Ep. 227: How Al-Anon Can Help If You’re Living With A Partner Who Drinks Problematically

How do you get and stay sober when you have a partner or family member who drinks problematically? 

While quitting drinking can be difficult for everyone, it can be especially difficult if you don’t have the support of your spouse, partner or the closest people in your life. 

And if someone in your family has a drinking problem that they’re not willing to address or admit to, it can make your home, emotional and social environment a minefield of triggers to navigate.

I asked Erinn O’Neill, a health and wellness coach and co-host of the 2 Sober Girls Podcast, to share her experience with Al-Anon and how it can support women if they’re dealing with a partner, family member or friend who is struggling with alcohol. 

Erinn stopped drinking 5 years ago by going to a 30-Day inpatient rehab program and attending 12-Step Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. She also attends Al-Anon. 

In our conversation Erinn also shares her own experience with going to a 30-Day rehab program and what you might want to consider when evaluating and selecting a rehab if that’s right for you.
