So, yeah, so that's kind of the developmental model and when I learned about it- it was very helpful, so that I knew that where I was at wasn't uncommon, that there's not necessarily something wrong with me or the relationship that we have to go through these things, just like we have to go through development to become mature adults, and for some of us, it takes a lot longer.
How do you rebuild relationships when you're also rebuilding your life? In this episode of Beyond Belief Sobriety, hosts Angela and John are joined by Bri, a close friend from John's home group, to tackle this very question. They share their personal stories about the ups and downs of relationships both during active addiction and in recovery. Bri opens up about her early struggles, offering a raw look into the complexities of forming connections while maintaining sobriety.
Angela dives into developmental theories of relationships and how these can sometimes pose unique challenges for those in recovery. The trio emphasizes the importance of establishing healthy boundaries and practicing open communication. They also discuss why it's crucial to have a solid foundation in sobriety before making significant changes in one's relationship status. This episode is packed with practical advice and heartfelt anecdotes, providing listeners with tools to navigate their own relationship journeys while staying sober.
If you're looking for real-world tips on setting boundaries and communicating effectively, or just need to hear that you're not alone in your struggles, this episode is a must-listen.
