93. Can Your Relationship Survive Without Alcohol?

Romance without alcohol might feel intimidating, especially in a world that insists we need a drink to bond, loosen up, or even feel sexy. But what if alcohol is actually keeping you from deeper, more authentic connection with your partner? In this episode, we’re diving into the myths and fears surrounding alcohol in existing romantic relationships—and how choosing an alcohol-free lifestyle could be the best thing for your love life.

This is Part 3 of our month-long series on love, relationships, and connection. Today, we’re focusing on how alcohol impacts existing romantic relationships and debunking the common fears that removing alcohol will remove intimacy. If you’ve ever worried that alcohol is the glue holding your relationship together, this episode is for you.

We’ll discuss:

• The fear that quitting drinking will harm your relationship (and why it’s often just a story we tell ourselves).

• How to differentiate between real connection and alcohol-fueled habits.

• Why vulnerability, creativity, and clear communication are essential in a thriving partnership.

• How to navigate resistance from your partner and set clear expectations.

• What happens when sobriety reveals deeper issues in your relationship—and why that clarity is a gift.
