Healing a Broken Heart Without Alcohol

Heartbreak can feel unbearable, especially on St. Valentine’s Day, when love is everywhere—except where you need it most. If you're navigating loss, loneliness, or the end of a relationship, the urge to numb the pain with alcohol can be overwhelming. But there’s a better way.

In this episode of The Alcohol Recovery Show, we explore how to heal a broken heart without alcohol. We’ll discuss the emotional and physical impact of heartbreak, practical recovery strategies, and the power of mindfulness—drawing from Mindfulness for Alcohol Recovery by Lewis David and Antonia Ryan.
