I'm the one who bought the alcohol, I'm the one that put it to my mouth, I'm the one that got myself in this trouble. You also nagged me a lot, because, while you're taking accountability, you want to assign the blame for all the problems somewhere, and you take as much of that as you can, but some of it's got to go elsewhere, which is why the point that you so passionately made is so important.
Ever wondered how alcohol can twist the dynamics of a relationship? In this eye-opening episode of the Untoxicated Podcast, Matt and Sheri Salis tackle the tough conversations that come with sobriety and relationships. Inspired by their recent blog post, 'Your Wife’s Not a Bitch', they dive into the reactions they've received from spouses of alcoholics. Sheri opens up about how alcohol skewed her perception, leading her to unfairly label her husband.
But she’s learned that fear and insecurity often lie at the heart of such behavior. Matt and Sheri emphasize that recovery isn't just for the person struggling with alcohol—it's a journey for their loved ones too. They stress the importance of creating a safe space for honest communication, as shutting down dialogue can spell the end of any relationship. If you’ve ever felt misunderstood or defensive in your relationship due to alcohol, this episode offers valuable insights.
So, whether you’re navigating your own sobriety or supporting a loved one through theirs, tune in for a candid discussion that sheds light on the complex emotions and behaviors tied to alcoholism. It’s not just about blaming or shaming; it’s about understanding and healing together.
