Sarah Line 8

Teddy appreciates complexity, acknowledging both the relief and costs of alcohol without minimizing or denying them. The approach is genuine and honest, avoiding toxic positivity or spiritual bypassing, and embracing grace. What I love is how Teddy holds complexity. He doesn't minimize what happened or pretend alcohol didn't bring costs. He says, they brought relief and they brought costs. Both can be true. There's no toxic positivity here, no spiritual bypassing, just honest reckoning held within a framework of grace.
