In this week’s episode of The Alcohol ReThink Podcast Patrick is joined by Deanna Marie. Deanna is a life coach who helps partners of alcoholics find happiness again even if their partner doesn’t change.


In this episode of The Alcohol ReThink Podcast Deanna shares what it was like for her to be in a relationship with a functional alcoholic for 20 years.

In this raw interview, Deanna shares her story of being married to a functional alcoholic. She speaks about how childhood conditioning and expectations of what relationships are 'supposed' to look like blocked her from her intuition. 

Some of the other topics they chat about in this episode are:

- Gaslighting

- Identifying what your red flags are
- Ways you might ignore/excuse behaviour
- The importance of boundaries in relationships… for yourself
- The cost of trying to keep your dream alive when you try to control someone else
- Learning to trust and self-confidence
- Why do people stay in dysfunctional relationships
- How to empower yourself whether you stay or go
