It is not the compliment you think it is when you tell the partner of a heavy drinker how strong she is. And when you tell her that you’ll help more if she makes you a list, you’ve just asked her to do something else for you. Sheri and Matt discuss t... more

  • Too Political!!

    The recent content includes too much self-righteous political commentary and silly chit-chat that’s totally off topic.

  • Life Changing

    Matt and Sheri are real, honest and genuine. Finding this podcast changed my life. I felt so alone and that no one understood what life was like with a high functioning alcoholic spouse. Listening to their podcast and joining Echoes validated all my feelings and helped me start to heal.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep348 – Ask Lara for Her BEST Relationship Advice
Q: What is the single best piece of marriage advice?
The best advice is to take regular team timeouts when activated, and to set and honor a rule-based timeout that allows both partners to regroup before continuing a difficult conversation.
Ep346 – Relapse and Divorce with Kim Augustus
Q: Was couples therapy effective during these periods of active addiction, and what changed as you moved toward separation?
Couples therapy was often ineffective when the other person attended with a chip on their shoulder; effectiveness declined as underlying issues and relapse patterns persisted, which ultimately contributed to the decision to separate and focus on individual recovery and safer parenting.
Ep346 – Relapse and Divorce with Kim Augustus
Q: What role did detachment play in protecting the kids and yourself, and how did your approach evolve over time?
Detachment evolved from a reactive stance to a deliberate strategy; it was about protecting the children and reducing the addict's ability to trigger reactions, which helped stabilize the family dynamics as boundaries hardened.
Ep345 – ADHD and Alcoholism with Annette and Jason
Q: Jason, when did you first get tested for ADHD, and what happened during the testing period?
Jason describes starting ADHD testing after rehab, with testing occurring during a period of sobriety, though he relapsed and was drinking during the test. He initially tested negative due to being under the influence, and later a second test confirmed ADHD when sobriety was more established.
Ep342 – Divorce Like a Boss with Diana
Q: How should someone prepare for the potential of custody disputes when alcohol is involved?
Document finances, schedules, and caregiving routines; seek temporary orders if needed; and consider tools like sober-link and supervised visitation to ensure safety and accountability.
