Are some of your relationships more emotionally triggering than others? What happens when you are married to them? Or they are your children? What about your employer? Or Your Clients? Why do we continue to participate in relationships that seem to cause more uncomfortableness than comfortableness? Well, what if you considered you are addicted to them?

And what do you do with the emotions resulting in the aftermath of witnessing or experiencing their crazy? How do you calm down, reflect, and not blow up at them? Or do you?

Falling prey to depression, or the "lull" when you feel aimless in life, can happen to the best of all of us, but what happens when it falls on those of us who are sober? Does a drink or drug sound like a good idea, to enhance our life moment? How does a sober person avoid becoming emotionally stalled and, therefore, intrinsically lifeless? If we want to have a new experience in life, we MUST make a new decision - yet that can sometimes feel overwhelming and pointless. How do we do it? And Why should we do it? Is it time for you to make a new decision? If so, listen in today, as I discuss the power of changing it up, by changing your mind.

It’s not unusual to be in recovery and have had a divorce or two or even three! nor is it unusual to have children from an “ex” that you are responsible for. So, divorced, sober, and likely have some co-dependency issues. Do you wonder what to do with all the emotions of single parenting, co-parenting, and step-parenting? Let alone how to be a loving and supportive partner. Maybe your ex is the one with the blended family, and you stand on the sideline judging how they do it? Assuming you think you know the “right” way.

One of my favorite past sayings was, “Parenting didn’t come with a handbook, but it should have; why did no one tell me about…….” Let alone stepparenting. I was a step-parent before I was a birth parent.

Then there is the learning how to navigate with your partner. What is mine to parent? What is theirs?

Couples in recovery share an authentic understanding of addiction and what it can do to them. Couples also have a shared language amongst them, that is unique to their relationship. However, what occurs when the emotions run high? Do they communicate in the same way? Is it all drama? What if dry alcoholism creeps in - what then? 

In today's show, Susan Denee is joined by her husband Joe, to discuss topics such as the impact of our words with one another in recovery, the relationship patterns/addictions we can fall into, and how to effectively recover from tension that does arrive within the relationship.
