But that doesn't mean it doesn't suck for the loved ones around them to still, even in sobriety, be in second position at best, because alcohol and the aftermath are still in the first position, still the number one priority.
Imagine planning a family outing to see ice skating princesses or venturing into the mountains to cut down a Christmas tree, only to find that alcohol always sneaks in as the uninvited guest. In this episode of the Untoxicated Podcast, Sheri and Matt Salis open up about the painful reality of Matt's alcoholism and how it overshadowed their family life. From the outside, it seemed like Matt had his priorities straight, but Sheri knew the truth: alcohol always came first.
Sobriety eventually took its place, but the journey was anything but easy. They discuss how it felt to live through those dark times and the long road to making Sheri the most important person in Matt's life again. If you've ever loved an alcoholic or struggled with addiction yourself, this episode offers a raw, honest look at the challenges and the hope that comes with recovery. It's a story of trauma, resilience, and ultimately, transformation.
