Love and Sobriety: John and Lori's Journey Through Recovery Together

When I first came around, I'd hear guys say things like: 'oh, it's alcoholism, not alcoholism,' and I thought they were talking about drinking. They were talking about the contraption between my ears that kept thinking that way on and off, you know, without being treated by working a program, by going to meetings, you know, by doing the things we do in recovery.
Can love survive the storm of addiction recovery? John and Lori, a couple who have weathered years of sobriety together, certainly think so. In this heartfelt episode of Recovery Internet Radio, hosts Rick Atwater and Rob Ryberg sit down with John and Lori to discuss the trials and triumphs of maintaining a relationship while navigating personal recovery journeys.
John and Lori open up about their individual battles with addiction and how they've managed to support each other through the ups and downs. They reveal the importance of personal growth, stressing that working on themselves first has been crucial in building a strong, resilient relationship. Honesty, they say, is the bedrock of their partnership. They’ve learned to be truthful with themselves and each other, which has been key to their sobriety and mutual understanding.
The couple also touches on the role of humor in their recovery, the challenges of dating while sober, and the invaluable support of their community. Their story is a beacon of hope for anyone struggling to balance love and recovery. By focusing on their own growth and working the program together, John and Lori have built a lasting relationship that continues to thrive. Tune in to hear their inspiring journey and find out how they've managed to stay together sober.
