You know you need to rebuild trust if you’re going to move forward together, and put addiction chaos behind you.

But how?!

When it feels like the trust is in a million pieces.

No one tells you that you need to start with you.
You need to rebuild trust with yourself first.

And then you can start putting the pieces back together in your relationship and rebuild trust there.

And here’s the truth no one explains….

🩷 trust doesn’t just come back when they say they are trying.

🩷 it grows back in all the micro moments.

If this hits close and you want to learn how to rebuild trust, Episode 66 & 67 of the podcast break this down in a way that finally makes sense.

🎧 listen to the trust episodes

66 - They Say They’re Sober... But You’re Still Not Sure

67 - How to Rebuild Trust Without Turning Into a Detective

And if this feels familiar and you’re struggling to rebuild trust, my DM’s are open.

If you’re the wife of someone who drinks, hides it, or keeps promising things will be different…
You’re probably exhausted from being the steady one all the time.

You’re the one keeping the kids’ routines normal.
You’re the one absorbing the mood swings.
You’re the one managing the house while also managing the unpredictable person you love.

And when you’re THAT depleted - hearing “you need to go first” feels annoying, unfair, and honestly… impossible.

But here’s the truth I wish someone had told me:

You are already going first.
Every day.
In a thousand invisible ways.
And you’re doing it exhausted, overwhelmed, and completely unsupported.

This episode isn’t about “doing more.”

It’s about doing it differently, in a way that protects you, steadies your nervous system, and sets the tone for healthier change in your home.

If you’re sick of trying to fix him, monitoring him, checking his breath, or waiting for him to hold it together…

This episode will change the way you see your next steps.

Because you can lead the way for change in your family

When the other parent to your children is struggling with addiction, or trying to navigate sobriety or recovery…

I know you’ve had to try and keep your kids safe, well and cared for in some of your darkest days.

I know you’ve tried to carry on and try and make things ok when you were dying inside.

I know you’ve put a smile on your face and shown up for your children when all you’ve wanted to do is cry in the shower.

I know you’ve had to make impossible decisions in impossible situations that no one could imagine, unless they’ve been here too.

I see you.

And I know this is heavy.

It’s a lot.

Beyond what you could ever imagine.

Having to make the hardest choices in the most challenging situations.

Having to set boundaries that hurt your heart

Lying to your friends and family so they don’t think poorly of your spouse.

Knowing that when addiction has its hold? Your loved one doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt they normally would.

Trying to analyse every situation for how it’s going to go/what you can expect.

Walking on eggshells so you don’t say the “wrong thing” that sets them off.

Pretending everything is fine to the outside world while slowly crumbling on the inside.

Being lied to. Constantly.

Being told that it is in fact you who is the problem.

Being told that you are the reason they drink/use/gamble.

Almost drowning yourself while you try to save them.

Being told by others to kick them out, leave them, cut them off…. While your heart is in pieces.

Being told by other to stay, don’t abandon them because you are all they have…. While your heart is in pieces.

Exhaustion.
Heartbreak.
Loneliness.
Tirelessly grappling with grief and hope.

And so much more.

Katie’s words after 3 months in the Pathway to Wellness Program.

It was relatable and helpful with meaningful tools that actually help.

Here’s what she said -

“It’s been so hard to find something other than Al Anon that I can actually relate to and is actually helpful. And this is the first thing that has been both of those things. I’m thankful to have found someone who can actually provide meaningful tools and ways that we can help the situaion “

If your spouse is struggling with addiction, better is possible. You can get off the addiction roller coaster.

If you want to find out more about what better looks like and how you can get good support for yourself.

Comment/DM “better” and I can share with you what that looks like.

I know you’ve heard this ‘rock bottom’ narrative time and time again, and maybe you’ve even said it (I have too!)

And I’m sure, deep down, it doesn’t feel good to sit on the sidelines and ‘wait’ for the next crisis, to see if that is the thing that makes them change...
