I think it's super important that you get yourself plugged into a circle of people who are also walking through this because that will help you feel heard, that will give you some emotional support, for sure.
Have you ever wondered how to balance love and addiction? In this episode of the Untoxicated Podcast, hosts Sheri and Matt Salis sit down with Julie Sanford, the voice behind the Married to Addiction podcast. Together, they dive into the complex world of being married to an addict, sharing personal stories and practical advice that resonate deeply with anyone facing similar struggles.
Julie’s calm and reassuring 'radio voice' sets the tone for a heartfelt discussion that covers everything from recognizing when loved ones need recovery to getting your own needs met as the spouse of an alcoholic. They also touch on the mantras associated with codependency and the vital role of self-care when you’re caught in the whirlwind of addiction. One particularly poignant part of the conversation is what to do if your alcoholic partner doesn’t support your need for help.
Julie brings a faith-based perspective to the table, emphasizing the importance of community and spiritual support in the recovery process. As she wisely notes, 'It's super important that you get yourself plugged into a circle of people who are also walking through this because that will help you feel heard, that will give you some emotional support, for sure'.
If you or someone you know is navigating the rocky path of addiction and recovery, this episode offers a blend of empathy, insight, and actionable advice. Tune in to find solace and strategies for healing on the Untoxicated Podcast.
