#186: My Husband Is A Good Guy But Does Relapse Ever Stop?

Caller Madison's Question: "My husband and I have been going through our recovery journey for the last 4 years. We’ve done a lot of therapy, listening to your podcasts, and learning all we can to strengthen our marriage but there are still times every so often that my husband relapses and acts out. Does there ever come a point in recovery when there are no longer relapses?" Todd and his wife Madison have been married for five years and have been on their recovery journey for most of that time. Todd suffers from an addiction to pornography and has had several relapses. Recently, Todd has been traveling for work, which has made it difficult to stay on track. However, he has been working hard to overcome his addiction and is hopeful for the future. "I just feel like there's such a lack of manhood in our society that we need more of that." In this episode: 1. The impact of relapses on Todd and his wife's relationship 2. Todd's journey to find emotional safety from his past 3.
