In this compelling episode of the Untoxicated Podcast, hosts Sheri and Matt Salis welcome Kathy and Mike Mazzerina, a couple who have faced the challenges of alcoholism and emerged stronger. Their journey is not only one of addiction recovery but also of rebuilding trust and nurturing their relationship through vulnerability and authenticity. Kathy and Mike recount their story, beginning with their early days when social drinking seemed harmless but gradually revealed deeper issues.
As Mike's drinking escalated, it began to affect their relationship and Kathy's health, leading to a crucial turning point where Mike sought help through Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Throughout the episode, Kathy and Mike emphasize the importance of being open and honest, both with each other and the outside world. Their willingness to share their experiences has not only strengthened their bond but also inspired others facing similar struggles.
They discuss how stepping away from social circles initially helped them focus on sobriety, and how they later embraced activities unrelated to recovery, such as movies and miniature golf, to maintain balance and prevent burnout. Sheri and Matt also highlight valuable resources for listeners impacted by alcoholism, including Echoes of Recovery and Sober Evolution, which offer support and connection for those seeking sobriety.
As Kathy and Mike continue to spread their message, they encourage listeners to embrace vulnerability and authenticity in their own lives. Their story is a testament to the power of hope and resilience, proving that recovery is possible and relationships can thrive even after facing the darkest challenges. The episode concludes with heartfelt gratitude from the hosts, reminding everyone that there are resources and support for those in need, and inviting listeners to explore these avenues for healing and growth.
