Sobriety doesn’t just change your habits—it invites you to heal. And one of the most transformative tools in that healing journey is reparenting. It’s the process of giving yourself the love, structure, and support you may not have received growing up—and it’s a powerful way to break free from self-sabotaging patterns.

In this episode of the Quit Drinking Alcohol Podcast, we explore how reparenting can help you meet unmet needs, develop healthier coping strategies, and nurture the version of yourself that’s learning to thrive without alcohol.

• What reparenting is and how it supports sobriety.
• Signs that your inner child may still be influencing your behaviors.
• Practical ways to begin showing up for yourself with consistency, compassion, and care.

I’ll also share insights from my own experience—how learning to reparent myself helped me feel safer, more grounded, and more empowered on my alcohol-free journey.

In Episode 32, we’ll explore how to navigate romantic relationships in sobriety and build healthy connections that support your recovery.
