Vulnerability Wins

What if the thing you’re most afraid to say is the exact key that unlocks your freedom? That’s where we start: with a prayer, an intention to be real, and the kind of honesty that makes sobriety livable at home, not just in a meeting.

We trace the Big Book’s roots back to the Sermon on the Mount, 1 Corinthians 13, and the Book of James to show why action-based faith beats white-knuckling every time. Step One gets clarified—powerless and unmanageable are two different admissions—and Steps Four and Five come alive as the place where secrets lose their grip. You’ll hear why “you’re only as sick as your secrets” isn’t a slogan but a strategy, how to choose a sponsor who takes you through the work (and when to switch), and why humility shows up best as gratitude in motion.

This conversation is family-deep. The wives speak openly about what changed: patience, fewer assumptions, and honest check-ins about triggers, fatigue, and trust. We lay out practical guardrails for real-life tests—travel, all-inclusive settings, old routines—and name the “Big Three” that keep sobriety stable: prayer, fellowship, and working with others. We also tackle amends with nuance—owning your part while holding firm boundaries around harm—plus a crucial warning about over-serving until home suffers. Tradition One gets personal: protect unity by protecting your capacity.

What stands out most is the texture of hope: a teenage son modeling integrity, laughter breaking tension, and the reminder that vulnerability isn’t weakness—it’s the doorway to relief, connection, and a marriage that actually grows. If you’re early in recovery, a spouse trying to support well, or someone stuck between dry sober and truly free, there’s something here you can use today.

If this conversation helped, share it with one person who needs it, hit follow so you never miss an episode, and leave a quick review—what truth are you ready to say out loud?
