Addiction Series Part 5: My Husband Overcame Alcoholism

Today’s episode is moving, it’s enlightening, it’s illuminating, it’s inspiring… It’s as remarkable as the woman who shares it: Mindy Cervantes​. Mindy candidly and compassionately shares her story of being married to someone addicted to alcohol. She takes us through how it began, how it progressed, and how it resolved. She outlines what steps she took on her end to empower and heal herself, so she could deal with the issue, and notes how those steps actually revolutionized not only her relationship with her husband, but also her relationship with herself and others. She talks about what realizations she had and lessons she learned. She highlights the importance of doing our own work, whether we’re the addict or we’re supporting one.   She answers the million dollar question of what was finally the catalyst for change. She spotlights the less-often discussed phase of navigating post-sobriety and its accompanying questions and considerations.  As in past episodes, we emphasize addiction touches us all, whether directly or indirectly.  The website Mindy mentions is www.loveoveraddiction, where you can also find the podcast.
