The Alcohol & Addiction Podcast

You want to be alcohol-free-as-fuck. You want it to feel light. Joyful. Liberating. But your relationship feels like a war zone. You flinch when they speak. You numb out when they touch you. And when things get tense, your PARTS whisper, “I deserve a drink.”   Sound familiar?   After 15 years of helping people live SELF-led lives, I’ve learned this truth: Your relationship with alcohol is often a mirror of your relationship with relationship itself.   In this episode, I unpack the three relationship models most STRIVERS get trapped in—and how each one quietly fuels alcohol use.   We’ll cover: – Why most of us are stuck in legacy burdens from our parents – How the “good guy” 50/50 model kills intimacy – What the 80/80 model looks like in real life—and why it starts with YOU – The real reason alcohol starts to look like a solution – What to do if your partner refuses to do their work   If you’re trying to be AFAF while your relationship’s a mess, this one’s for you.   Subscribe.
