A conversation with my wife, Sarah; our story, mental health, Addiction and family recovery. Ep 72

Oh, this could get interesting!   I had my wife, Sarah, on the podcast.  Anytime I think about having her on as a guest, I get nervous.  She brings a TON of value, helps a lot of people and many identify with her... but oh do I worry that we are going to get into a fight, lol!  We are both on a recovery path, love personal development, and self-reflection, but we often come at it from totally different angles.  When squeezed, I have a tendency to defend, push back and rebel... and our relationship is no different.  We bicker, I wind her up, we debate (maybe just "I" debate!) and our home can be a landmine of character defects.  It's also quite possible that the landmines are allll mine!  On the other hand, there is also a lot of peace, recovery, spirituality, and growth in our home.  Sometimes, she's leading the way, and sometimes it's me.   I could not be happier with where we are in life at the moment.  Yet, the insidious thing about my dis-ease, which is rooted in self-centeredness, insecurity, and fear is, at any given moment, I can't see that.  I can't see through my own BS.  Then, out comes my blame cannon... and its pointing directly at her... the woman I asked God for when I had 6 months clean.  She showed up four and a half years later and we almost didn't make it.   On this episode, we talk about how we met, Sarah's journey to accepting that I was an addict... for real.  We talk about the excitement of a new relationship, meeting the parents for the first time, being on the verge of breaking up a year and a half in, my letter to God about the perfect partner, couples counseling, Sarah finding her own recovery path in Alanon family groups.  There is a lot more we cover, I just can't remember.  And the good thing is, my fear of getting into a fight on-air, sounding like a self-righteous, incompassionate d**k... IT WAS ALLLLLL IN MY HEAD!  💓 Sarah T.
