Ep48 – Fairytale: When Relationship Recovery Feels Out of Reach

Ever felt like your relationship could never bounce back from the turmoil of alcoholism? Sheri and Matt Salis know that feeling all too well. In this episode of the Untoxicated Podcast, they share their personal journey of transforming a seemingly impossible fairytale into a reality. They start by discussing a chapter from their upcoming book, 'soberevolution,' which a focus group of loved ones of alcoholics described as a fairytale.

This chapter, 'Healing Wounds,' dives deep into working through resentment, rebuilding trust, and dealing with the damage done to children in an alcoholic marriage. The focus group found it hard to believe that such recovery was possible for them. Sheri and Matt, however, break down how they navigated this arduous path, emphasizing the importance of patience and emotional growth. They reflect on their differing parenting instincts and how sobriety has impacted their self-confidence and relationships.

If you're feeling like a happy ending is out of reach, this episode offers a beacon of hope and practical advice to help you on your own journey of recovery.
