Daring to Love the Unlovable: A Heartfelt Valentine's Special

We're talking about the all-encompassing unconditional love. It's like a willingness to sacrifice your own well-being or your own carnal desires for something else.
Ever felt like loving someone is the hardest thing you’ve ever done? In this heartfelt episode of 'Sober on Purpose', Jerry and Tanya tackle the tough topic of loving the unlovable. This isn't your typical Valentine's Day chat filled with roses and chocolates. Instead, it's a deep dive into what it means to truly love those who seem impossible to love, whether it's a difficult toddler, a rebellious teen, a struggling spouse, or a challenging co-worker.
Drawing from their own journey through addiction and recovery, Jerry and Tanya share practical tips and personal stories that highlight the importance of love, sacrifice, and humility in relationships. They talk about how living with an addict or alcoholic can be overwhelming and how understanding the deep hurt behind the behavior can break down barriers to love. They also discuss the role of Al-anon in providing support for families and friends of alcoholics.
If you're looking to strengthen your relationships and find deeper meaning in love, this episode offers a fresh perspective that goes beyond the superficial aspects of Valentine's Day.
