I was 7 years sober when I met my husband. I still needed to set boundaries with him when his drinking triggered me.
Briefly

My partner's drinking habits initially triggered me during my sobriety. However, through open communication, we actively built our relationship to foster mutual support.
We learned that it was crucial not to risk my sobriety for the sake of the relationship. If I feel triggered, we agreed to remove alcohol from our home.

The journey involved hard conversations but strengthened our bond, showing that navigating triggers can lead to a healthier, deeper connection.
