One of the most difficult things to come to terms with when we manage to achieve sobriety, is the damage that drinking has done to our relationships. From our friends and family’s irritation at the mildly embarrassing late night drunken phone calls that we often feel compelled to make in the early days, to more serious incidents of carnage and devastation in our darkest days of full-blown addiction, those closest to us are there throughout our journey with alcohol and tend to bear the brunt of the impact that alcohol has on our behaviour.

Alcohol eventually took everything and everyone that I held dear from me, and the fear of sobering up and having to face what I had done to them was one of the things that kept me – and many people like me – drinking.

But I did get sober and I did repair my relationships, and I want you to know that you can too.

Once you are sober, it’s time to move on from your old life and to reconnect with the people that you care about and from whom you seek forgiveness. Here are some tips which I found helpful in rebuilding the relationships with those I love.
