In this episode of the Untoxicated Podcast, Sheri and Matt Salis sit down with Marjorie, a certified trauma and addiction support specialist, and leader in the Echoes of Recovery program. Marjorie shares her journey of growth and resilience, offering valuable insights into the complexities of living with a partner struggling with addiction.
She emphasises the importance of emotional boundaries, stating that 'Kindness is something that I won't negotiate.' Marjorie explains the dual meaning behind 'eggshells' - both the metaphorical tension of living with an addict and the literal eggshells her husband leaves around the house as a sign of dysfunction. The episode dives into the significance of detachment, both emotionally and physically, as Marjorie recounts her decision to stop cleaning up after her husband to allow him to face his own consequences.
This act symbolises her progress and determination to prioritise her well-being. The conversation also highlights the necessity of self-care and surrounding oneself with empathetic and supportive individuals. Marjorie's story is a testament to the power of personal growth and setting boundaries in the face of addiction. If you're looking for inspiration and practical advice on navigating relationships affected by addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
