Substances in Partnership: Habits and Boundaries

You’ve been asking, “What’s up with Trey and weed? WHY doesn’t Lauren care when he says he’s going to stop, but starts right up again!? Does weed affect your partnership?” Such great questions and they’re tackling them all on Episode 32! In her previous marriage, Lauren experienced the harmful ramifications of alcoholism. She also felt the deep pain of trying to “make someone change,” and vowed never to do that again.  Trey began using weed as a Californian highschooler and it’s been a part of his life ever since. Lauren asks him about belonging, avoidance, consequences, and negative ramifications Trey’s experienced. Then, they turn the tables and discuss Lauren’s alcohol use. Any substance can be poison or medicine and these two chat about using weed and alcohol to cope, to soothe, to escape, and to heal.  If you and your partners have different substances of choice, this episode will be a fantastic resource!
