A Wife's Road to Recovery: Because Addiction Affects More than Just the Addict

By Kim Freels

I married a drug addict -- but God intervened. How could I deny what was right in front of me? But deny I did. Being both naive and gullible makes for a dangerous combination when married to a manipulator stuck in his relentless cycles of sin.I felt stuck. If I were honest with the people who were closest to me, the ones who I knew loved me enough to tell me the truth, then maybe my denial filled existence would get interrupted with reality. I would rather go on living the lie in total ignorance, than be hurt by facing the truth.What people do not talk about with addicts though, are the recovery of their loved ones. After all, we are the ones who feel the brunt of the addict's decisions. We are pained by their choices, crushed by their lies and scared to death that true change will not occur.I had to put all my faith in the Lord. Faith in man will fail, but faith in the Father will always find favor. No matter how devastating your situation feels, no matter how hopeless your situation seems, and no matter how long your situation has been continuing; Our God is bigger than all of that.
