You never imagined your marriage would be so heavy, so heartbreaking, so lonely.
You’re married — but feel completely alone. And you’re exhausted from trying to fix something you didn’t break.
If you’re here, it probably means:
This is the problem. And I see it, because I’ve lived it.
Being married to an alcoholic can make you feel crazy, confused, and completely alone. But you are not alone.
There is help. And there is hope.
Unfortunately this isn’t just going to go away. In fact, it often gets worse — for him, for your marriage, for your kids, and for you.
You may have told yourself to just be strong. To stay quiet. To keep praying and hope things turn around. But your heart is weary. Your soul is tired.
And you know deep down: something has to change.

Unfortunately this isn’t just going to go away. In fact, it often gets worse — for him, for your marriage, for your kids, and for you.
You may have told yourself to just be strong. To stay quiet. To keep praying and hope things turn around. But your heart is weary. Your soul is tired.
And you know deep down: something has to change.
If you're in that place I need you to hear this....
Healing and change don't start when he gets sober.
Healing and change start with you — and they start today.
You don’t need to keep waiting for his rock bottom to find your breakthrough.
You can start rebuilding your strength, your peace, and your identity now — right in the middle of the mess.

I’m Julie — a Christian wife, recovery mentor, and someone who has walked this road. I’ve lived through the heartbreak, confusion, fear, and the deep quiet ache of loving someone with a drinking problem.
But I’ve also discovered something powerful:
You can love him without losing yourself.
Through years of hard-won experience, biblical truth, and recovery principles, I’ve created Married to Addiction to be the space I wish I’d had when I was drowning in it all — a place of understanding, guidance, and practical help for Christian wives just like you.
In fact, this is the only resource I know of created specifically and exclusively for Christian women who are married to alcoholics.
You're not an afterthought here — you're the reason this space exists.
I know that in the middle of this struggle, your faith can feel shaken. You may even feel distant from God or wonder where He is in all of this.
That's why everything I offer is grounded in biblical truth, reminding you that God sees you, loves you, and is still working — even in the chaos.
Whether you feel like your faith is barely hanging on, or you’re desperately trying to reconnect with God in the midst of the hurt, this space will not only support your healing — it will nurture your spiritual walk too.
If you're longing for peace, clarity, and a way forward that honors your faith and your heart — you’re in the right place.
It’s time to stop surviving and start healing. And I’d be honored to walk this journey with you.
You’re not alone anymore.
