Love and Recovery: Brian and Tamara's Journey Together

The lens that I have is from all the other relationships, and so when I do step work in my recovery and I think about the mistakes and the harms and the damage I've caused in my past relationships and the traits, the humility and the kindness and the respect that I want to carry into this relationship and the prayer and the meditation and us keeping god first, we hit our knees every night before we go to sleep and there's us having like a one mind going forward, I would say not just my recovery but our recovery kind of bonds, the relationship.
