Episode Overview
- Recovery requires addressing past traumas.
- Living amends alone is insufficient for healing.
- Both drinkers and partners need to prioritise recovery.
- Humour can be part of the healing process.
- Investing time in recovery strengthens family relationships.
Living amends skips the trauma processing – it's total crap.
Sheri and Matt Salis, the dynamic duo behind the Untoxicated Podcast, tackle the concept of 'Living Amends' with their signature blend of candour and humour. In this episode, they argue that simply deciding to live better without addressing past trauma is a recipe for disaster. Matt, drawing from his own experiences, emphasises that true recovery involves processing resentments and acknowledging past wrongs.
Sheri chimes in with her perspective, highlighting how essential it is for partners to engage in their own healing journey. The couple doesn't shy away from discussing lighter topics either – ear hair, YouTube cats, and the quirks of everyday life are all on the table. Their candid conversations reveal that while recovery is serious business, it doesn't have to be devoid of laughter.
They challenge you to reconsider your priorities, urging both drinkers and their loved ones to invest time in recovery. With over 15 million problem drinkers in America, their message resonates with many who find themselves in similar situations. Sheri and Matt's approach is refreshing, blending serious discussions with light-hearted banter. By the end of the episode, you'll be questioning if you're truly prioritising your recovery or just going through the motions.
So, if you're seeking a podcast that mixes raw honesty with a touch of humour, this episode is worth a listen.
