The drinker has to be positive and running miles an hour towards sobriety, and the spouse has to keep the walls of self-protection up and not be trusting at first.
Matt and Sheri Salis, the voices behind the Untoxicated Podcast, open up about the complexities of recovery within a marriage in Episode 23. Matt reflects on his struggle for permanent sobriety and the unexpected emotional toll it took on his wife, Sheri. He admits to misunderstanding her cautious attitude and reserved enthusiasm, viewing them as selfish rather than protective. Sheri shares her side of the story, explaining how she needed to safeguard her own well-being amidst the chaos of addiction.
This episode dives deep into the emotional rollercoaster that spouses of alcoholics often endure. It highlights the importance of patience, understanding, and self-protection for both partners during recovery. The couple also introduces their new eBook, 'He's Sober. Now What?', offering a practical guide for spouses navigating the aftermath of alcoholism. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the delicate balance of support and self-care in the journey towards sobriety.
