"Everyone on this planet wants to feel special. Allow yourself to just be gentle and kind with yourself and with others."
How do you navigate family dynamics while staying sober, especially during a pandemic? In this episode of The SHAIR Recovery Podcast, host Omar Pinto guides Chris through the tricky terrain of setting boundaries with his family. Despite being nine years sober, Chris finds himself slipping into old habits as he deals with the stress of living in close quarters with his two adult sons during the COVID-19 quarantine.
He's haunted by the fear that his kids still see him as the 'Alcoholic Dad', and this fear is straining their relationships. Omar helps Chris unpack these complex feelings and encourages him to establish healthy boundaries. This episode dives into how to recognize and break negative patterns, communicate openly about past addictive behaviors, and prioritize personal needs that have long been neglected.
Chris's story is a powerful reminder that recovery is an ongoing journey, and setting boundaries is a crucial part of maintaining sobriety and self-respect. Listeners will find practical advice on how to have those tough conversations with loved ones, as well as tips on how to get your needs met without falling back into maladaptive coping mechanisms.
Omar's empathetic coaching provides a sense of hope and empowerment, reminding us all that it's okay to be imperfect and that everyone deserves to feel special. Tune in to hear Chris's journey and gain insights into managing family relationships while staying true to your recovery path.
