Sending a Message to Your Sober Self with Kate Taylor

The Sober Mom Life

NOTE

Courage to Voice Discomfort

Adopting a sober lifestyle can provoke complex emotions and dilemmas in relationships, particularly when one partner continues to drink. Asserting the need for change requires courage, and this can lead to feelings of strength and resolve. While supportive words from a partner can bolster confidence, underlying discomfort may arise from witnessing the partner's continued alcohol consumption. The challenge lies in communicating feelings of discomfort without ultimatums, emphasizing the importance of honest dialogue regarding one's own boundaries and fears related to alcohol. This honesty may involve expressing feelings of repulsion towards alcohol and the implications it has on intimacy and safety, highlighting the significance of addressing such issues openly to maintain healthy relationships.
