So I always tell my responses that there's something called the naranon pause, which is an awful lot like the Al-Anon pause, in which you don't just do the first thing that comes into your head.”

Their story is raw, honest, and deeply moving.

The couple also touches on broader issues like the opioid crisis and offers practical advice for those living with a newly sober partner. This episode isn't just about their struggles; it's a testament to the resilience and hope that can be found through the 12-step recovery program. If you're grappling with similar challenges, Marc and Michele's experience might just offer the solace and strength you need.
