How to Handle Friends Distancing Due to a Spouse's Addiction - Listener Q&A Pt.2

We continue to answer listener submitted questions in this episode and address the following:
1. How do you learn to trust yourself and your instincts again when an alcoholic spouse has crippled your sense of self.
2. How involved should a spouse or partner be in the decisions around treatment (rehab), aftercare (IOP/PHP/sober living), and even maintenance programs.
3. How soon is too soon to start discussing ways the addiction impacted you, the marriage, your children. A spouse or partner discussing their trauma is incredibly important, but for many also a trigger for relapse.
4. How to handle friends and family distancing themselves from you once they become aware of how alcoholism and addiction have impacted you and the relationship.
5. Can a problem drinker ever learn to moderate again?
We rapid-fire through these questions submitted by our wonderful community and we hope the discussion is helpful!
