In the last episode "I am Married to an Alcoholic" I shared that I had thought my husband was with me on the journey of living an alcohol free life and dedicated to recovery.  He had recently come clean to tell me that he had been continuing to experiment with drinking for the last few years.  What do we do when we are in relationship with an addict? The answers are not easy and are unique for each relationship.  In this episode I sit down with my husband and we talk about this recent situation and what this experiment was for him on his Soul Recovery path- and then how as a couple we are going to move forward as he recommits to recovery and sobriety. 
My top priority continues to be my personal journey of healing and Soul Recovery and the spiritual foundation that I have under me helped to keep me grounded as we worked through this latest hard moment in our marriage.  My choices are not a directive for what other's choices should be- we are each on our own paths and through spiritual strength I can make clear decisions that are best for me at the moment.  I encourage each of you to find the support you need and make the choices that are right for you in your life. We can learn from each other and support each other- but only you know what is right for you that will not betray who you are or keep you from living your best life.   
The episode ends with a song that I wrote
