I'm sick of hearing about This New Year, new me... I find myself, I sound like my dad a lot of times when talking to people that are in early sobriety.
Picture this: you're in rehab, working hard on your recovery, and suddenly, you meet someone who seems to understand you like no one else. But is it really the best time to start a relationship? In this eye-opening episode of Real Recovery Talk, Tom Conrad and co-host Ben dive into the world of rehab romances. Drawing from their own experiences, they share why these relationships often don’t work out and how they can even hinder your recovery journey.
Tom and Ben don't just talk theory; they open up about their own attempts at love in rehab and the lessons they learned the hard way. They emphasize the importance of focusing on personal growth and stability before diving into a new relationship. You'll hear about the pitfalls of codependency and the unhealthy patterns that often emerge when two vulnerable people try to support each other while still healing themselves.
Tom also provides practical advice for those who find themselves drawn to someone in rehab. He talks about setting boundaries, being honest about your recovery journey, and why it's crucial to take things slow. The episode also touches on how addiction can strain existing relationships and offers hope for rebuilding trust and intimacy. Whether you're single or in a relationship, Tom's message is clear: prioritize your own well-being and personal growth.
The journey to recovery is long and challenging, but with patience and self-care, you can build healthy, lasting connections. Tune in to this episode of Real Recovery Talk for an honest discussion on love and recovery.
