We discuss green flags she saw with her now husband, moving for a partner, making new friends when you move to a new place, being sober at your wedding. how her and her husband split finances, how to create financial freedom, how to bring up sobriety to future kids, what happens after you get sober, and more. This episode starts with a solo where I discuss how to become a high value person, integrating with SO’s friend group, expectations vs reality being married, if opposites attract or birds of a feather flock together, how to express needs and expectations without sounding bitchy, and how to know what fights are worth working through.

0:06.5	Hey guys, welcome back to We Met A Doc Me. I am so excited for this episode. It is with my
0:12.0	dear friend Sarah Levy. She is just wonderful and such a breath of fresh air. We got very real
0:19.6	and just talked about her relationship. We talked about finances. We talked about dating sober,
0:24.9	life after you get sober. She has a new book out called Drinking Games and it is the perfect
0:32.1	read if you're sober curious. If you just want to read a good book written by someone with a lot
0:38.2	of talent. So check out her book before we get into that. We're going to do I'm going to do a
0:43.7	little solo part possibly a little longer because I did cut out some stuff from the episode that
