Summary

When we love someone suffering from addiction, we think that if they can just get sober, all the problems would melt away. We’d somehow have a “normal” life after that, right?

I know when I was married to a good man that suffered from addiction, that’s what I thought.

Today we have an interview from our community who shares her story and how they got here. Her husband hasn’t had a drink in over five years, and she continues to practice her healing every single day. We talk about big issues, like a near death experience for her husband, why she was excited about that, and what her line in the sand is.
