The Many Faces of Alcoholism: Julie Sanford's Insights for Wives

Episode Overview

  • Alcoholism is a progressive disease, with the level of consumption likely to change over time.
  • Different types of drinkers are discussed, from those seemingly unaffected to those whose lives are significantly impacted by drinking.
  • Julie emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries and understanding addiction at any level of dependency.
So it looks different for each of us. I hope that that's brought you a little bit of clarity that just because, you know, your husband's drinking looks different from somebody else's doesn't necessarily mean that there is not a problem or that there won't be a problem in the future.

Julie sheds light on how these different levels of dependency can evolve over time and impact your relationship.
She also highlights the importance of setting boundaries and gaining a deeper understanding of addiction, no matter where your husband falls on the spectrum.
