Married to Addiction

Episode 8: The Myth of Choice


Listen Later

'My husband keeps choosing alcohol over me.'

That is what I thought for a long time and it drastically affected my marriage, my approach to my husband's addiction, and my psyche.

This is a common thought for wives of alcoholics, but today I want to share with you why I now 100% believe that choice as it relates to alcoholism is a myth.

In this episode I'll talk about how I arrived at this decision through research, being involved with my husband's treatment program, and the catastrophic events in our personal lives that let me know beyond a shadow of a doubt that all 'choice' had been completely removed.

So if you are someone who is struggling with the fact that your husband keeps 'choosing' alcohol over you then I strongly encourage you to give this episode a listen.
