Episode 10: Honesty in Sober Relationships (Part 1)

Sometimes, being in a relationship with another addict can be problematic. Other times, it can be a great source of strength to have someone that intimately understands what you’re going through.

In this week’s episode, Josh and Monique are joined by Roni and Samantha, a fellow sober couple. Together, they explore the drawbacks and benefits of their relationships - issues with trust and honesty, friends and family, sponsors and more.
