Married to Addiction

Episode 111: It's Not a Choice: What Addiction and Rehab Really Mean


Listen Later

Why does it seem like he keeps choosing alcohol over everything—especially you?


In this powerful episode, we break down the truth so many wives of alcoholics need to hear.

You’ll discover:

  • Why addiction rewires the brain and overrides willpower

  • What’s really happening when he “chooses” rehab

  • How to stop carrying the weight of a decision he’s no longer capable of making

  • What you can do while he’s still in addiction—or early recovery

This isn’t about excusing his behavior—it’s about freeing you from the confusion, shame, and heartbreak of trying to understand the impossible.

💛 If you’re feeling unseen, unloved, or like you’re not “enough” for him to quit… this episode will bring clarity and relief.
