Navigating Sober Life with a Drinking Partner: Kim and Evan's Story

If you are like that person who's feeling that frustration towards their partner or spouse, you know, because I certainly, if you hadn't have stopped drinking, I certainly would have been feeling a lot of animosity towards you.
Picture this: a stunning hotel in Aruba, the sun setting over the ocean, and a couple navigating the tricky waters of sobriety and drinking. In this episode of 'The Weekend Sober', Kim and Evan open up about their recent vacation and the unique dynamics it brought to light. Kim shares her experience of staying sober while Evan continues to drink, providing a candid look at the challenges and triumphs of such a situation.
They dive into a common dilemma many face: how do you deal with a spouse or partner who still drinks when you've chosen sobriety? From communication tips to finding individual hobbies, they offer practical advice drawn from their own journey. Kim emphasizes the importance of addressing any frustration you might feel towards your partner, suggesting that it's crucial to examine these feelings rather than letting them fester.
Tune in for an honest and heartfelt discussion that sheds light on maintaining sobriety in a mixed-drinking relationship.
