Ep 53 The Impact of Addiction on Business and Income

Wife on The Rocks Marriage and Business - Listener Question "I find myself trying to control my husbands drinking and even some other things. We own a successful (for now) business and I manage it with him- but he is dropping the ball a lot. I don't know how to not fix his messes! I really cover for him a lot- maybe to save face myself a bit. Am I supposed to just let him tank everything? The business was his dream (NOT MINE), but this past year (the drinking has sky-rocketed) he has made mistakes and let things go that I don't see how to fix. Gosh I'm really struggling and so happy to have found you!" Sending you some serious love,  Annonymous Listener Can a marriage — and a business — survive alcoholism?
