Living with Addiction: A Spouse's Journey on Recovery Rejects

I think just not feeling loved at times like the drug of choice is the one that's loved the most, which you know, and it's not how it is, but that's how it feels when you're in that situation, because that seems like it's their number one priority, right.
Ever wondered how addiction affects the people around the addict? In this episode of 'Recovery Rejects', Rich's wife steps into the spotlight to share her personal experiences. She opens up about the rollercoaster of emotions and challenges she's faced over the past two and a half years, living with and loving someone in recovery. It's a raw and honest conversation that sheds light on the often overlooked impact of addiction on family members who aren’t addicts themselves.
From the strain on their relationship to finding hope and resilience, her story is a testament to the strength required to support a loved one through recovery. This episode dives deep into the importance of self-care for those supporting addicts, the hurdles of long-distance relationships, and the power of forging your own path in recovery. If you're looking for a podcast that speaks from the heart and offers real-life insights, 'Recovery Rejects' is a must-listen.
Tune in to hear a spouse's perspective on navigating the ups and downs of addiction and recovery.
