Recovery is not a binary choice. You are not a success if you are sober, and a failure if you relapse. The same is true for the loved ones of alcoholics. Perfection should not be the goal. Progress should.
Ever feel like you’re either winning or losing in your recovery journey? Sheri and Matt Salis are here to tell you it’s not that simple. In this episode of the Untoxicated Podcast, they dive into the idea that recovery isn’t a black-and-white issue. You’re not a failure if you relapse, and you’re not a success only if you’re sober. Instead, they emphasize the importance of progress over perfection.
Sheri describes the journey as a transformation, while Matt humorously compares it to an Olympic javelin thrower’s mishap. Their candid conversation sheds light on how this mindset shift can impact relationships and personal growth. They share their own ups and downs, showing that the road to recovery is full of twists and turns but ultimately worth the effort.
If you’re navigating life with an alcoholic loved one or working on your own sobriety, this episode offers a refreshing perspective that’s both realistic and encouraging.
