Building Trust and Boundaries: Michael Molthan and Rachel Stacy on Relationships in Recovery

It's about being able to communicate effectively and be patient with one another, but also having enough humility to know that you're going to make mistakes along the way and you're going to fall short. And that's okay, as long as you're willing to make it right and keep pushing forward.
Relationships can be tricky at the best of times, but add recovery into the mix, and you've got a whole new set of challenges. In this episode of 'M2 The Rock', Michael Molthan and Rachel Stacy share their personal experiences and insights on navigating relationships while in recovery. Both having battled addiction and now living in long-term recovery, they bring a wealth of knowledge to the table about how addiction impacts romantic partnerships, friendships, and family ties.
Their conversation is refreshingly honest, diving into the nitty-gritty of effective communication, trust-building, setting boundaries, and the all-important self-care. One key takeaway is the painstaking process of rebuilding trust in relationships damaged by addiction. Molthan and Stacy stress patience and persistence, urging listeners to take responsibility for past mistakes while working to regain trust. They also highlight the necessity of setting clear boundaries and expectations to foster a sense of safety and security in relationships.
Another vital theme is the prioritization of self-care and personal growth. Stacy emphasizes the need for a robust support system, whether through a 12-step program, therapy, or community support. She also underscores the importance of self-compassion and self-forgiveness, reminding us that recovery is a continuous journey requiring ongoing effort. The duo also touches on the stigma and judgment often faced by those in recovery, advocating for community outreach and education to combat these harmful attitudes.
They celebrate the milestones in recovery, no matter how small, recognizing each step as a victory. This episode is a powerful reminder of the effort required to maintain healthy relationships in recovery and the rewards that come with it.
