You can put a lot of parameters in place and structure your life so that you can keep going, but the reality of it is there's going to be points when you crash.
What does it take to live with an alcoholic? In this eye-opening episode of Recovery Elevator, host Paul Churchill sits down with Cassy, who shares her deeply personal story of navigating marriage with an alcoholic partner. Cassy opens up about the emotional rollercoaster, the constant struggle to empathize with her husband's addiction, and the toll that relapses took on their relationship.
She talks candidly about how she initially judged her husband for his behavior, only to realize later that understanding and support were far more effective than criticism. Cassy's story is not just about the challenges; it's also about the lessons learned and the growth that came from them. She highlights the importance of self-care and setting boundaries, even when it feels incredibly tough.
Cassy explains how she found solace and strength in supportive communities like AA and Sober Nation, which played a crucial role in her own journey towards sobriety. This episode sheds light on the complexities of addiction from a spouse's perspective, offering valuable insights into the power of empathy, community, and resilience. Whether you're dealing with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Cassy's story is a testament to the importance of understanding, patience, and finding your own path to recovery.
