Sober Dad: Navigating Parenting with Grace and Sobriety

Your job is to deal with this moving target of where exactly the limits should be set, while finding the sweet spot between compulsively over-controlling your children and being overly lax.
Parenting is a full-time job, and when you add the challenges of recovery into the mix, it can feel like an impossible balancing act. In this episode of 'Recovery Road', host William Moyers sits down with Michael Graubart, author of 'Sober Dad: The Manual for Perfectly Imperfect Parenting'. They dive into the complexities of parenting during tough times, especially in the context of maintaining sobriety.
Graubart shares practical tips on setting boundaries for screen time and discusses the impact of Hollywood on family values. But it's not all about rules and regulations; Graubart also highlights the importance of creating and cherishing 'magic moments' with your children. He suggests documenting these special times to look back on, which can be a source of joy and motivation.
Whether you're a parent in recovery or simply looking for ways to improve your parenting skills, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement.
