Brittany’s Experience with my Alcoholism, Addiction, Lies, and eventually, our Separation

My most personal episode yet.

I sit down with my wife, Brittany, to share our journey through my addiction, recovery, and the toll it took on our marriage. This is a conversation we’ve never had publicly before.

From the early days of our relationship to the breaking point that led to separation, Brittany opens up about what it was like to be married to me during my darkest moments. She shares the fear, the gaslighting, the resentment, and the emotional toll of loving someone struggling with alcoholism and addiction.

In this episode, we discuss:

💔 The lies, manipulation, and broken trust 

💔 The moment Brittany finally said "I’m done,” and the fear of possibly not being strong enough to stick with it. 

💔How sobriety changed our marriage (and the challenges that came with it) 

💔 The PTSD spouses often face and why their healing matters too 

It’s not pretty, but if it helps even one person, it’s worth it.

(Thank you to our friends and family who jumped into the trenches with us. We love you and are so incredibly grateful for you ❤️)
