Married to Addiction

Episode 24: The Illusion of Control


Listen Later

"I've GOT to make this stop!"

This is one of our first reactions when our husband's drinking starts to spiral out of control.

We would do anything and everything to get him to stop, and to get our lives back to normal.

So that's exactly what we do. We try to control anything and everything around his drinking.

Problem is that it is all an illusion. It is not going to fix it. In fact in most cases it only makes it ten times worse.

In this episode we will talk about why trying to control things can be so destructive in this situation, and what we should be doing instead.
