In this episode we are discussing intimacy issues that individuals in addiction recovery face after their active addition has ceased.  Trust is the first element in a relationship to be eroded during active addiction.  It is the hardest to rebuild during recovery but is essential in intimacy.  We discuss this and the different types of intimacy in recovery.
