Working with a non-profit to start a sober house and so I'm loving the training you two just gave me!!

[ebonydemnar-brock]

I am 18 months sober and can relate to all 7 of these steps. I was able to figure these steps out on my own and to see others say the same thing gives me such comfort that my sobriety is going to be forever. It's hard work, but worth it. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

This was eye opening! All the things I wish my ex fiancé would do to stop relapsing but refuses to do and instead stays stuck in the comfort of not facing this. I’m devastated but hope that he can find full recovery one day.

This is great information for anyone in recovery - whether in sober living house or not! These videos are great! Thank you!

[jodypixley]

You guys are great ! This all sounds like finding a connection to people and things you do and likeing the connection ! Is this what your saying ? I know you talked on several very important subjects but connection seems to be the major key to recovery and staying recovered

I'm trying to figure out how I can help my husband get out of the mentality that the routine he's in even when he is sober is not like my own, even when it could be. He takes large amounts of time when I have off and chooses to start arguments because of his shame of drinking I think, just so that he can go off on his own or be angry and heightened to get over the shame. He's not including me in activities that we have as similarities, but rather he rejects me pretty much in every way. How do I get my husband to include me in his interests, and similarly to be interested in being with me? A lot of things have waned in our marriage including intimacy.
