Rebuilding Intimacy in the Wake of Addiction: Episode 141

Intimacy requires dialog, transparency, vulnerability and reciprocity; it is sustained through well-developed emotional and interpersonal awareness; it comes from a center of self-knowledge and self differentiation; and it evolves through reciprocal self disclosure and candor.
Ever wondered how addiction impacts intimacy in relationships? In this episode of 'The Recovery Show', Spencer takes center stage, sharing his candid experiences from an open panel meeting titled 'The Effects of Alcoholism and Addiction on Intimacy and Sexual Relationships'. He dives into how alcoholism damaged his intimate connections and his journey towards mending them through recovery. Joining him are Tom and Grace, who offer their reflections on the essential elements of intimacy: transparency, vulnerability, emotional awareness, and self-knowledge.
They discuss the importance of reciprocal self-disclosure and candor in building and sustaining intimate relationships. This episode provides a thoughtful exploration of how the 12-step recovery program can help heal and nurture intimacy in relationships affected by addiction. Tune in to gain practical insights and be inspired by stories of hope and resilience.
