How to Handle a Partner Who Drinks and Drives: Practical Advice from Michelle Anderson

But your uncomfortable choice, the choices that you will make that might not sit so well with you at first, and in this particular situation, when it comes to drinking and driving, could save the life of the one you love and the innocent lives of the others who are sharing the road with somebody who, legally, should not be behind the wheel.
Worried about your partner getting behind the wheel after drinking? You're not alone. In this eye-opening episode of 'Love Over Addiction', host Michelle Anderson tackles the tough and all-too-common issue of drunk driving within relationships. Michelle begins by addressing the fears and frustrations many face when their loved ones refuse to hand over the keys, insisting they're 'fine' to drive. She shares real-life scenarios and common excuses, from spreading out drinks over the night to only consuming beer, not liquor.
But what can you do if they won't listen? Michelle offers practical advice on setting boundaries and enforcing consequences, even when it feels uncomfortable. She emphasizes the importance of taking action to protect not just your loved one, but also innocent people on the road. This might mean calling the police if necessary—a step that's difficult but could be life-saving. Throughout the episode, Michelle's empathetic approach shines through as she provides listeners with tools to navigate these tricky situations.
She also introduces her Love Over Boundaries program, designed to help women set firm boundaries and prioritize their well-being while dealing with partners who struggle with addiction. If you're grappling with the heart-wrenching dilemma of a partner who drinks and drives, this episode offers both practical strategies and emotional support. Michelle's insights are not just about coping but about making tough decisions that could ultimately save lives.
