Every woman that loves someone suffering from addiction is looking for hope. We want our loved ones to change, and we're doing anything and everything we can to get them sober.

We are in a relationship with our loved one for our own reasons, and we never intended to leave the relationship or marriage.

I remember when I was married to a good man suffering from addiction, I tried everything to make it work. You name it, I probably tried it.

Is it possible to live a life with your partner, staying in your own lane, and living in your own happiness whether they get sober or not?

For some, that is possible. Let me lovingly remind you that we never do judgment. You reserve the right to change your mind at any time, for any reason. Let me also say that staying is not for everyone.

Today on the podcast I talk with Dana. We've been friends for 20 years, and she's married to a good man that drinks too much and suffers from addiction. We met in college, and she has chosen to stay (for now), and she lives a happy life. Listen to her story today.
