Is My Spouse’s Alcoholism My Fault? Unpacking Gaslighting and Blame

I blamed my alcoholism on you, and now I look back on that with a huge amount of regret, and I just feel like it's part of my mission in life not to let people buy that bullshit.
Imagine being blamed for someone else's drinking problem. Sounds absurd, right? Yet, it's a reality for many spouses of alcoholics. In this thought-provoking episode of the Untoxicated Podcast, Matt and Sheri Salis dive deep into the toxic world of gaslighting and blame-shifting. Matt openly admits to having blamed his alcoholism on Sheri for years, a tactic that left her questioning her own sanity and self-worth.
Together, they unpack why alcoholics often resort to this harmful behavior and how it can wreak havoc on relationships. They also discuss the importance of finding sobriety and how open conversations can help break the stigma surrounding addiction. If you’ve ever felt the weight of blame for someone else’s drinking, this episode offers a candid look at the impact of such manipulation and the path to recovery.
