What happens when the person you love recognises they have a problem (or maybe they don't)… and nothing feels steady?
What happens when you keep hoping things will improve… but your life slowly becomes consumed by waiting?
In this deeply honest episode of Addiction Makes Three, Amanda explores the emotional limbo so many spouses and family members of people struggling with addiction quietly live in: waiting for sobriety, waiting for stability, waiting for peace, waiting to finally exhale.
Amanda opens up about the painful reality of putting life on hold while hoping things will eventually get better - and the emotional exhaustion that comes from tying your wellbeing to someone else’s recovery.
If you’ve ever found yourself thinking:
• “I’ll be happy when things settle down.”
• “Maybe I just need to wait a little longer.”
• “I don’t know what I’m supposed to do.”
• “How long do I keep doing this?”
…this episode is for you.
Because you do not need to figure everything out today.
