Beyond 50/50: Lisa and Julie's Path to Stronger Relationships in Recovery

Sometimes my is and her is, and vice versa. There are times when I'm not at my best and I need some extra help and she picks up the slack. And I think that's the truth.
Relationships are a balancing act, but what happens when life throws you off balance? In this episode of 'A Shotglass of Recovery - 2 Sober Chicks', Lisa and Julie dive into the complexities of maintaining relationships while navigating the rough seas of addiction recovery. Lisa recounts a particularly challenging year, marked by the stress of a new job and the heartbreak of losing their beloved dog.
Things took a dramatic turn when her wife, in the midst of a mental health crisis, brought home a new puppy only to return it shortly after. This emotional rollercoaster forced Lisa to set firm boundaries and encourage her wife to seek professional help. Through therapy and sponsorship, they witnessed a remarkable transformation in her wife's behavior. Now, they're on a hopeful journey together, planning to welcome a new puppy into their lives.
This episode sheds light on the reality that relationships aren't always an even split; sometimes one partner needs more support than the other. Lisa and Julie's story is a testament to the power of setting boundaries and seeking help. Tune in for an honest, heartfelt conversation about love, recovery, and the strength it takes to rebuild together.
