    When your Partner Drinks... Couples Therapist Zach Brittle
    2025/12/13
    My guest this week is couples therapist Zach Brittle who is based in Seattle I was able to pick his brain about that very common question we hear from some of our members – How can I quit when my partner drinks? In this episode:- Zach's drinking escalated during COVID lockdown—he felt depressed and family relationships were under strain.He reached that point that many of us get to – his “not this" moment as we call it in Tribe SoberHe approached a sober friend, Dave, who became his sponsor and helped him to work the 12 stepsHe only attended a few in-person AA meetings but actually found a South African online meeting that became his home group – so he has a soft spot for us here in SAHe quit alcohol quickly and without too much trouble, but deeper emotional recovery took much longer.Zach stressed the difference between quitting drinking and being sober.His marriage had involved heavy shared drinking and his wife had been his drinking buddyBut after he got sober, his wife began to drink more and had her own recovery journey to tackleTheir 15-year-old daughter also “spun out” as the family system recalibratedFamily members are now all healthy and connectedI loved Zach's analogy as a family being like a child mobile – hold one piece steady and the other pieces wobble – how trueZach had some great advice for partners struggling with a drinker who won’t change: Take care of yourself first — get grounded and stable.Build your “healthy place” and invite your partner into it.You can’t decide their behaviour, but you can decide what works for you.Early sobriety is fragile — ignore comments like “you’re boring.” Focus on your own survival. Zach's Top Benefits of Sobriety Feels like an adult for the first time in his life.Sleep transformed — falls asleep naturally, sleeps through, wakes refreshed.Clear mind & emotional stability — no hedging, hiding, or dodging.Better marriage — calmer, more intimate, more predictable.Massive financial savings — used to spend ~$12k/year on bar tabs. Advice for Anyone Struggling Ask yourself: “Am I ready?”If yes, do the work: find community, a sponsor, a meeting, a book, a mentor.The work isn’t quitting alcohol — it’s understanding yourself and building emotional sobriety. Zach’s Podcast & Work Hosts Marriage Therapy Radio — weekly episodes with real couples.Has published books and has a new one coming in 2027 on relational recovery.Works mostly in person in Seattle but does some online work.Zach Brittle is his website More Info Tribe Sober subscription membership – you can join up HERE.

  • Slender for Life with Dr Ginny

    Slender for Life with Dr Ginny
    2025/11/29

    My guest this week is a psychotherapist Dr Ginny who has had her own struggles with alcohol and food addiction.

    • Dr Ginny had a long history of drinking - since college
    • Like many of us she was “High-functioning” — working as a director for a non profit
    • Drinking + emotional eating became her escape
    • Hit crisis point at 55: inflammation, pre-diabetic, struggling to walk
    • Realised she was heading toward chronic illness — and possibly a nursing home
    🍷 Drinking & Denial
    • Told herself it was “self-care”
    • Rationalised with rules (“only weekends”, “never a bottle... then more”)
    • Depended on wine to soothe stress, numb emotions
    • Felt ashamed, trapped, out of alignment with her values
    • Emotional crash cycle: regret → resolve → repeat

    “She would say every morning, ‘I won’t do it tonight,’ and by the end of the day I wanted it again.”

    💡 Turning Point
    • Came when she worked in a nursing-home and many patients her age
    • Realised alcohol + ultra-processed food = metabolic decline
    • Fear of losing mobility + independence
    • Began exploring science-based nutrition and alcohol-free living
    • Joined Annie Grace’s work early & became a coach
    🥗 Healing Through Nutrition
    • Quit drinking and ultra-processed foods together
    • Focus on abundant, nutritious whole foods
    • Massive improvement in:
      • Inflammation
      • Sleep
      • Weight (lost 60 lbs naturally)
      • Pre-diabetes reversed
      • Mental clarity + emotional calm
    📚 Her Program

    Slender for Good

    • Science-based nutrition & mindset work
    • Focus on adding nourishment, not restriction
    • Works especially well for women in midlife & recovery
    • Book: Slender for Good After 50
    🌐 Where to Find Her
    • Website: slenderforgood.com
    • Works with clients worldwide via Zoom

    If Dr Ginny inspired you to avoid that metabolic decline she spoke of then why not buy her book “Slender for Good” and sign up for a Tribe Sober membership.

    On December 1st we open our Annual Fundraiser for Earthchild – make a small donation to this very good cause and in exchange you’ll get a month of support.
