    EP 3- Sobriety Didn't Fix What Alcohol Broke

    When someone stops drinking, everyone expects things to get better.But for many loved ones, the pain doesn’t disappear just because the alcohol does. In this episode of Behind the Booze – The Impact on Loved Ones, we talk about why sobriety removes the substance but doesn’t automatically repair the damage — the broken trust, emotional fallout, financial stress, and nervous system impact that linger long after the drinking stops. This episode is for anyone who was told, “At least they’re sober now,” while still quietly carrying the aftermath.

    If you loved an alcoholic and don’t recognize yourself anymore, this episode is for you. In this first episode of Behind the Booze, we talk about the part no one explains — how loving someone with alcoholism quietly changes you. The confusion, the hyper-vigilance, the exhaustion, and the self-doubt that can linger long after the chaos stops. This isn’t about fixing them or recovery timelines. It’s about understanding what happened to you — and why your reactions make sense.
