Sober Love: Navigating Relationships and Sobriety with The Recovered Life Show
“Making friends with your feelings and doing the work that we're doing on Tuesday in the room where we pull apart different names, you know labels that we have, allows us to not be so afraid, but also to follow the breadcrumbs, to figure out why- because if you just always shoving it down, you're not doing anything different than whenever you were drinking it away or smoking it away.”
Ever wondered if it's wise to tie the knot with someone who isn't sober? This episode of The Recovered Life Show dives into this very dilemma. Hosts Damon Frank and Kristina Dennis tackle a real-life 'Ask Amy' query from a woman questioning whether her boyfriend should be sober before they walk down the aisle.
They don't just stop at advice; they dig deep into the emotional and psychological layers of such a decision, discussing the potential pitfalls of codependency and the importance of maintaining your own sobriety first. Damon and Kristina also chat about TGIFSober, reflecting on the week's recovery highlights and community events. Their conversation is filled with practical tips, heartfelt stories, and a sprinkle of humor, making it a must-listen for anyone navigating love and recovery.
Whether you're in a relationship, single, or simply curious about how sobriety impacts romantic dynamics, this episode offers valuable insights and relatable anecdotes that will leave you thinking long after the episode ends.
