Married to Addiction - Episode 99: If Only He’d Change I’d Be Fine
play

08/01/24 • 11 min

Sure wish I could've found someone to give me a dollar every time I said that back when my husband was deep in addiction! I would be rolling in the dough.

It seemed so obvious to me back then. Most of my problems stemmed from my husband's drinking. Therefore if he stopped drinking so would my problems.

In this episode we will talk about the BIG problem with this way of thinking.

I'll also give you some important shifts you can make towards a mindset that will serve you much better.

In this third part of our three-part series on how we have to navigate our way through this a bit differently as Christian wives of alcoholics we are talking about the shame and isolation that can make its way into our lives.

We can begin to feel like we have nowhere to turn, and that we can't even talk to anyone at our church in a lot of cases, which keeps us in hiding.

Because of this we often feel like there is no support system for us as Christian wives of alcoholics.

So please tune in as I discuss how this plays out, and what we can do about it.

Married to Addiction - Episode 90: When Is a Change Necessary?
play

02/23/24 • 12 min

Should you just 'wait it out' in your marriage if you don't feel like you have clear direction from God?

Not always.

In this episode I talk about five different scenarios in which you should strongly consider a change.

In these cases there is too much at stake, so it is probably best to make a change first, and then wait for divine direction from there.

Married to Addiction - Episode 27: The Progression of an Alcoholic Relationship
play

12/09/21 • 11 min

When we marry our husbands we usually don't have any indication that we will be married to an alcoholic. And if we do, we usually don't think it's 'that bad'.

But one of the main problems with alcoholism is that it is a progressive disease, meaning that it gets worse over time.

Unfortunately that is also what happens to most alcoholic relationships as well.

In this episode we will talk about what that progression looks like, and what you absolutely MUST be doing as the relationship with the alcoholic progresses and/or deteriorates.

Do you spend a lot of time thinking about the worst case scenario in your marriage?

I sure did.

In this episode we will talk about some of the worst case scenarios that hold us hostage.

I'll also discuss...

What if it doesn’t happen?

What if it does happen?

And what if you just stay in a holding pattern for an extended period of time?

Married to Addiction - Episode 41: What if My Husband Never Gets Sober?
play

04/25/22 • 15 min

It's kind of the elephant in the room. The thought crosses all of our minds from time to time: 'What if my husband never gets sober??'

It's a hard thing to think about, but does that mean we are doomed to a life of misery if it happens? Absolutely NOT.

In this episode we'll talk about a couple of aspects of this.

What would our physical situation look like? What are our options?

What would our spiritual life look like? Could there be any sort of reason for all of this?

I know it's not a fun question, but I truly think every wife of an alcoholic needs to listen to this one.

Married to Addiction - Episode 94: How to Start Making Yourself a Priority
play

05/07/24 • 15 min

It can feel like the last thing we are concerned about as the wife of an alcoholic....caring for ourselves.

We are usually so caught up in our husband's life that we feel like we just *don't* have the time or energy to worry about us.

But as a result we fall deeper and deeper into a pit of neglect, ending up a shell of our former selves.

And when you add that to all of the emotional trauma we are experiencing in our day-to-day lives it is truly a recipe for disaster.

In this episode we will talk about what 'making yourself a priority' means, what it *is* and what it *isn't*, and I'll give you three simple steps to get you started.

Married to Addiction - Episode 96: Staying Stuck in the Negative
play

06/20/24 • 10 min

Staying stuck in the negativity of being married to an alcoholic is a place where most wives stay, at least for a while.

I mean, it's understandable....this is a really hard thing to go through. And it's hard not to find yourself drowning in the difficulty of it all.

Problem is that when we stay there it *poisons* us. And the longer you stay there the worse it gets.

But HOW can we not stay stuck in negativity when most everything in our lives feels negative due to our husband's drinking.

I'll offer you some tips on how to do just that in this episode. ---------------------------------------------------------

Married to Addiction - Episode 20: Renewal of Mind with Alicia Michelle
play

09/13/21 • 43 min

I will never forget the first time I heard 'renewal of the mind' actually explained.

I had heard about the concept before, but I didn't really understand what it was, much less how to do it.

Once I was enlightened I remember thinking 'Wait! We can actually DO that??'

Then I started practicing it and it changed my life.

Not kidding. That's why it's the very first thing I have you work on when you enter my Secret Sisters Circle membership.

If renewal of mind is a new concept to you (or even if you've heard of it before but don't regularly practice it) I encourage you to listen in on my conversation with Alicia Michelle of Vibrant Christian Living.

Alicia Michelle is a certified NeuroCoach, and in this episode she walks us through the what, why, and how of renewing our mind.

I promise that if you put these things into practice you will experience some life changes too. Please be sure to give this one a listen.
