58: How To Handle Addiction and Relationships with Stephan Neff

Have you ever wondered how having an addiction can affect relationships? How about being in recovery?  In this recent episode of Midlife Love Out Loud, we dove in deeply with this huge topic of recovery and partnership. If you wonder how to manage new love and your sobriety, this is a must listen to episode with Stephan Neff!  Stephan Neff is an anaesthetist, author and alcoholic in recovery. After studying medicine in Heidelberg, Germany, he travelled and worked in Europe and Australia before settling down with his family in beautiful New Zealand. As a retired pain physician, he developed a specific insight into human psychology. As a man trying to drown his sorrows, he found out the hard way that the critters can swim. But over the last 7 years he made every day a little bit better than yesterday.  Today Stephan is an expert in living a life so fantastic, that alcohol has simply no role to play. He shares this passion through his podcast, YouTube channel, and other social media (all titled "my steps to sobriety"). In his book "My steps to Sobriety" he shares the lessons he has learned as a doctor and as a man. And the truth is simple - The past does not equal the future. Every alcoholic can turn his life around, one little decision at a time. This book shows how to do it. Grab his book My steps to Sobriety HERE! Want to stop going on sucky dates?
