Life throws these little bumps in the road, and the way I like to put it is the wagon's going to hit a bump and sometimes you're going to fall off the wagon.
Imagine living with someone battling addiction for nearly two decades. That's exactly what Lance experienced in his marriage. In this heartfelt episode of the Red Roof Recovery Show, Lance and his wife open up about their turbulent journey through addiction and the path to healing that ultimately saved their relationship. Married since 1991, they faced the harsh realities of addiction until a pivotal moment in 2009 when Lance's wife decided to enter rehab.
This decision marked the beginning of a transformative journey for both of them. In a candid conversation, she asks Lance the tough questions she had always been afraid to ask: Why didn't he leave during her darkest times? What finally pushed him to consider ending their marriage? This episode doesn't just stop at personal stories. It dives into practical strategies like cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and self-empowerment skills that can help manage addiction.
The importance of family support and overcoming bureaucratic hurdles is also discussed, along with how language can impact feelings of shame and self-worth. The hosts touch on mentorship and daily reflection as vital components in the recovery process. With its mix of raw honesty and practical advice, this episode offers a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting a loved one through it.
