Ep 46 Addiction: The Red Flags and How To Recognize it in a Marriage


Listen Later

Are you wondering if your husband’s drinking or behavior has crossed the line from “social” to something more serious? Maybe you’ve ignored the warning signs because you didn’t want to believe you were living with addiction. In this episode, we’re unpacking the red flags of addiction—what they look like in marriage, why we overlook them, and how codependency and love can cloud our judgment. 

 

You’ll learn:

✅ My real definition of addiction—and why it’s not just about how much he drinks or uses.

✅ Why so many wives and partners miss or excuse red flags in early relationships.

✅ Early warning signs that often show up before the problem is fully visible:

• Past attempts at sobriety or rehab stays

• A history of addiction in the family or previous relationships

• Alcohol or drugs present at nearly every social event

• Heavier use than others around him (but hard to see if your circle normalizes drinking)

• Encouraging you to drink or use more than you normally would 

We’ll talk about how codependency can disguise itself as love or loyalty—keeping you stuck in denial while addiction quietly takes over your marriage. You’ll also gain biblical insight and emotional tools to start seeing the truth clearly, without shame or fear.

When you understand the red flags of addiction, you can begin replacing confusion with clarity—and take your first step toward peace, wisdom, and recovery for your family.
