Does your head feel really loud right now? Does it seem that the more you look for answers the more confused you get? In this episode I will talk about how our search for clarity as wives of alcoholics can actually make us more confused instead.

Should you just 'wait it out' in your marriage if you don't feel like you have clear direction from God? Not always. In this episode I talk about five different scenarios in which you should strongly consider a change. In these cases there is too much at stake, so it is probably best to make a change first, and then wait for divine direction from there. ------------------------------------------ PLEASE NOTE: This podcast is pre-recorded, so not all offers mentioned/listed will be currently available. 👉🏻For a current list of everything that Married to Addiction has to offer please⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠click here to visit the MTA 'Everything Page'⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. 💗To get my Boundaries Mini Course ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠click right here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. 💗To join the Secret Sisters Circle (my group for Christian wives of alcoholics) ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠click right here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. 💗To get my 30 day online on-demand program ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠click right here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/marriedtoaddictionpodcast/support

In this third part of our three-part series on how we have to navigate our way through this a bit differently as Christian wives of alcoholics we are talking about the shame and isolation that can make its way into our lives. We can begin to feel like we have nowhere to turn, and that we can't even talk to anyone at our church in a lot of cases, which keeps us in hiding. Because of this we often feel like there is no support system for us as Christian wives of alcoholics. So please tune in as I discuss how this plays out, and what we can do about it. ------------------------------------------ PLEASE NOTE: This podcast is pre-recorded, so not all offers mentioned/listed will be currently available. 👉🏻For a current list of everything that Married to Addiction has to offer please⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠click here to visit the MTA 'Everything Page'⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. 💗To get my Boundaries Mini Course ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠click right here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. 💗To join the Secret Sisters Circle (my group for Christian wives of alcoholics) ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠click right here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. 💗To get my 30 day online on-demand program ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠click right here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/marriedtoaddictionpodcast/support

I feel that we come up against some additional challenges when we are in this position as a woman of faith, and I think it's important to talk about those challenges.

Oh, the holidays. They can seem pretty lackluster as the wife of an alcoholic. For some of us they are the most difficult time of the whole year.

So your husband has decided to attempt sobriety. You thought you'd be blissfully happy when this time came, but are instead finding parts of it challenging, or even annoying. In this episode we will talk about things we need to keep in mind if our husband is trying to stop drinking.

When my husband was addicted I became such a good detective that I bet the Scooby Doo gang would've hired me in an instant. I worked hard to figure out all his drinking habits. I thought I was 'good' at it, and walked around with a smug sense of pride and superiority because of it. It hurts my heart to say that now. Because looking back it only made things worse. In this episode we'll talk about how we fall into playing detective, why it's so harmful, and what to do instead. __________________________________________ PLEASE NOTE: This podcast is pre-recorded, so not all offers mentioned/listed will be currently available. 👉🏻For a current list of everything that Married to Addiction has to offer, including free resources, please⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠click here to visit the MTA 'Everything Page'⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. 💗To get my Boundaries Mini Course ⁠⁠⁠click right here⁠⁠⁠. 💗To join the Secret Sisters Circle (my group for Christian wives of alcoholics) ⁠⁠⁠click right here⁠⁠⁠. 💗To get my 30 day online on-demand program ⁠click right here⁠. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/marriedtoaddictionpodcast/support

You've heard it before, I'm sure: An alcoholic has to 'be ready' for recovery. But what does that mean exactly? And how do they get there? Is there anything we can do to hurry it along?

It can be difficult because change often feels uncomfortable, but God knows where He is trying to lead us so we need to trust that He will never steer us wrong.

Our head can be a VERY noisy place when we're the wife of an alcoholic. 'What do I do?!' 'How much has my husband had to drink today??' 'Will he be drunk when I get home?!' 'I can't take it anymore!!!' Sound familiar? In this episode we will talk about the dangers of staying stuck in a toxic thinking pattern...which might be a lot further reaching than you think.
