"I made myself small to cope."
What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? The Untoxicated Podcast, hosted by Sheri and Matt Salis, offers an honest and raw look into the challenges of addiction recovery. In this episode, they discuss the concept of 'making oneself small' to cope with the chaos of alcoholism. Sheri and Matt explore how both the alcoholic and their loved ones shrink themselves, either to avoid conflict or to manage the unpredictability of living with addiction.
The couple dives into emotional masculinity, introducing the idea of sacrifice as a way to regain one's voice in recovery. Through light-hearted banter and serious discussions, they illustrate how sacrificing for loved ones can be a source of strength and self-esteem for those in recovery. The episode also touches on how scorekeeping in relationships can be detrimental, advocating instead for a balance that doesn’t necessarily mean 50-50 equality.
With anecdotes about everything from temperature preferences to leftover eating habits, Sheri and Matt bring humour and authenticity to a serious topic. As they navigate these complexities, they remind listeners that sobriety is just the beginning of healing. So, what makes a recovery story truly inspiring? It's the ability to find one's voice again amidst the chaos.
