Getting Real: Honest Talks on Vulnerability, Relationships, and Masturbation with Shay and Eli

We can't be so codependent with our wives that we shield them from really knowing the true us.
Ever wondered what it takes to really open up in a group setting or how to navigate tricky conversations with your partner during recovery? In this episode of 'Monday Nights', hosts Shay and Eli tackle these questions head-on. They start by breaking down what makes a good share in a group. Spoiler alert: it's all about max vulnerability. Shay explains that a meaningful share goes beyond just recounting your week; it dives deep into those painful, often hidden experiences.
Eli adds that there's a fine line between simply telling the truth and confessing from a place of genuine vulnerability. And yes, they even touch on the pitfalls of exhibitionism in group settings. But the conversation doesn't stop there. Shay and Eli also delve into how to communicate effectively with your spouse during the recovery process.
They stress the importance of getting current—being open and willing to answer any questions your partner might have, while also respecting boundaries and being mindful of potential triggers. Their advice is practical and grounded in real-world experience, making it invaluable for anyone navigating these choppy waters. Another key topic in this episode is the phone call accountability process. Shay and Eli share tips for both the caller and the receiver, emphasizing the importance of honesty and support.
And then there's the nuanced subject of masturbation in sobriety. The hosts don't shy away from this often-taboo topic, stressing the need for self-honesty and having a clear plan in place. If you're on a journey to sobriety and looking for authentic connection, this episode offers a treasure trove of insights and practical advice. Tune in to hear Shay and Eli's candid discussions that could very well be the catalyst you need for deeper, more meaningful relationships.
