Living sober as a couple requires more than giving up alcohol—it demands rebuilding trust, repairing boundaries, and designing a home life that supports recovery every single day. Sober Together at Home is a step-by-step guide for partners committed to healing not only individually, but as a household. Written with the authority of a therapist and the insight of lived recovery experience, this book combines clinical strategies with practical routines that couples can implement immediately.

Across thirty chapters, it addresses the real-world challenges couples face when alcohol has shaped their history. From drafting a written pact and mapping household triggers to rebuilding intimacy and navigating family pressures, each chapter offers concrete strategies rooted in accountability and compassion. Couples will learn how to conduct morning check-ins, practice nightly debriefs, set financial agreements, and replace drinking rituals with meaningful alternatives. More advanced chapters provide guidance for stress-testing the household during holidays, repairing subtle manipulations that sabotage trust, and developing a shared sober identity that extends beyond the home into work, friendships, and community life.

What makes this book unique is its dual focus: it speaks to the emotional scars of addiction while offering structured systems that prevent relapse and strengthen partnership. It refuses fluff, instead delivering clarity, honesty, and tested practices for couples serious about lasting change.

Whether you are beginning recovery together or years into sobriety seeking deeper stability, Sober Together at Home equips you with the tools to transform your relationship from fragile survival to resilient partnership. Sobriety is not only possible—it can become the foundation of a stronger, more connected life.
