Sobriety and Relationships: Lee Davey's Story on Rewired Radio

If you quit drinking but stay with the same people and the same life, you are much more likely to slip into another habit, bad habit or relapse, because you won't have the support system that allows you the time you need to solidify these new behaviors.
What happens when you quit drinking but your partner doesn't? This episode of Rewired Radio with Erica Spiegelman tackles the often-overlooked challenges of maintaining relationships while navigating sobriety. Erica is joined by Lee Davey, who candidly shares his journey of giving up alcohol in 2009 to save his marriage, only to face divorce soon after.
Lee's story is a raw exploration of why sobriety doesn't always fix everything and how the dynamics of relationships can shift dramatically when one partner stops drinking. Throughout their conversation, Erica and Lee emphasize the importance of having a robust support system—whether it's friends, family, or mentors—to help solidify new habits and behaviors. They delve into practical advice for making relationships work post-alcohol, such as considering trial separations and connecting with like-minded individuals through social media and blogs.
Lee also sheds light on the invisible belief systems surrounding alcohol and the importance of raising awareness and exposing the truth. This episode is packed with valuable insights and heartfelt advice for anyone struggling to balance sobriety and relationships. Tune in to hear Lee Davey's story and discover practical tips for navigating these complex dynamics.
