What does this program include?
I bet you feel like you've been on the battlefield, don't you?
You're tired. You're sad. You're angry. You're lonely. You feel defeated, and maybe even hopeless. You also might be wondering where God is in all of this.
You need comfort and healing for your soul and your spirit first and foremost. And since this is a faith-based program we are going to start there.
You are probably completely fixated on your husband's recovery if he is in the throes of addiction.
But what I didn't know was (and what you might not know is) that YOU need recovery too.....for your body, your mind, and your spirit.
Wives of alcoholics can end up experiencing trauma and even PTSD. In fact, I almost had a nervous breakdown because I ignored this for too long, so this is a very important module.
In it we will talk about some ways that you can begin to heal and look after yourself before more damage is done. You will also learn how to bring some peace back into your life while protecting your mental health.
I learned SO many things about addiction by taking this involuntary journey with my husband.
You may have heard that there is nothing you can do about your husband's addiction, and while that might be true for some aspects of it there are definitely some better....and some much worse....ways to go about things.
In this module we will talk about lessons learned through my personal experience with my husband as well as those I learned by actively participating during both his treatment and his recovery.
You have likely heard of coping mechanisms such as accepting what you can't change, setting boundaries, and detaching with love, but those things might feel almost impossible to do right now. Or maybe you are open to doing them, but don't really know how.
In this module we will unpack both these and other helpful practices that can take you from feeling like you're drowning in your husband's addiction to experiencing some much-needed relief and a renewed sense of strength.
As we wrap up I will leave you with several additional resources such as organizations, programs, books, etc that will help you greatly as you move courageously forward!
There is also an end of program wrap up in this module.
PLEASE DON'T TRY TO DO THIS ALONE
I tried to handle/manage my husband's addiction and all of the fallout from it by myself, and it was one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made.
There is help. There is hope. And I would be honored to play a part in guiding you there.
I hope to see you inside the program.
In His Grace, Julie
*This program is private inside meaning that once you log into the program that area is completely your own. The only exception is the answers to the quiz questions, which I alone can see. This enables me to offer feedback when needed. If you would rather not share your answers with me you can just write them in a journal instead and then enter any character in the answer box to continue.
The program is also discreetly billed as 'Women's Ministries'. If you are concerned about confidentiality it is also suggested that you sign up with an email address that only you have access to since that is where the log-in credentials for the program will be sent.
Please also note that this program is not meant for those in an abusive relationship. If there is even the possibility of any sort of abuse in your situation you need to get to a safe place first and foremost.
Every situation/person/marriage is different so there is no specific outcome or result guaranteed from this program. I am not a licensed professional. This is a faith-based program. Due to the digital nature of this program refunds cannot be processed.
