The damage is less obvious, but it's just as serious damage that we're doing to ourselves that you, as the spouses, are doing to yourselves.
Ever wondered how the loved ones of alcoholics cope with the emotional rollercoaster? In this episode of the Untoxicated Podcast, Sheri and Matt Salis shed light on the often overlooked pain experienced by those closest to alcoholics. While the erratic behavior of active alcoholism is well-known, the self-medication habits of loved ones can be equally damaging, though less visible.
Sheri even coins a term (which turns out to be a real word), and Matt humorously compares himself to a top golfer, despite not playing golf. The couple also challenge the notion that connection is the opposite of addiction, sparking a thought-provoking discussion. If you're navigating life with an alcoholic or recovering from such a relationship, this episode offers valuable insights into managing stress and finding healthy coping mechanisms.
Tune in for a blend of heartfelt stories, practical advice, and a touch of humor.
