Sheri and Matt welcome Dana and Frank to the pocast. This is the first time they have interviewed a couple working to recover their marriage. Frank has over a year of sobriety, and they feel like they are going to make it. But it hasn’t been easy, and they know they are among the rare few who save their marriages in recovery. Frank has a very realistic perspective on the patience required to get there. “The only way I was going to convince Dana this was a long-term fix was by doing it long term,” he explains. Dana tells Sheri and Matt why it has been worth the work to save the marriage. “At the end of the day, regardless of all the things, I love him.” If you have hope, this one deserves as listen.

We are 1 month into his sobriety again. Which I hope this time it’s sticks. Different this time He’s on medication to hold back craving. He’s going a million miles an hour and feeling great. I’m sitting here lost, hurt, distrusting and having a million more emotion. We see a marriage counselor. Well I mainly am. These podcast help me to know it takes time on the days the hurt bubbles up. Thank you. If you have more for the person who loves a recovering alcoholic please send my way.
