekend Sober'. Kim recounts the eye-opening conversation with her husband that made her realize alcohol was more than just a weekend indulgence—it was a problem affecting her marriage and well-being.
For years, she tried to moderate her drinking to keep him happy, but the cycle of broken promises and painful discussions took its toll. In this raw and honest chat, Kim opens up about the excuses she made and the breaking point that finally led her to seek help. Her story is a powerful testament to the challenges of admitting there's an issue and the incredible freedom that comes with sobriety.
If you've ever questioned your own drinking habits or know someone who has, Kim's journey offers a beacon of hope and a reminder that change is possible.
