Married to Addiction

'Bondage and Torment' are terms that we commonly associate with addiction itself, but the truth is that we as wives can suffer from these things every bit as much as our husbands.

In this episode we will talk about what a spirit of bondage and torment looks like, and how these things can take root in our lives.

I'll also give you some practical ways that you can begin to get out from under them, which is SO important since staying in a spirit of bondage and torment is staying in agreement with the enemy.

Please join me for this important episode.

There comes a time in our journey as the wife of an alcoholic when we need to sit down with ourselves and ask some questions.

We get so caught up in the stress and chaos of everything that's constantly coming at us that we stay in reactive mode, never taking the time to evaluate what is happening to US.

In this episode I will give you five questions that you need to ask yourself RIGHT NOW if you are the wife of an alcoholic, no matter if you have been on this journey for three months or three years.

So listen in, take some notes, honestly answer these questions, and then be good to yourself and make any changes that you need to make. Because you're SO worth it.

This can be a really hard line to walk sometimes.

We feel like our husband needs our support through this, but we also feel like we are being mistreated because of his drinking and drinking behaviors.

A lot of times women will draw a hard line in the sand on one side or the other, but that is not my stance on things.

I believe you can remain compassionate (as we are called to be) without allowing yourself to be walked on.

In this episode we will talk about some ways to manage both sides of this equation.

You know I love you, right?

Well I hope that we will still be friends after this episode because I'm dishing out a little bit of tough love.

I learned SO many things the hard way when my husband was addicted, and I don't want that for you.

That's why I'm here!!

So please tune in and listen to the one thing that changed EVERYTHING for me, and is also changing things for the women I work with.

We all have a 'To-Do' list, right? And most of the time it has WAY too much on it.

But have you ever heard of a 'To-Don't' List? 

And did you know that having one of those is actually far more important when you're the wife of an alcoholic?

In this episode I will introduce you to the 'To-Don't' list, tell you why you need one, and give you some examples of what should go on it.

If you are feeling overwhelmed (and I'm almost sure that you are) then you need to give this one a listen.

Do you have a difficult time with the idea of letting go of things you can't control?

Do you envision people who do that as walking around in a La-la land of denial?

In this episode we will talk about the difference between the two, and the truth is that they actually couldn't be more opposite.

Letting go is rooted in one thing, and being in denial is rooted in something completely different.

Give this episode a listen to learn more.

Ever feel not 'Christian-y' enough because you're struggling through this journey with your addicted husband?

Sometimes we can feel guilty, ashamed, or like we're not a good Christian if we don't have 'the joy of the Lord' all the time.

In this episode we'll tackle that head-on.

I'll talk about what to do when you feel that way, and how to give yourself some grace in the process.

I remember having a BIG problem with going to meetings when my husband was addicted.

For several different reasons, which we'll talk about in this episode.

For some of us they just aren't a good fit.

So the short answer to the 'Should I go to meetings' question is really 'It depends'.

In this episode we'll talk about who meetings are best suited for, who they may not be suited for, and what you might want to do instead.

As the wife of an alcoholic do you ever feel like you just need a timeout?!

I know I did....a LOT.

This episode is a bit different than the rest. It's for you to listen to when you feel like you want to scream, or when you feel anxious, depressed, lonely, etc.

In fact there is a scripture in this episode for most every hard feeling that you may be experiencing. 

These words can bring peace, rest, and comfort to your mind, heart, and soul.

Give it a listen. I pray it helps you.

I hear it all the time: 'But if I don't confront him he will think it's okay with me!'

Will he though??

I confronted my husband about his drinking a million times. And guess what....it didn't change a thing except for MY journey through this.

In this episode we will talk about whether or not you should confront your husband about his drinking, how confrontation might be doing just the opposite of what you want, and what you might want to try instead.
