Barbara's Journey: Sacrifice, Survival, and Finding Hope

Hope doesn't always look like staying together.
What would you do if the only way to save someone you loved meant risking everything? In this heartfelt episode of the Untoxicated Podcast, Sheri and Matt Salis sit down with Barbara to unravel her poignant story of battling end-stage alcoholism. Barbara's tale is one of immense sacrifice—she even put her own health on the line to try and save her husband. Yet, despite her efforts, the marriage didn't survive.
But Barbara did, and she has a powerful message to share: sometimes hope means letting go. This episode dives deep into the emotional turmoil of active addiction and the painful but necessary steps of early recovery. Barbara opens up about the complexities of co-dependency, the selfish nature of alcoholism, and the often frustrating encounters with the medical system. Her journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and offers valuable insights for anyone grappling with similar challenges.
If you've ever loved an alcoholic or are navigating your own path to recovery, Barbara's story will resonate deeply and offer a glimmer of hope.
