Ep. 72: What Happened In My Marriage When I Stopped Drinking

This is Part 2 of a conversation with my husband about what happened in our marriage once I stopped drinking. To listen to Part 1 of this conversation go to www.hellosomedaycoaching.com/71 Mike and I had been together for 18 years before I stopped drinking alcohol. Those years of dating, marrying and becoming parents together were filled with many happy memories of wine tasting weekends, pub crawls, boozy dinner parties and drinking vacations. Of course, not all of the memories of me drinking were positive, and after I stopped drinking certain things in our marriage had to change and evolve while others stayed the same. In this episode, Mike and I talk about our relationship, habits, rituals, parenting and connection to each other since I gave up alcohol and why he doesn’t mind that I’m not as wildly unpredictable as I used to be. We dive into the last five and a half years since I stopped drinking: early sobriety, where we are now, and where we are going. And we talk about why it’s important to separate the sadness we might feel about aging and the fact that we no longer have the same relationship we did when we were 25 years old from feelings of sadness and mourning that came up when I quit drinking.
