Sobriety doesn't fix anything, but it is a prerequisite.
Imagine being in a relationship where one person makes all the decisions. It's a common scenario in households affected by addiction. In this episode of the 'Untoxicated Podcast', Sheri and Matt Salis dive into the tricky dynamics of control in relationships plagued by alcoholism. Drawing from their own tumultuous journey, they explore the risks of having a single decision-maker, whether it's the high-functioning alcoholic or the overburdened spouse.
This power imbalance can lead to resentment, stress, and even relapse, especially during high-pressure times like the holidays. The couple doesn't just highlight the problems; they offer practical advice on finding a decision partner, managing finances, and establishing healthier habits in recovery. Matt's candid reflection that 'Sobriety doesn't fix anything, but it is a prerequisite' sets the tone for an honest and supportive discussion.
Whether you're dealing with addiction firsthand or supporting a loved one, this episode offers valuable insights and hope.
