Today, I sit down with Alicia Bloss, the wife of Damian Bloss, who joined us in a previous episode to share his journey of addiction and recovery in what he calls Breaking The Silence. This time, we’re flipping the script and hearing from the loved one who stood by his side through it all to get insights from the loved one of an addicted and recovering individual.
Alicia opens up about what it’s really like to be married to an alcoholic—covering the emotional toll, financial strain, and trust issues that consumed their marriage for over a decade. We talk about what it means to love someone through active addiction, how addiction can quietly destroy families, and why many spouses feel forced into silence out of shame or fear of judgment.
We explore the unique pain of being a loved one: hiding the truth from family, protecting the kids, and carrying guilt that doesn’t belong to you. Alicia also speaks on the powerful role of prayer, setting boundaries, and rebuilding trust after sobriety. We touch on triggers, communication breakthroughs, and the small but hard-won victories that come with recovery—for both partners.
This conversation is for anyone who’s loved an addict, is loving one now, or has ever wondered what addiction does to the people around it. If you’ve ever felt invisible in the shadow of someone else’s addiction, this episode is for you as we try to foster community for the loved ones of addicted individuals who feel alone.
