Después del giro: sobrevivir a un accidente, la Vida en Curso de Salvar un Matrimonio, una y otra vez..

How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety? This candid conversation between Gris and Julio offers a raw, funny and tender look at exactly that, framed by a near‑fatal car accident and three decades together. You’ll hear them recount spinning 180 degrees on a motorway exit, the shock that came hours later, and the spontaneous decision to take three grams of mushrooms each to process what had just happened.

That session becomes a springboard into bigger themes: how unprocessed grief gets projected onto partners and kids, how old childhood defences still show up in adult arguments, and how almost dying suddenly makes long‑standing “pendejadas” feel a lot less important. Gris and Julio talk openly about his long history with addiction: heroin, years on suboxone, and then ibogaine treatment in Mexico that left him “medio anestesiado” finally able to feel again.

From there, he leans into daily meditation, affirmations in the car instead of the news, and psychedelic work with ayahuasca and psilocybin to keep softening his heart and staying present in family life. Their style is warm, sarcastic and very down‑to‑earth.

They swap jokes about arguments over driving, laugh about almost separating, and still manage to offer practical nuggets for anyone trying to keep a relationship going through recovery: do your own inner work, lower the constant demands on others, rely on community (NA meetings, circles, temazcales), and remember that long‑term love is “compañeros”, not perfection. This conversation will resonate with people in recovery, partners of those in recovery, and anyone trying to heal old trauma while raising a family.

It’s messy, honest and hopeful—just like real life. What might change for you if you treated your relationship as a shared practice instead of a finished product?
