Experts say that it can be hard for relationships to work when one person continues to drink, while the other commits to sobriety and trying to heal from addiction.
Following reports that Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello were “growing apart,” before announcing this week that they planned to divorce, a source close to the couple reveals that their differences were reflected in the fact that he is dedicated to a sober lifestyle and she is not.l that Manganiello, 46, was “warned” about getting into a serious relationship with someone who is not actively sober.
“No one overcomes addiction, sobriety is something that you need to work at every day of your life,” Katrina Petersen, an addiction specialist in Dallas, Texas, told the Daily Mail. “It is a disease and when people close to you are exposing you to triggers. it is going to make the fight to stay sober that much harder.”
“They had differences in how their lives should go forward and it caused stress,” a second source told People. “This has been chipping away for a while.”
