Looking back now, I mean you entered into this marriage obviously struggling, but was it apparent at that time, or was it more? If I look back, I was struggling with alcohol from the moment I first took it. I was About Years Old and I can remember me and my buddy went to go and join the scouts and we went one particular night when something was going on, and they said: look, you haven't got any uniform or anything.
Imagine living with someone you love, only to watch them slowly slip away into the grips of addiction. That’s the reality Annie and Kevin Blake faced, and they share their raw, heart-wrenching story in this episode of 'Let The Journey Begin'. Hosted by Hilary Roberts and Jason Wahler, this special two-part series dives deep into the challenges and triumphs of a couple battling addiction and co-dependency. Kevin's years as a 'functioning alcoholic' strained their marriage to the breaking point.
Annie, grappling with her own co-dependency issues, tried everything to keep their relationship afloat, even resorting to desperate measures like spiking Kevin's coffee with laxatives. Their communication broke down completely, leading to misunderstandings and further pain. But this isn’t just a tale of struggle; it’s also one of resilience and hope. Annie and Kevin reflect on hitting rock bottom and the steps they took toward recovery.
Their candid discussion sheds light on the importance of support systems and recognizing addiction as an illness. It’s a powerful reminder that even in the darkest times, there’s always a possibility for healing. This episode is a must-listen for anyone dealing with addiction, whether personally or through a loved one.
