Learn what to expect as your person navigates recovery, how to set healthy boundaries, and five powerful tips to protect your well-being along the way.

Whether you're a partner, sibling, friend, or parent, this episode will help you feel less alone and more empowered in your support role.

What you will learn in this episode:

  • What it means when someone quits drinking
  • 5 everyday things to expect in early sobriety

  2. Set clear, guilt-free boundaries
  3. Prioritize your emotional and mental well-being
