If you are the loved one of an alcoholic, it is easy to blame poor lifestyle choices and lack of willpower for the jam your abusive drinker has gotten the both of you into. But it is far more complex than that, and tragically misunderstood. In this episode, Sheri and Matt discuss the brain chemistry of alcoholism. We especially look at it from Sheri’s perspective as her opinions changed through her education and understanding of what was really going on in Matt’s noggin.

If you resonate with this conversation, and you are seeking support for your recovery as the loved one of an alcoholic, we hope you’ll check out our program of connection, empathy, compassion and healing:
