Summary

I love hearing stories. It’s so powerful, and these real life examples can open our eyes and hearts to our very own potential.

Today, listen to our conversation with one of our brave Love Over Addiction sisters who shares about her relationship with a good man that drinks too much.

She gets brutally honest with us about the baggage she brought from past relationships, how her husband has set boundaries on her, and how she’s come to a place of compassion and gratitude.

She’s found her own happiness and continues to heal and recover, all the while she’s staying married, and her husband is still drinking.
