You've heard it before, I'm sure: An alcoholic has to 'be ready' for recovery.

But what does that mean exactly?

And how do they get there?

Is there anything we can do to hurry it along?

In this episode I will share an analogy with you that I think will really help you understand the concept of 'being ready' for recovery.

Thanks for tuning in.

This is a scenario I hear about a lot.

Many of our husbands' early (or even late) attempts at sobriety will be trying to do it on their own.

Is that ever successful?

What are the challenges around that?

What things can make it actually possible?

We'll talk about all of that in this episode.

It's probably been about everyone but you for a while now, hasn't it?

I get it. I was in the same position when my husband was addicted.

But here's the thing...

If you keep ignoring YOU, then you will keep sinking deeper and deeper into a pit of despair.

And that, dear sister, is no way to live.

It's time to make room for you. It's time to focus on your recovery.

I'll give you some tips on how to do just that in this episode, plus a new free resource to get you started.

Nothing changes if nothing changes.

If we feel like we are being prompted to make a shift then we need to listen to that.

It can be difficult because change often feels uncomfortable, but God knows where He is trying to lead us so we need to trust that He will never steer us wrong.

In this episode we will talk about a shift that is coming for Married to Addiction, and also the possibility that it might be time for you to make a shift as well.

Will you join me?

Have you heard the term 'dry drunk'?

What does that mean?

Is your husband considered a dry drunk now?

Why does it occur?

And what can we do if our husband is exhibiting 'dry drunk' behaviors?

We will tackle all of that in this episode.

Hopefully you know by now that working on our own recovery as wives of alcoholics is vitally important.

It can help us get our lives back. It can help us get ourselves back.

But what about the ripple effect?

How does prioritizing our own personal recovery affect our other relationships, or even other parts of our lives?

We will talk about all of that in this episode.

Please listen. The effects are probably FAR more far-reaching than you think.

'I'm sorry. I love you.'

We've heard it all before. Usually after a fight with our husbands about their drinking.

Have you started just tuning it out?

Do you feel like those words are empty at this point?

Then this episode is for you.

And it might just change your mind....

Our head can be a VERY noisy place when we're the wife of an alcoholic.

'What do I do?!'

'How much has my husband had to drink today??'

'Will he be drunk when I get home?!'

'I can't take it anymore!!!'

Sound familiar?

In this episode we will talk about the dangers of staying stuck in a toxic thinking pattern...which might be a lot further reaching than you think.

I'll also share some specific ways that getting out of your head can change things in your life.

It is truly one of the most important things we can learn to do.

This is something I get asked about on occasion, so I thought I would tackle it in a podcast episode.

Is an intervention a good idea?

Is there ever a time when it might be a bad idea?

What types of things do you need to consider before staging one?

I will discuss all of that in this episode.

Boundaries.

It's a word we are all too familiar with as wives of alcoholics.

But it also might be a word that you find really confusing.

What exactly *are* boundaries?

And why do we need them?

We'll slice right through some of that confusion in this episode.
