Episode 27 - Seth

Episode 27 - Seth

Today is 2 years of sobriety for me. And I planned on talking about my sobriety journey. Instead, this last episode is dedicated to all of you affected by people like me. I am thinking of you today. I am thinking of you every day. We all deserve to be happy, joyous, and free. And no one should be given the power to rob us of that. I hope you find the power to remove the anchors that keep the wind from pushing your sails.  I love you all. I can't thank you enough for listening. For encouraging. And for reaching out. Life really is beautiful. And sobriety is absolutely worth it. And I truly thank God for today, because today is all I have.

Episode 26 - Britt ❤️

Brittany’s Experience with my Alcoholism, Addiction, Lies, and eventually, our Separation My most personal episode yet. I sit down with my wife, Brittany, to share our journey through my addiction, recovery, and the toll it took on our marriage. This is a conversation we’ve never had publicly before. From the early days of our relationship to the breaking point that led to separation, Brittany opens up about what it was like to be married to me during my darkest moments. She shares the fear, the gaslighting, the resentment, and the emotional toll of loving someone struggling with alcoholism and addiction. In this episode, we discuss: 💔 The lies, manipulation, and broken trust  💔 The moment Brittany finally said "I’m done,” and the fear of possibly not being strong enough to stick with it.  💔How sobriety changed our marriage (and the challenges that came with it)  💔 The PTSD spouses often face and why their healing matters too  It’s not pretty, but if it helps even one person, it’s worth it. (Thank you to our friends and family who jumped into the trenches with us. We love you and are so incredibly grateful for you ❤️) Here are Brittany’s recommended resources: Meetings: * SMART Recovery: https://smartrecovery.org/ * AL-ANON: https://al-anon.org/ Influencers: * Annie Parker * Instagram: instagram.com/Anniethesafeparent * Linktree: https://linktr.ee/AMParker * KC - Mental Health Matters * Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kc_mentalhealthmatters [https://www.tiktok.com/@kc_mentalhealthmatters] * Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kc.mentalhealthmatters/\ * Till The Wheels Fall Off * Website: www.twfo.com * Facebook: facebook.com/TWFOCouple * Instagram: Instagram.com/twfo_couple [http://instagram.com/twfo_couple] * Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/till-the-wheels-fall-off/id1645024674 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/till-the-wheels-fall-off/id1645024674] * YouTube: youtube.com/@twfo_couple/featured [http://youtube.com/@twfo_couple/featured] * TikTok: TikTok.com/@twfo_couple ☎️ Need help or know someone who does?
