How To Reclaim Your Relationship When One Partner Gets Sober

Alcoholic Spouse Choosing to get sober can be one of the scariest, wildest, and most beautiful decisions you ever make. But what about the people you share your life with and, possibly, shared drinks with? Those that held your hair while you were sick, forgave you for the awful things you said and did, who babysat you, tucked you in, and lied to your family and friends to protect you. Addiction doesn't only affect the alcoholic, for better or worse. It also profoundly affects the lives of the people closest to you.
