One On One With Coach Blu: Relationships & Recovery
One on One with Coach Blu is our weekly call-in show where we answer viewer questions on addiction, recovery mental health, and more.
This week we answer: After years of broken promises, weekend drinking binges, affairs, and lies upon lies, it's time I divorce my husband. Nothing changes and his addiction is out of control. Why do I feel like I’m the bad guy?
After my DUI I stopped drinking. I put my family and job at risk. The only problem is my wife still drinks and I feel like she resents me now. She is emotionally aggressive and it feels like she docent supports my choice. We don’t bring up my reasons for avoiding alcohol, and passive-aggressive comments when we have friends over are getting to me.

On today's One on One with Coach Blu podcast, we discuss questions submitted by viewers on how to date when in early recovery, how to regain trust with loved ones, and how to have difficult conversations with your spouse.
First Question: How do I start dating now that I am sober? 1. Be honest and forthright. 2. Avoid testing your willpower. 3.Watch for the signs of codependency. 4. Allow your recovery/sobriety to be a value you bring to the table. 5. Practice how you will bring up or talk about your recovery. 6. Pace yourself. 7. Know your worth.
Second Question: How long does it take for my family to trust me? I know I should be patient but I feel like they are constantly raising the trust bar. 1. Trust is a gift, it's not earned. 2. Truly an important part of the forgiveness process is forgiving yourself. 3. Then: Forgive the others and stakeholders in your life. It is impossible to regain trust without first regaining control of your emotional well-being by finding your inner peace with the situation.
