Listen Later

In this Valentine's Day episode, we invite our guests to share their thoughts on love. We share what we've learned about love and how it affects our relationships in recovery. You'll hear from sober influencer Amber, Jared Blaine - host of the Blaklist Podcast, and sober influencer Jennifer, about how their understanding of love has changed as they've worked on healing and understanding themselves. Each of us walked away with a new understanding of love, and we know you will, too.

"I had this idea that love was giving all of yourself, no matter what."

In this episode, you'll hear about:

  • Sobriety allows us to show up in loving relationships in the way that others deserve.
  • Understanding attachment theory and how it pertains to our relationships is helpful.
  • Our upbringing models love to us, and creates our definition of love.
  • Learning to embrace solitude when you're single
  • Discovering and understanding emotional needs, and how to meet them.
  • It is possible to be loved by someone, but not feel loved by them.
  • Love is an action, and it requires constant practice.
  • Loving someone from afar, or leaving in love, can both be healthy solutions.
  • How codependency and love are interrelated.
  • Conflict in love - what it looks like, and determining healthy vs. toxic relationships in recovery.
  • In this episode, we mention the following books and resources:
