I really don't believe that any of them have experimented with alcohol. Yet they're pretty open in what they talk about, as far as what they see alcohol-wise from other kids in school. But I think his friend group really doesn't mess with it. I think their entire exposure and relationship with alcohol is going to be different, and I don't know what different means, but I'm hopeful.
Parenting is tough enough, but doing it sober after years of dealing with alcoholism? That's a whole new ball game.

Both Sheri and Matt had very different experiences with alcohol growing up, and these experiences have significantly influenced their parenting styles.
Their children, having witnessed Matt's struggles with alcoholism at various stages of their lives, are now part of a new family experiment where both parents are sober and well-informed about the dangers of alcohol. Sheri and Matt discuss their mixed feelings—excitement about the positive changes they've seen so far and anxiety about what the future holds. They also touch on the importance of open communication within the family.
Sheri candidly shares her hopes, saying, 'I think their entire exposure and relationship with alcohol is going to be different, and I don't know what different means, but I'm hopeful'. This episode offers a heartfelt look into the complexities of parenting in recovery, providing valuable insights for anyone looking to create a sober, healthy family environment.
