Being in recovery just allows us to give people more grace and more acceptance. You know, basically everyone is doing the best that they can with the tools that they have, and being in recovery has allowed me to realize that some people just don't have the tools.
Ever thought about how tricky it can be to balance love and recovery? In this episode of 'Girls Who Smoked', host Genera Fields dives into this very topic with guests Sara P. and Shelby C. Both are recovering marijuana addicts navigating relationships with partners who don't share their past struggles. The conversation is a heartfelt exploration of the ups and downs of dating while sober, and the importance of self-love in the process.
Sara and Shelby share their personal stories, offering candid insights into the challenges they face. They discuss the stigma of addiction and how it affects their friendships and romantic relationships. One key theme is the importance of communication and support, both from partners and within oneself. As Sara puts it, 'you're repairing that relationship with yourself and you're falling in love with yourself'. The episode isn't just about the hurdles; it's also about the triumphs.
Sara and Shelby talk about how being in recovery has taught them to give more grace and acceptance to others. They emphasize that building healthy relationships after addiction is not only possible but also deeply rewarding. This episode is perfect for anyone who is sober or trying to be, especially if you're curious about how to navigate love and relationships on this journey.
It's a reminder that recovery isn't just about quitting substances; it's about thriving in all areas of life, including love.
