Dr. Rob and Tami answer a question from someone who is “white knuckling” their recovery. They’re not leveraging their resources to the fullest because their recovery and journey to sobriety are still in secret. Dr. Rob and Tami explain why this isn’t considered a healthy path to long-term recovery, despite being sober.

TAKEAWAYS:

[:50] I really feel like his recovery journey is too good to be true. Is he really progressing, or is it all still a lie?

[9:45] I am 100 days sober, but my wife doesn’t know about my addictions. What should I do?

[17:30] Is he no longer acting out, or is he just really good at hiding it?

[23:55] Can voyeurism and exhibitionism be “cured”?

[25:55] He backpedals when he makes a mistake. How do I cope when he makes these slips?
