Married to Addiction

We all know that we should try to 'love as Jesus loved', but I don't think there is any circumstance that makes that more difficult than being married to an alcoholic.

Between the defensiveness and empty promises and personality changes, our addicted husband came sometimes make feeling love or compassion a true challenge.

But how do we do that in spite of all that? And why should we even bother when he is not reciprocating?

In this episode we will talk about compassion as it relates to our alcoholic. The why AND the how.

I hope you'll give this one a listen.

We hear we should do things like 'accept what we cannot change', 'detach with love' and 'create healthy boundaries'. But when you're stuck in the middle of the storm of addiction with someone it can feel almost impossible to do those things sometimes.

That's because there is a super critical step that needs to come BEFORE we try to do those things, but no one ever talks about it.

In this episode I will share that pre-step with you, and explain how it can make all the difference in the world when you're the wife of an alcoholic.

One of the statements that I think is SO true for most wives of alcoholics is 'You don't know what you don't know.'.

I did everything wrong for the first couple of years that my husband was struggling with addiction.

But I absolutely did not know that at the time! 

I thought I was 'helping', and I tried a million different things and a million different tactics.

After learning the hard way that my 'helping' was most certainly not helping I turned a corner and it changed everything. 

In this episode we will talk about what I consider to be five of the most important things we need to change our minds about if we are walking through addiction with our husband.

I asked myself a lot of questions at the beginning of my journey as the wife of an alcoholic.

Did my husband really have a problem with alcohol or was I just being over-sensitive?

Were the things that I was noticing fairly common, or not so much?

Had I just become more aware of how much he was drinking, or had it actually increased?

Just how much was 'a lot' of alcohol per day? Did other people's husbands drink as much as mine?

In this episode we will talk about how you can identify a drinking problem, and what to do about it if you do.

If you're like me maybe you've looked into some of the resources and organizations that offer help for family members of alcoholics, but they've missed the mark for you in one way or another.

That's how Married to Addiction was born.

I created it to 'fill in the gaps' that I found elsewhere. 

In this episode I'll let you know how Married to Addiction is different, and how it was designed especially for YOU and what YOU need.
