Summary

When we love someone suffering from addiction, we deeply desire for them to get sober. We dream of the day they decide to be done with alcohol, drugs, pornography, or whatever else, for good.

Well today, we hear from a woman in our community who’s been married for over 35 years. And her husband has been in and out of recovery for years.

She’s learned to trust her intuition, come out of denial, and discover herself, whether he’s sober or not. It’s a daily challenge for him, but she has boundaries in place to protect herself, stay in her lane, and be happy, no matter what he’s choosing that day.

Hear her story, and how she’s found compassion for her husband today.

2:11.0	Correct. Yes, yes. It was a place that I lived in a small community that we would go out and
