#21: This episode might not have happened if Bryce hadn't spontaneously hit "record" during a conversation between 2 friends. As a result, today's show is an unfiltered, "fly on the wall" perspective of Bryce and Liz chatting about dating and relationships in sobriety.
Bryce shares his experience as a single man in recovery; discussing what dating was like before he learned to set and maintain personal boundaries, and some of the wisdom he implements now. And as someone who was married before getting sober (check out Episode 12 to meet her husband Billy), Liz discovers an uncomfortable truth about herself, and a "complicated relationship with gratitude."
We talk about experiencing heartbreak for the first time in recovery, Google's unhelpful advice to drink away our sorrows, and why waiting to jump into a relationship in early sobriety can be hard, and can be worth it. Our takeaway from start to finish is that we won't ever have all the answers. And our opinions are just that: opinions. But we do know this for sure: We are all worthy of love and respect.
