So I just had a quick question for Tammy. But you know, getting away and doing something, I'm so codependent that I couldn't even imagine going away and doing something separate from my husband and my kids.
Tammy had what many would call a picture-perfect life: two kids, a lovely home, and a circle of friends. But behind closed doors, her reality was far from idyllic. In this episode of Recovery Internet Radio, hosts Rick Atwater and Rob Ryberg invite Tammy to share her deeply personal story of living with an alcoholic husband while grappling with her own codependency. Initially, Tammy didn't see anything wrong with her life.
It wasn't until the crisis hit that she started to question everything, isolating herself more and more as she tried to make sense of her husband's drinking and her own emotional turmoil. Tammy recounts how she often took her kids to the movies, using the dark theater as a refuge where she could cry or sleep without alarming them. Her breaking point came when her husband left once again, leading to a phone call a month later that changed everything.
This moment of crisis was Tammy's wake-up call. She realized that she needed to address her own thinking and seek help from others who understood her struggles. Throughout the episode, Rick and Rob guide listeners through Tammy's harrowing yet inspiring journey. They discuss the various doors through which recovery can be found, whether it's through dealing with alcoholism or tackling codependency. Tammy's story highlights the importance of seeking help and recognizing when something in your life needs to change.
For anyone wrestling with their own addictions or codependency issues, 'The Great Awakening' offers a powerful message of hope and transformation. Tammy's experience underscores the value of community support and the courage it takes to face one's problems head-on. Tune in to hear how one woman's painful discovery led to a life of awareness and growth.
