S3E18 Loving an Alcoholic: Healing the Hidden Wounds Left Behind

Friends,

What does it do to your heart, your body, and your sense of safety to love someone struggling with alcohol use?

In this episode, I’m joined by holistic health and fitness coach Tresa Salters, who shares her story of loving a spouse with alcohol use disorder, and the lasting impact it had on her mental, physical, and spiritual health.

While much of the conversation around addiction focuses on the person struggling, this episode turns the lens toward the spouse and family members who are often left carrying unseen wounds.

Tresa opens up about the moment she knew something had to change, how she began protecting herself and her children, and what true healing has looked like in the years since.

If you’ve ever felt the ripple effects of someone else’s addiction, this conversation will remind you that your healing matters too.
