Being supportive means kicking the person out of the house because they're doing damage. But I think just your own grounding and who you are being healthy, as healthy as you can be- that's right- is probably the biggest hope, because if you're healthy, then you know where to put the boundaries lines and you can love that person where they're at regardless.
Ever wondered what it's like to be married to someone struggling with addiction? In this episode of 'Life by the Drop', Aaron Larson hands the mic to his incredible wife, Koreen. She opens up about her life as the spouse of an alcoholic/addict, painting a vivid picture of the emotional rollercoaster that comes with it. From setting boundaries to dealing with co-dependency and enabling behaviors, Koreen doesn't shy away from the tough topics.
Her story is one of resilience and finding hope amidst chaos. She talks candidly about the shame and guilt she felt, and how she learned to let go and focus on her own well-being. Faith plays a significant role in her journey, offering a beacon of hope and strength. This episode isn't just for those directly dealing with addiction; it's for anyone looking to understand the profound impact it has on families and communities.
Koreen's honesty and vulnerability provide a powerful reminder that healing is possible, even in the darkest times.
