In this episode, Dufflyn and I delve into the rich and complex topic of friendships and sobriety. Whether a friendship is for 'a reason, a season or a lifetime', (thanks for this, D), human beings are naturally wired to connect with others. Navigating the adjustments to our friendships and connections when we stop drinking can be challenging. Today, we discuss how to make friends, keep friends, and how to look after ourselves and our sobriety if things go wrong with friends. Boundaries, the importance of our connections, our attachments styles, how to let go, how to keep, new sober friends and old drinking friends and what happens if sober friends drink again and the surprising power of a frenemy... oof, it's a biggie!  So grab a cuppa and let's chat.
