It's so far off my radar drinking that it just doesn't even enter my head that it doesn't bother me one little bit.
What happens to your relationship when you quit drinking? In this episode, host Danni Carr catches up with graduates from the 'How I Quit Alcohol' program to explore this very question. Some found that sobriety strengthened their bonds, while others faced tough decisions and breakups. It's a raw and honest look at how giving up alcohol can shake up your love life.
The grads talk about everything from newfound compassion for partners who miss their drinking buddy to the necessity of setting boundaries if one partner continues to drink heavily. There's even a candid discussion on how sobriety can change your sex life and deepen mutual understanding. James McDonald, husband of graduate Michelle, also joins in to share how his wife's sobriety impacted him.
Whether you're in a relationship or single, this episode offers a heartfelt glimpse into the real-life effects of choosing sobriety.
