When Sobriety Changes Everything: Matt's Journey from Isolation to Involvement

When her husband got sober, it turns out he has opinions and she wasn't expecting that or counting on that.
Ever wondered how sobriety can flip a family dynamic on its head? In this episode of the Untoxicated Podcast, Sheri and Matt Salis dive into the unexpected changes that sobriety brought to their marriage and family life. Matt went from being a withdrawn, isolated drinker to an overly involved and opinionated sober man. This transformation, while positive, came with its own set of challenges for the family to navigate.
Matt’s newfound energy and eagerness to participate in family matters sometimes became overwhelming, leading to unwanted advice and a compulsive need to share his thoughts. Sheri and Matt candidly discuss how they managed these shifts and the importance of finding balance in recovery. They also touch on the impact of active addiction on families and why it's crucial to let children make their own mistakes and learn from them.
This episode is a heartfelt exploration of the complexities of recovery and the healing process that follows. If you or someone you love is navigating sobriety, this conversation offers valuable insights and relatable experiences.
