About this podcast

Untoxicated Podcast

Matt & Sheri Salis

Sheri and Matt Salis just wanted a normal life – normal marriage, normal careers, a normal house and happy kids. Instead, they lived a life of lies and terror as they struggled with Matt’s alcoholism. While their experience sounds rare, with over 15 millions problem drinkers in America, their alcoholic marriage was all too normal. Matt has been writing about their experiences in alcoholism and recovery for years. On the Untoxicated Podcast, Sheri and Matt talk about it, too. No subjects are off limits as the couple discusses the trauma of active addiction, the pain of early recovery, the destruction and rebuilding of trust, and the impact on their intimate relationship. If you love an alcoholic, the disease will terrorize your relationship. We hope you’ll listen and find healing in our shared stories. For more support from Sheri and Matt, check out their Echoes of Recovery program providing connection and healing for the loved ones of alcoholics.

Jane’s Raw Journey: Navigating Pain and Anger Amidst Alcoholism

“Part of the frustrating thing I think we and you run into is that the people who are looking for this information are listening. How do we get it to the alcoholics like me?”

Imagine being in the thick of it, feeling like no one truly understands your struggle. That's exactly what Jane talks about in this episode of the Untoxicated Podcast. Hosted by Sheri and Matt Salis, this episode dives deep into Jane's raw and heartfelt story as she navigates the turmoil of loving someone with a drinking problem.

Jane’s frustration and isolation are palpable as she shares her journey, making it clear that finding resonant resources while still in the midst of chaos is incredibly challenging. Unlike clinical advice from textbooks or stories from those who have long since moved on, Jane's account is immediate and unfiltered. She opens up about the anger and pain that come with watching a loved one struggle with addiction, and the hosts provide thoughtful insights and practical advice to help listeners cope.

This episode isn’t just about the struggle; it’s about finding solidarity and hope in shared experiences. If you're grappling with similar issues, Jane’s story might just be the lifeline you need.
