Ep 39 Quitting Alcohol But NOTHING Has Changed: Is My Alcoholic Husband Really Sober? Wife On The Rocks I Gaslighting, Addiction, Codependency, Al Anon, Alcoholism, Recovery podcast

Has your husband quit drinking, but the chaos, anger, or dysfunction in your home hasn’t gone away? Many Christian wives find themselves asking: “If he’s not drinking, why doesn’t life feel better?” Sobriety and recovery are not the same thing, and understanding the difference can bring clarity, peace, and direction.

In this episode of Wife on the Rocks, we’ll talk about:

Why simply stopping alcohol isn’t the same as living in recovery.
Common patterns of “dry drunk” behavior and how they impact the family.
What real transformation looks like beyond putting down the bottle.
Encouragement from Scripture

If you’ve been questioning whether your husband’s sobriety is real—or wondering why things still feel broken—this episode will help you spot the difference and anchor your hope in the One who truly restores.
