For me the anonymity piece is troubling, because when I've been honest with people about my addiction- not people that also have an addiction that I'm talking to in a church basement, but when I'm talking to frankly the world about it- it solidifies my sobriety.
Imagine starting with innocent sips of your dad's beer and ending up battling a full-blown addiction. That’s Matt Salis’ story, and it’s one many can relate to. In this episode of the 'Untoxicated Podcast', Matt and his wife Sheri delve into his journey from early experimentation to becoming a high-functioning alcoholic. Despite managing to keep up appearances, Matt’s life was a whirlwind of hidden struggles, affecting his marriage, career, and family life.
But this isn’t just another tale of addiction; it’s a raw look at the power of honesty in recovery. Matt opens up about the shame of his first drunken argument, the toll on his relationship with Sheri, and how her maturity played a crucial role in their journey. They also discuss the challenges posed by the anonymity of Alcoholics Anonymous and how writing became a lifeline for Matt.
If you’re looking for a story that’s both relatable and inspiring, tune in to hear how Matt turned his life around and what he learned along the way.
