Beer Goggles to Clear Vision: Mark and Nadia's Journey Through Alcohol and Sobriety
“We're just trying to talk honestly and openly about a relationship that, on many, many, many, many fronts, shouldn't have worked, couldn't have worked and wouldn't have worked and may still not work.”
Ever wondered how alcohol can shape the course of a relationship? In this eye-opening episode of 'How To Stay Married (So Far)', Nadia Sawalha and Mark Adderley take you through their personal experiences with alcohol and its impact on their marriage. With Mark celebrating his 14th year of sobriety, they reflect on how alcohol first brought them together, offering that infamous 'Dutch courage', and how it later nearly tore them apart.
The couple doesn't shy away from the messy details, likening the early days of their relationship to a chaotic Jeremy Kyle episode. They candidly discuss the challenges they faced, from Mark's struggles with addiction to the strain it placed on their marriage. But it's not all doom and gloom; they also share the triumphs, particularly Mark's journey to sobriety and how it ultimately saved their relationship.
This episode is a heartfelt exploration of love, addiction, and the power of clear communication. Nadia and Mark's story is a testament to the resilience of love and the blessings that come with a sober partnership.
