If you’re really serious about getting better and changing and having better relationships, the first thing you have to do is stop.
In this episode of Sober Cast, Lisa M. takes the stage to discuss a topic that hits home for many - applying recovery principles in relationships. As part of a 15-part Montclair Group Workshop series from 2009, Lisa brings her own experiences and insights into how sobriety can transform our connections with others.
She starts by highlighting the often-overlooked chapters 'To Wives' and 'The Family Afterward' from the Big Book, explaining how these sections offer crucial guidance for maintaining healthy relationships in recovery. Lisa candidly shares her journey, from using people strategically to affirm her worth, to realising the importance of genuine connections based on mutual respect and understanding.
She emphasises that the inability to maintain relationships is often at the root of alcoholism, making it essential for those in recovery to get clear on what healthy relationships look like. Lisa also discusses practical steps to improve relationships, such as expressing concern without criticism, creating a safe environment, and understanding that everyone is at different stages of their development.
She reminds us that while the steps and principles provide valuable tools, it's our responsibility to apply them realistically and compassionately. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of how recovery can positively impact their relationships. So, if you're navigating the complexities of sobriety and relationships, tune in to gain some valuable insights from Lisa's experience.
