Everyday Struggles and Triumphs: Boy Problems Podcast Episode 76

I'm not saying that I don't still think about it, but more so I'm trying not to get like hung up on, like interrogating or asking, like the question, every time I see it, when I know that these are just like common: him being tired or his eyes looking weird or sweating like.
Life's everyday moments can sometimes trigger unexpected stress, especially for those navigating addiction recovery.

Jessica opens up about her current work stress and how it impacts her relationship with Casey, sparking a broader discussion about the lingering anxiety that recovery can bring.
The hosts reflect on how small things—like sweating, sleeping patterns, or irritated eyes—can make them question if everything is truly okay or if another setback is looming. They share personal anecdotes and their reactions to these triggers, illustrating how they've learned to cope better over the years. One of their key tools? Counseling. Both individually and as couples, therapy has been a cornerstone in their recovery journey.
Katie and Jessica delve into their experiences with couples counseling, contrasting it with their early days of recovery.
