Summary
Caller Rachel's Question: "I’ve been in Alanon since 2006, Sanon since 10/26/21. My husband has been sober for almost 4 years. We have been together off and on over 18 years. I’ve heard that addictions can come in three and I was warned early on that I had a long road with my husband. We’ve both grown independently but not together- it’s been really tragic- two people that are supposed to be professing christians and working programs? If God is in center, why arent we coming together? He told our pastor that he has never been faithful to me, does not believe he’s a sex addict. Identifies Alcoholic and drug addict only- now its ACA and his latest plan is to bring it to our town- his CSAT therapist meets him every Saturday to go through ACA book- I’ve moved upstairs and am giving myself a year like my Sanon program suggest- i have sponsor in both programs and am starting step 3 in Sanon- so excited about what lies ahead as God has been so faithful and loving to me!

| 0:00.0 | We are finding recovery. What does that look and feel like? |
| 0:05.0 | All right, Tyler, before we give you. |
| 0:07.0 | Welcome to the Real Talk Recovery Podcast with the Therapy Brothers. |
| 0:10.0 | We're brothers, we're therapists, and we know recovery. |
| 0:14.0 | Bring your stories, your questions, your successes with real recovery. |
| 0:31.0 | Before we get into that, I have, we have a review to reach. |
| 0:36.0 | We love reviews, so this review says amazing and insightful. |
| 0:41.0 | It says, I have listened to each podcast that you have published as well as the BAE podcast. |
| 0:46.0 | But your last you resonated with me enough to post a review. |
| 0:50.0 | I had just listened to quotations miserable in marriage, |
| 0:54.0 | and it helped me to be the person that I am by putting boundaries in place with my wife. |
| 0:59.0 | I realized that her insulting me, belittling, shaming, and name calling were not her fault. |
| 1:05.0 | It was how she expressed her anger, and it was my fault for letting her do it. |
| 1:11.0 | Let's see, I do not create a safe place for us as a couple, |
| 1:16.0 | and I pray that I can continue to hold strength to it. |
| 1:19.0 | I realize that some betrayed spouses may not like it when we place these boundaries, |
| 1:24.0 | but they are definitely necessary since we unfaithful are so adept to falling back into our shame. |
| 1:31.0 | Having said that, I wonder if Emily had listened to that podcast before she came on your show. |
| 1:37.0 | She reminded me a lot of my wife with the things she said, |
| 1:40.0 | and wanting that connection with her husband. |
| 1:43.0 | I had to relisten to it again, and I felt she showed her cards with her little jab at Tyler in the end. |
| 1:49.0 | And can only imagine what her jabs are like with her husband. |
