Have an episode suggestion? Text us!Sobriety alone doesn’t prove someone has changed. Real recovery is measured in behavior - respect, honesty, accountability, and humility - not just the absence of a substance. In this episode, Matt breaks down Lundy Bancroft’s Checklist for Assessing Change and adapts it to the realities of addiction recovery. You’ll learn how to recognize the difference between situational conflict and abusive patterns, why addiction can’t be used as an excuse, and what real transformation looks like in practice. Whether you’re the one in recovery or the partner watching for signs of change, this episode will help you separate lip service from the kind of growth that actually rebuilds trust.Checklist: Lundy Bancroft Checklist for Assessing Changing Change in Men Who Abuse WomenFind video clips and full length video from this episode on YouTube and our other social media pages!On the web:www.twfo.comSupport the Show:Buy Us a Coffee!Online Program: www.reclaiming-you.comSoberlink Device:www.soberlink.com/wheelsCheck out our blog:https://twfo.com/blogFollow us on TikTok:https://tiktok.com/@twfo_coupleFollow us on Instagram:https://instagram.com/twfo_couple/Follow us on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/TWFOCoupleFollow us on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@twfo_coupleFind Taylor Counseling Group:https://taylorcounselinggroup.com/Donate to Counseling for the Future Foundation:Donate Here
