Sobriety alone doesn’t prove someone has changed. Real recovery is measured in behavior - respect, honesty, accountability, and humility - not just the absence of a substance. In this episode, Matt breaks down Lundy Bancroft’s Checklist for Assessing Change and adapts it to the realities of addiction recovery. You’ll learn how to recognize the difference between situational conflict and abusive patterns, why addiction can’t be used as an excuse, and what real transformation looks like in practice. Whether you’re the one in recovery or the partner watching for signs of change, this episode will help you separate lip service from the kind of growth that actually rebuilds trust.
