Married to Addiction

'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.

This is one of those 'tough love' episodes.

But I only bring you tough love topics when I know they are things that I really needed to hear (and take heed of) back when my husband was addicted.

In this episode we will be talking about addiction as an idol.

The Bible warns us about having idols in our lives, so this is something we need to be aware of if it's happening.

I'll tell you how to tell if it has become an idol in your life, and what to do about it if it has.

In this episode I am speaking with Dr. Higgins from 'Wired for Addiction'.

Her work is both fascinating and incredibly important, so I wanted to make sure you knew about it.

Dr. Higgins uses genetic data to both determine someone's pre-disposition for addiction, and also treat it in a way that will be the most effective for that specific individual.

This is ground-breaking information that could completely change the way we view both addiction and mental health struggles.

Please don't miss this one!

Did you know that alcoholism can look a lot of different ways?

What are those ways?

Are some worse than others?

Is there ever a time when drinking is not a concern?

How does our husband's drinking compare to others?

Will it change over time?

I will answer ALL of those questions for you in this episode.

Be sure to tune in.

I remember feeling like I didn't have a life anymore. I had lost myself, along with every single one of my passions, hopes, and dreams.

My life was centered around my husband's addiction, leaving me feeling powerless, hopeless, and stuck.

In this episode I'll talk about getting out from under feeling 'stuck'.

I'll give you some encouragement around this, plus specific ideas of how you can get unstuck beginning today.

'A-ha!! I knew it! Look what I found!'

And so it began....yet another fight about how my husband had hidden alcohol, and how I found it, and yadda yadda....

Does that sound familiar? Does your husband hide alcohol too?

If so, this one's for you.

We will talk about why it's a problem if your husband is hiding alcohol.

But it might not be for the reason you think....

Surrendering when our husband is an alcoholic honestly sounds terrifying.

That's like taking your hands off the wheel when your car is about to crash, right?

I get it. I used to feel the same way.

But in this episode I will explain how surrendering actually makes things easier on us, not harder.

We'll talk about why to do it, how to do it, and the part we still have to play in this even after we do it.

Please listen to this one. I have a feeling you might really need to hear it.
