Sober Firsts: Going Home to a House That Still Drinks
About this episode
The episode discusses the challenges of returning home after detox while navigating family dynamics and the presence of alcohol.
Who says you can’t go home again? You can. Sometimes it’s a choice, and sometimes it’s not. Lisa went home to her family straight out of detox and immediately faced the reality that she might have left the world of drinking, but it hadn’t left her. Anna learned what can happen when a family member asks if you mind if they drink, you say you do and they get mad. The ladies also veer into discussing going home to an apartment that had previously been a den of inequity and starting fresh (and clean).
