Welcome back to Part 2 of my honest conversation with my husband, who is now in long-term recovery from alcohol. This episode dives into some of the most painful questions Christian wives face when living with an alcoholic spouse:
💔 Should I keep bringing up the drinking?
🙏 Can I encourage AA or other recovery programs without nagging?
🔁 Why does it feel like we’re repeating the same toxic cycle over and over again—and he doesn’t even see it?
If you’ve ever felt like something big happens, emotions explode, and then everything just quietly resets without real change... you’re not alone. We talk about why this cycle happens, what we’ve learned from it, and how God can open the door to true conversations and healing—even when it feels impossible.
We also explore:
How to invite your husband to open AA meetings (even as a recovery date night!)
Why some AA meetings don’t go well—and why it’s okay to try again
The role of prayer and timing in recovery conversations
Encouragement for when you’re discouraged, stuck, or silently suffering
This episode is for the wife who is doing her best to hold it all together with grace, but who needs real support, real answers, and real hope.
Full Listener Question:
"My husband admits his drinking is a problem, but he's not doing anything about it. If I ask him if he’s looked into AA, Celebrate Recovery, or Regeneration, he says he hasn’t had time and will look into it later. He’s gone to AA meetings before but says he doesn’t think it’s for him. Do I keep bringing this up? I don’t want to nag him, but it’s eating at me inside not to say anything. I feel like we’re in a painful cycle—something happens, we talk about it for a couple days, then we move on until it happens again. I feel like he’s just appeasing me in those moments because he knows I’ll eventually stop asking. He doesn’t communicate his feelings at all, so I have no idea what he’s thinking."
