A lot of things are in our faces when we're really facing ourselves after we stop drinking, and there's far more to stopping drinking than just stopping drinking.
Picture this: you're navigating life with a partner whose drinking habits are wreaking havoc on your relationship. In this episode of Harm Reduction Radio - HAMS, host Kenneth Anderson sits down with Dr. Neill Neill, the author of 'Living with a Functioning Alcoholic: A Woman’s Survival Guide'. Dr. Neill sheds light on the often misunderstood dynamics of living with a spouse who has a drinking problem.
From debunking common myths about alcoholism to offering practical advice, this episode is packed with valuable insights for anyone facing this challenging situation. Dr. Neill shares that women often leave their partners after they stop drinking, highlighting the profound changes that sobriety can bring to a relationship. He also discusses the roles that partners might unconsciously adopt when living with a heavy drinker and addresses common questions like whether joining support groups such as Al-Anon is beneficial.
Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of what 'recovery' truly means and how alcoholism impacts marriages. Dr. Neill provides practical strategies for standing up for oneself and navigating legal avenues if necessary. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to better understand and cope with a spouse's drinking problem.
