Learning To Trust Again

10/13/19 • 8 min

Addiction lies. It has to in order to thrive. And we, as the partners, loved ones, and spouses, we get the brunt of these lies.

Do you feel like you’re reading into everything, questioning each detail, asking clarifying questions, or wanting them to verify their story? Do you check their phone for ‘proof’ they’re telling the truth (or not)?

I did. There’s no shame or judgment here. My ex-husband lied to me constantly. So I was always on guard. I had a strong intuition, but it was continually being tested.

I felt like I was going crazy. I was exhausted. Can you relate?

So one question I hear from women in our community all the time is this: “When can I trust again?”

And that’s the question we’ll answer today.

Their Long Road To Recovery And Yours Too

When we love someone suffering from addiction, we deeply desire for them to get sober. We dream of the day they decide to be done with alcohol, drugs, pornography, or whatever else, for good.

Well today, we hear from a woman in our community who’s been married for over 35 years. And her husband has been in and out of recovery for years.

She’s learned to trust her intuition, come out of denial, and discover herself, whether he’s sober or not. It’s a daily challenge for him, but she has boundaries in place to protect herself, stay in her lane, and be happy, no matter what he’s choosing that day.

Hear her story, and how she’s found compassion for her husband today.
