Married to Addiction

I was at the end of my rope, sobbing on the couch after having it out with my husband in the middle of the night and I found this podcast. I began listening immediately and thought, this is what I need. I felt immediately like I was having a conversation with someone who knew exactly how I was feeling. I love my husband, I love God and so does my husband so THIS was a miracle in the middle of this crazy mess. Thanks!

I just discovered this podcast and it’s amazing! Julie has been through it all and her wisdom and encouragement are so uplifting despite my sometimes dark days. I’ve learned do much more than I did in Alanon which is also a great resource. Julie breaks it down to short but essential pieces.

This has really helped me the last 3 weeks! I was on my last limb standing. I felt alone, like I was going through this alone- although I knew I wasn’t. I was obsessing and my reacting with anger etc. was overwhelming! I’m so glad for this podcast & your the unconditional love and empathy you’ve shown. Thank you, many tears have been shed. In a good way, the Lord nudged my heart and said “Katy, let me take over”- this was a little push in the right direction, for me.

I am currently in the throws of alcoholism with my husband. Julie has given me a true gift, the ability to recognize that I am not alone in my struggle. She proposes questions and thought processes that I never had come up with on me own. I felt God’s tug on my heart to share some of the ideas Julie shared on the podcast with my husband, in particular the episode on The Myth of Choice. God is truly moving because two days later, 20 played episodes later, and lots of tears and prayers later, my husband recognized he needs treatment and last night was his first night in detox/recovery. Julie, I cannot thank you more for being so vulnerable and having the strength to share your story.
