When you've got elephants in the room in your relationship or wherever, it's much harder to ignore them when we're sober, and learning the tools to be able to deal with that is going to help enormously, because we drink on our emotions.
Ever feel like there’s an elephant in the room, but you just can’t bring yourself to address it? In this eye-opening episode of 'Soberful', hosts Veronica Valli and Chip Somers dig into those difficult conversations we often avoid, especially in the context of sobriety. They explore how these unspoken issues, like the decline in intimacy, differing opinions, and money worries, can create tension in relationships and hinder recovery.
With nearly 50 years of combined sobriety, Veronica and Chip share their personal experiences and practical advice on how to tackle these conversations head-on. They emphasize the importance of open communication and suggest creative ways to address these issues, such as using email or text when face-to-face discussions feel too daunting. By facing these 'elephants' directly, you can foster healthier relationships and a stronger recovery journey. Tune in for a candid discussion that’s both relatable and enlightening.
