#145 | Relationships In and Out of Recovery | Kurt's Warstory

They say to wait until you have two years of sobriety before you get into a relationship.  But what if you get sober at the same time as your significant other? Or are in a relationship as you get sober? 

 

Relationships are hard enough as it is. Throw in the crazy that comes from an alcoholic's way of thinking, and you've got yourself a recipe for resentment, loathing, and irrational thinking. Just take it from Kurt. It was his warstory that inspired this topic today. 

 

Kurt and his wife Diane used together and got sober together. Hear Kurt tell what life is like today as they navigate their recovery's individually, simultaneously. Next week, we'll hear from Diane. Tune in for that!

 

Thank you Kurt for sharing your story!
