Addiction & Marriage Part 2

When a good friend approached me and asked why I had not
addressed addiction and alcoholism on the podcast yet- I didn't
have an answer.  I could not believe this topic had not been
covered yet.  As Alyssa and I talked, she shared with me
that she had searched everywhere for solid information on how to
address alcohol addiction in her marriage.  Ultimately, I
invited her to courageously share her story.  In this two
part interview, Alyssa shares how alcohol in the service culture
impacts so many marriages and families and how she approached her
husband on his drinking.


There are many different ways that alcohol, pornography, or many
other addictions can destroy your marriage.  We won't be
able to address addiction from all sides in this interview,
however I am so proud of how Alyssa handled her situation.
 Alyssa does a fantastic job not only respecting her husband
and marriage, but also modeling healthy boundaries, asking for
change, and supporting her husband through his recovery.


If you are struggling with addiction or your spouse is, there is
help out there.  No couple should approach a situation like
this alone.  Counseling, the military ASAP program, and 12
Step Programs in your area can provide you the help you need to
navigate the complexity of addiction and recovery.
