Hearing Charlie be so open & honest on his sobriety journey will help so many people. I think this is wonderful. Josie thanks for sharing about how therapy has benefited you & your relationship. You two are a joy to watch & a true inspiration. So happy you had a magical honeymoon you both deserve it.

It must be stressful and invasive to show the world where you live and what you do everyday. I hope you get privacy off cameras. Because people always show you what they want you to see. They never show the real bad in their lives. Look at the news how many look happy and perfect on social medias but are not. I know father and mothers who have a double life their spouse know nothing about. I have attended weddings where the bride was txting her side man vice versa. I know mothers and fathers who open up about how they regret having kids while posting happy videos and photos on social medias. The world is filled with lies. It is sad that many cannot speak about these realities and live in a fantasy world. Procreating to get praises as a mom and dad instead of adopting the sad lonely souls on this world. Not oversharing your love life or being secure enough in your mariage that you do not have to show anything to the world about your ring and wedding which means nothing my dear. I know men who bought the big ring and slept around after one too many drinks. Or who visit the strip club. I know women like that too.

I would love to hear more about Charlie's journey with alcohol. In my experience, people sometimes stereotype alcoholics (even those in recovery) as being scruffy, unhealthy, unsuccessful people. My dear friend had a difficult time acknowledging his own problem because he didn't identify with that stereotype. I like hearing stories of people like Charlie who on the outside probably appear to have everything together but in fact is battling something. Congrats on 5 years, Charlie!

I can imagine therapy was hard as it has been for me in the past but it does air our views and make us think about strategies for our mental health. Well done for going ahead with the test as it is stressful in itself. I am a head in the sand person but my body always reacts so I don't escape. Relaxation Josie from now on and I try not to be hurried too as that is something you can get swept up into. Be kind to yourself.

Fun vlog. Love the Maldives.. but I would be on and in the water snorkling the whole day... can't take more that 1-2days just lying reading. In Dominican Republik, every day we did snorkling, windsurfing, canoeing, catamaran sailing, and tennis every day. We could book 1hr of each activity for free each day. The snorkling was 2-3hrs each day. Then 3 days we went on cultural day trips. It was fabulous. I would definitely need that kind of schedule in the Maldives...especially half a day each day in the water on the reefs. Watching the flying fish fly out of the sea is lovely in the Indian Ocean. Shame you didn't see any. Ps. An alternative is to go to the Bahamas.. but go to the smaller islands there. They are just as beautiful.
