In this episode, Steph and Sarah talk about how you can support a sober friend or spouse. A lot of times when someone decides to get sober it can cause some awkwardness in relationships.

When you have a better understanding of what the person choosing a sober lifestyle is feeling it can really help both of you thrive.

• Checking in and asking how sobriety is going really helps. It is all the sober person is fixated on, so having someone validate is huge.
• If someone is questioning their relationship with alcohol, don't give them your opinion. Be a safe space and support how they are feeling.
• Don't take it personal if they start to pull away from social interactions. It takes a lot of self discovery to get sober. We are learning who we are what we love.
