Episode Notes Today we sit down for our first check-in. In recovery based meetings, check-ins are a way to give an update on your progress, setbacks and achievements. As family members in a recovery of our own, this serves as a way to gain feedback on the things happening today and be held accountable for also taking care of ourselves despite whatever else is happening.  During this conversation:  Elise shares about the struggles of Steve’s nicotine withdrawal - he claims they’re worse than his detox from hard drugs!  Alex shares about how she maintains emotional boundaries in her relationship with her recovering husband and how this has been especially difficult since he’s moved back home after 6 months in a recovery house. Liz seeks input on her boyfriend’s recent relapse and provides insight into how she caught him in a lie about using again.  Topics also discussed: Emotional Boundaries Addiction Relapse Halfway (Recovery) House Programs
