Not everyone in our life will love the sober version of us, especially when our “no” forces other people to look at their own habits. We talk about why this pushback happens, how to set boundaries without a speech, and how to let go of relationships that only worked when we were drinking.
• why some people want the old version back
• how sobriety can feel like you become “the problem”
• the subtle ways pressure shows up at parties and events
• setting boundaries even when it feels uncomfortable
• reframing boundaries as protecting your peace
• simple phrases to shut down pushy questions
• outgrowing environments and relationships as part of growth
• finding support through AA, Al-Anon, and community
On my website, marcybackhusmedia.com. I have a link to Al Anon and I have a link to AA. If you're wondering, if you're seeking, if you are someone supporting someone, click those links, get yourself some help
