Navigating Recovery: Sheri and Matt Salis on Rebuilding Relationships
“Sobriety not only didn't fix anything, it made things worse, because now this wounded animal of a ex-active alcoholic who was in early sobriety was more present, was more a part of the family had opinions about things, was participating in The Day To Day activities and inserting himself in places where he had never inserted himself before, and there was a lot of butting heads, contradictory ideas about the way things should be done, and that's something that you and I totally experienced.”
Ever thought sobriety was the end of your struggles? Think again. In this episode of the Untoxicated Podcast, Sheri and Matt Salis reveal that while quitting alcohol is crucial, it's just the beginning of a much scarier journey. They dive into the messy, often painful process of recovery from an alcoholic marriage.
