I'm not going to go so far as to thank alcohol for bringing us together, but I sure am glad we found each other one way or the other, and I'm glad alcohol is out of our life so that we can enjoy the rest of it.
Imagine meeting the love of your life because of alcohol, only to later find it tearing your family apart. In this episode of the Untoxicated Podcast, Sheri and Matt Salis grapple with this very paradox. They reflect on how some of their best memories were tinged with alcohol, even as they now despise it for the havoc it wreaked on their lives.
Before diving into their main discussion, they tackle a listener's question about finding confidence and reconnecting in sobriety, all while the threat of relapse lingers. This episode isn't just about looking back; it's about moving forward. Sheri and Matt explore how they've managed to build new, meaningful connections without alcohol. They talk about the relief that comes from no longer walking on eggshells or dealing with the mental gymnastics that drinking brought into their daily lives.
With humor and raw honesty, they share how new hobbies and interests have not only filled the void left by alcohol but also led to new friendships and a richer, more fulfilling life. This episode offers a powerful reminder of both the joys and challenges of living alcohol-free.
