Healing Together: Balancing Recovery Timelines in Relationships

If you’ve reached this place with your partner, there is hope to save your marriage. And it’s closer than you think.
Imagine overcoming addiction, only to find your partner isn't on the same page. In this episode of 'Alive and Free', Bob Gardner and Jasmine dive into the often overlooked issue of couples healing at different speeds after addiction. Jasmine shares her personal story of feeling left behind as her husband quickly moved past his addiction. This disparity can create tension and misunderstanding, but Bob and Jasmine offer hope and practical advice for navigating this tricky terrain.
They discuss how a 12-step couple meeting might just save your marriage, even if traditional programs feel like a drag. Divorce is on the table too, sometimes being the best option despite religious or societal pressures. The duo also explores the damaging effects of trying to 'win' in a relationship and how to recognize the exact moment you're no longer an addict.
If you've ever felt that freeing yourself from addiction hasn't freed your partner from the past, this episode is a must-listen. Bob and Jasmine's candid conversation is filled with relatable moments, practical tips, and a touch of humor to lighten the load. Whether you're in the midst of recovery or supporting a loved one, this episode offers valuable insights to help you both move forward together.
