Episode notes
In this episode, Steph and Sarah talk about how you can support a sober friend or spouse. A lot of times when someone decides to get sober it can cause some awkwardness in relationships.
When you have a better understanding of what the person choosing a sober lifestyle is feeling it can really help both of you thrive.
Checking in and asking how sobriety is going really helps. It is all the sober person is fixated on, so having someone validate is huge.
If someone is questioning their relationship with alcohol, don't give them your opinion. Be a safe space and support how they are feeling.
Don't take it personal if they start to pull away from social interactions. It takes a lot of self discovery to get sober. We are learning who we are what we love.
