Why Your Efforts to Help Haven't Worked: Key Steps for Wives of Alcoholics

It's basically a pathway of thoughts leading to feelings which lead to actions. So I think you're going to find this pretty eye-opening if you haven't really explored this or haven't really heard this, and, like I said, a lot of people aren't talking about it.
Ever feel like you're spinning your wheels trying to help your alcoholic husband, only to end up more frustrated? Julie Sanford knows that feeling all too well. In this episode of 'Married to Addiction', she opens up about her own struggles and why many of the things she tried just didn't work. Julie dives into the critical pre-work that often gets overlooked but is essential for any real progress.
This isn't your typical advice; it's about understanding the deep connection between your thoughts, feelings, and actions. Julie emphasizes that negativity and fear aren't from God and that getting a grip on these emotions is crucial for making meaningful changes. She offers practical tips on how to shift your mindset, which in turn can influence your husband's behavior. Julie also highlights the Secret Sister Circle, a supportive community where you can find solace and advice.
Tune in for an episode that's not just informative but also hopeful and encouraging. It's a must-listen for any wife navigating the challenging journey of her spouse's addiction.
