In a perfect world, when we decide to start our recovery journey, everyone around us will be understanding and supportive of our journey.
Although you will find that many people are, we will often have people who simply are not.
Maybe it is the family member who is constantly pointing out your past mistakes, the friend who keeps insisting that “you can have just one”, or co-workers who keep trying to get you to go to happy hour with them after you told them you don’t want to be around alcohol yet.
Although we can not control how other people act, there are steps we can take that will help us navigate what to do when we do not feel supported by those closest to us. And that is what this episode is about.
