It's not her fault. She can't understand that people need to drink to relax when they come home from work. What we've come to believe as true, just based on the many people that we've talked to.
Imagine being in a marriage where one partner is battling alcoholism, and the other is left to pick up the pieces. This is the raw reality that Matt and Sheri Salis bring to light in this episode of the Untoxicated Podcast. Matt opens up about his misguided belief that his attempts to control his drinking were meaningful to Sheri. In truth, these efforts only deepened the resentment and drove a wedge between them.
Sobriety, they reveal, didn't magically fix everything; instead, it laid bare the underlying issues that alcohol had masked. In this candid conversation, Matt and Sheri speak directly to those struggling with alcoholism, offering a message that could save marriages. They stress that the blame doesn’t lie with the non-drinking partner. It's not about being intolerant or unsupportive; it's about the destructive nature of alcohol and the person drinking it.
They urge listeners to confront the reality of their situation and take responsibility if they hope to mend their relationships. This episode isn't just for those with an addiction; it's also for their partners who feel lost and helpless. By sharing their own painful journey, Matt and Sheri provide a beacon of hope, showing that recovery is possible but requires honesty, effort, and mutual understanding.
Their story is a powerful reminder that while alcoholism can wreak havoc on a marriage, facing it head-on can pave the way for healing and rebuilding trust.
