How can you keep a close relationship with your partner? It’s as simple as A-E-I-O-U! Using a check-in based on the vowels, Rhyll and Steven Croshaw communicate every night about how they are doing in emotional, mental, and physical health and their progress in their recovery. They share how this has helped them align their goals and keep from drifting apart.
In this episode:
Check-ins are for the person speaking - don’t interrupt, save questions for later
Each person shares honestly what is going on in their life; it isn’t about one partner policing the other
Recognize what a spouse is like in addiction and in recovery
Check-ins can also help in a sponsor/sponsee relationship
