Summary

Today we're talking about living with a partner who drinks when you're sober.    Maybe your husband or partner is your drinking buddy and going to a bar or sharing drinks at the end of the day is the way you connect and celebrate.     Maybe your partner loves drinking too and is resistant to getting the alcohol out of the house.    Or perhaps your partner tells you that you “don’t really have a problem”, “are being too hard on yourself” or “should just cut back a bit”.    Maybe you don’t want your partner to know how worried you are about your drinking so you want to do this on your own and under the radar.    Or perhaps you’ve told your partner that you’re going to take a break from drinking before and then thrown in the towel on Day 5 or Week 2. You might be afraid to tell them you’re trying again because you’re worried you’re just going to fail.    Whatever your relationship with your partner is like, if you both drink it’s often deeply intertwined with alcohol.    For show notes and to access resources mentioned in the episode, head to www.hellosomedaycoaching.com/107   Ready to drink less + live more?   Take my FREE MASTERCLASS on Five Secrets To Taking a Break From Drinking Sign up here to save your seat: https://hellosomedaycoaching.com/class    If you’re ready to change your relationship with alcohol join The Sobriety Starter Kit.  It's my signature sober coaching course for busy women to help you drink less + live more.  To enroll go to www.sobrietystarterkit.com.

But it wasn't that long ago that I was anxious, overwhelmed, and drinking a bottle

of wine a night to unwind. I thought that wine was the glue, holding my life together,

helping me cope with my kids, my stressful job, and my busy life. I didn't realize that my love

affair with drinking was making me more anxious and less able to manage
