Understanding the Journey: Navigating an Alcoholic Relationship

Alcoholism is a progressive disease, meaning that it gets worse over time. Unfortunately, that is also what happens to most alcoholic relationships as well.
When you first got married, the idea that you'd be dealing with alcoholism likely never crossed your mind. But as many wives discover, alcoholism is a progressive issue that can creep into a relationship and cause it to deteriorate over time. In this episode of 'Married to Addiction', host Julie Sanford dives into the heart-wrenching reality of being married to an alcoholic. She explains how alcoholism not only affects the individual but also deeply impacts the relationship.
Julie breaks down what you should be looking out for as your husband's drinking problem worsens and what steps you can take to protect yourself and your family. You'll hear about the critical decisions that need to be made, whether you're thinking about staying or leaving. Julie emphasizes the importance of seeking help and finding a support system, so you don't have to face this journey alone.
If you're feeling lost and overwhelmed, this episode offers a lifeline of practical advice and emotional support.
