The Illusion of Control: Finding Balance in Marriage and Addiction

Boundaries are not to control another person... They're going to set up that vicious cycle, all of those things.
Have you ever felt like you're trying to steer a ship through a storm, desperately trying to control every wave? Julie Sanford knows that feeling all too well. In this episode of 'Married to Addiction', she breaks down the frustrating illusion of control that many wives of alcoholics experience. Julie dives into why our instinct to manage every aspect of our husband's drinking can actually backfire, making things even worse.
Instead of playing the role of a captain trying to navigate rough seas, Julie suggests focusing on your own well-being and setting healthy boundaries. She explains how relinquishing control can be a game-changer in your journey and offers practical advice on how to do it. You'll also hear about the Secret Sister Circle, a supportive community where you can find solace and strength. Tune in to learn how to reclaim your peace and set the stage for a healthier future.
