Spotting the Signs: Does Your Husband Have a Drinking Problem?
If a person's use of alcohol is causing problems, whether it's in the family, whether it's at their job, whether it's physically, whether it's legally, whatever it is. If it's causing problems in those areas, then yes, a drinking problem exists.
Ever found yourself questioning if your husband's drinking habits are just a bit too much? Julie Sanford, host of the 'Married to Addiction' podcast, dives into this very concern in Episode 3. Drawing from her own experiences, Julie tackles the tough questions many wives face: Is it just me, or is there really a problem? How much is too much? Are other husbands drinking like mine?
She breaks down the red flags that might indicate a deeper issue and shares what steps you can take if you find yourself in this situation. Julie doesn't just leave it at identifying the problem; she also emphasizes the importance of self-care. Often, wives get so caught up in their husband's recovery that they forget about their own well-being. Julie's faith-based approach incorporates prayer and biblical teachings, offering a comforting perspective for those who find strength in spirituality.
This episode isn't just for those directly affected by a spouse's drinking; it's a resource for anyone navigating the turbulent waters of addiction within their family. With practical advice and heartfelt support, Julie reminds listeners that they're not alone on this journey. Whether you're seeking clarity on your husband's drinking or looking for ways to support both him and yourself, this episode provides valuable insights and actionable steps.
