Has your husband quit drinking, but the chaos, anger, or dysfunction in your home hasn’t gone away? Many Christian wives find themselves asking: “If he’s not drinking, why doesn’t life feel better?” Sobriety and recovery are not the same thing, and understanding the difference can bring clarity, peace, and direction.

In this episode of Wife on the Rocks, we’ll talk about:

• Why simply stopping alcohol isn’t the same as living in recovery.

• Common patterns of “dry drunk” behavior and how they impact the family.

• What real transformation looks like beyond putting down the bottle.

• Encouragement from Scripture

If you’ve been questioning whether your husband’s sobriety is real—or wondering why things still feel broken—this episode will help you spot the difference and anchor your hope in the One who truly restores.

https://calendly.com/wifeontherocks/holiday-survival-course

✨ Dreaming of a picture-perfect holiday, only to feel the weight of alcohol seeping into the season instead? You’re not alone. That’s why I created the Holiday Survival Course — a 5-week live small group where we’ll work together on building a thoughtful plan to help you navigate the holidays with more stability, peace, and faith.

I can’t promise everything will go smoothly — but I can give you tools to steady yourself in the unpredictability, protect your peace, and keep your heart anchored in Christ when things get hard.

We’ll meet on Zoom Tuesdays, October 21 through November 18, wrapping up just before Thanksgiving. Space is limited.

Does your husband push back when you mention Al-Anon—or accuse it of being “husband bashing”? You’re not alone. Many Christian wives long for support but feel trapped when their spouse doesn’t approve. In this episode of Wife on the Rocks, we’ll talk honestly about the struggle of wanting help with addiction and alcoholism while facing resistance at home.

You’ll hear:

• Why secrecy feels like lying, but sometimes becomes survival when you need support.

• The truth about what Al-Anon really is (and isn’t).

• Online meeting options through the Al-Anon app and other accessible resources.

• Alternative programs and supports that can meet the same needs.

• How coaching or courses (like my upcoming fall program) can give you faith-based support without secrecy.

You don’t have to choose between honoring your marriage and getting the help you need. The gaslighting of him saying that there isn't an issue in the first place and trying to make that make sense with what you are experiencing.......This conversation will help you sort through your options and move forward in wisdom and peace.

Are you ever unsure if your actions are helping your alcoholic husband—or actually enabling him? Many Christian wives fall into codependent patterns without realizing it, believing they are loving, protecting, or supporting their spouse. But what feels like care can quietly fuel addiction and rob you of peace.

In this episode of Wife on the Rocks, we’ll explore what codependency really is, how to recognize enabling behaviors, and compare the dictionary definition with my personal definition. Together, we’ll look at the common patterns wives fall into, why they don’t work, and what I am in charge of compared to what I am not.

You’ll hear:

• The difference between helping and enabling in addiction.

• Common enabling behaviors like monitoring, covering, or rescuing—and why they backfire.

• The emotional toll of codependency (guilt, exhaustion, dysfunction).

• How to grieve what you hoped for in marriage while feeling guilty for not continuing the cycle.

• Simple first steps to begin breaking free from enabling patterns. Ask yourself this question.

If you’ve ever thought, “Am I helping him or just making things worse?”, this episode will bring clarity and hope for your journey as a Christian wife walking through addiction.
