Today, we unpack recovery just a little more. In episode 35 we had an insightful discussion with Dr. Jake Porter about the three legged stool of recovery – her recovery, his self-discovery, and the coupleships relational repair and growth.
We are calling this episode sobriety isn’t enough because we are exploring a wife’s experience with a husband who may be sober but is not in a space of self-discovery.
We Will be Discussing:
- What’s a quick understanding of sobriety versus recovery?
- What perspectives have you had or heard from your clients about a husband who is not in a place of recovery? (i.e. no skills to cope and no capacity, window of tolerance)
- What hope can we leave a wife who is in this situation?

Scripture references:
James 1:16
Romans 15:13

Episode 44 “sobriety is not enough” was an answered prayer. You ladies are definitely doing the Lord’s work. I had been growing frustrated with my husband for the exact reasons you outlined. Your encouragement and wisdom is spot on. Thank you!
