Hearth and home: Redefining relationships with loved ones once you’ve ditched alcohol

Steph Trafford | June 2023 |

For week twelve of Sober Spring. Community Champion, Stephanie Trafford, catches up with us on redefining parental and other important relationships when taking a longer break from alcohol.

1. How did you notice relationships change when you decided to stop drinking?

2. How have your family and friends reacted to the changes you’ve made? Has it always been positive? How did you get through any difficult moments? 

3. Is there an activity you enjoy doing more with your loved ones now you’re more in control of your drinking?  

4. When you decided to stop drinking, tell us about a specific example where you felt you were turning over a new leaf in your life or starting something new? 

5. At what point did you feel like you were truly ‘owning’ your sober life? Please tell us more about that.
