#137: Healing Relationships in Sobriety: Apologies, Boundaries, and Letting Go
Healing the relationships we damaged during addiction is one of the hardest — and most important — parts of sobriety. In this episode, we break down what it really looks like to repair trust, make meaningful apologies, set healthy boundaries, and accept that not every relationship is meant to come with us into this new chapter.
You’ll learn how to apologize without losing yourself, why some people still won’t trust the “new you” right away, how to protect your growth without becoming controlling, and how to let go of relationships that can’t grow with you. If you’ve ever wondered, “How do I fix what I broke?” or “Why do my relationships feel so different now that I’m sober?” — this episode gives you the clarity and direction you’ve been looking for.
