Jan and Bob: Navigating Recovery and Relationships Together

I'm so grateful that I was so broken about my alcoholism, because I could accept help, and I was also so broken about relationships, so I could be retrained how to handle situations that I didn't know how to handle and that were not intuitively coming to me either.
Relationships can be challenging, but throw addiction and recovery into the mix, and it becomes a whole new ballgame. In this episode of 'The Pink House Chronicles', Jan and Bob open up about their personal journeys through addiction, recovery, and the intricacies of their relationship. Jan dives into her experiences with step-parenting, revealing how she learned to step back and let Bob's daughter find her own space.
She talks candidly about how feeling broken led her to discover a consistent approach to handling life's problems, emphasizing the importance of safety in her recovery process. Bob shares his battles with addiction and depression, shedding light on how he found comfort and connection within the AA program and other recovery groups. He highlights the significance of making newcomers feel valued and loved, particularly those who are scared and unsure.
Their stories are not just about overcoming addiction; they are about building a life of meaning and connection. This episode offers a heartfelt look into the challenges and triumphs of maintaining relationships while navigating the rocky road to sobriety.
