Ep353 – How Matt Grew to Understand what Sheri had Been Through

Matt understands that his drinking and past emotionally unsafe behavior created for Sheri triggers and traumas. Reaching that understanding was a slow evolution through years of curiosity and growth for them both. On this episode, the couple talks about progressing from, "I got sober for you. What more do you want from me?" through all the stages of awakening and awareness. They also talk about when Sheri would have sold Matt for a nickel, OBO, and Matt's delight at finding a ten-pack of used tighty-whitey's at a yard sale.
