Married to Addiction Julie Sanford

Obviously we focus mostly on alcoholism here on the podcast because that is the type of addiction that I walked through personally with my husband.

But what about other types of addiction?

How do they differ and how are they the same?

Is there anything that we as wives need to do differently depending on what our husband is addicted to?

We'll talk about all of that in this episode.

Triggers. As wives of alcoholics we experience them daily. Sometimes even multiple times a day.

They affect us to or core: emotionally, mentally, and many times even physically. (Ever felt sick to your stomach when you realize your husband has been drinking?)

They also affect what we *do*. And sometimes we do things that are not in our best interest because of our triggers.

So in this episode I will give you some best practices for dealing with your triggers.

This is important guidance for every wife of an alcoholic.

Staying stuck in the negativity of being married to an alcoholic is a place where most wives stay, at least for a while.

I mean, it's understandable....this is a really hard thing to go through. And it's hard not to find yourself drowning in the difficulty of it all.

Problem is that when we stay there it *poisons* us. And the longer you stay there the worse it gets.

But HOW can we not stay stuck in negativity when most everything in our lives feels negative due to our husband's drinking.

I'll offer you some tips on how to do just that in this episode.

Let's talk about silence.

When is it good? When is it bad?

And how can we know the difference?

In this episode I'll talk about the value...and danger...of intentionally using silence in your relationship with your alcoholic husband.

It can feel like the last thing we are concerned about as the wife of an alcoholic....caring for ourselves.

We are usually so caught up in our husband's life that we feel like we just *don't* have the time or energy to worry about us.

But as a result we fall deeper and deeper into a pit of neglect, ending up a shell of our former selves.

And when you add that to all of the emotional trauma we are experiencing in our day-to-day lives it is truly a recipe for disaster.

In this episode we will talk about what 'making yourself a priority' means, what it *is* and what it *isn't*, and I'll give you three simple steps to get you started.

Hope.

It feels like all we have sometimes as wives of alcoholics.

And sometimes we don't even have that.

In this episode I will share a shift that you need to make where hope is concerned.

And it's a *really* important one.
