In early sobriety it's very important that you learn to love yourself first, and that's something I had never done before and something that I needed to do.
Picture this: you're newly sober, and your partner is still enjoying a drink. How do you navigate this delicate balance? In this episode of 'The Bubble Hour,' host Jean McCarthy, along with Amanda and Lisa, dive into the nitty-gritty of maintaining relationships during early sobriety. They share candid stories about the challenges that arise when one partner is sober, and the other isn't, or when both partners are on their recovery journeys but face different hurdles.
From dealing with resentment and anger to fostering mutual respect and healthy boundaries, this conversation is packed with relatable experiences and practical advice. Whether you're struggling with a partner who doesn't think your drinking was 'that bad' or both of you are working through your recoveries together, you'll find nuggets of wisdom here. The episode underscores the importance of self-love and seeking external support to maintain a healthy relationship.
It's a heartfelt and honest discussion that offers valuable insights for anyone navigating love and sobriety.
