About the show

Are you married to an addict or living with an addict — battling alcohol, drugs, or other destructive behaviors — and slowly losing yourself in the process? Reclaiming Your Identity is the podcast specifically for spouses of addicts and partners of addicts who are exhausted, emotionally drained, and ready to stop surviving and start healing. Whether you're the spouse of an addict or the partner of an addict, this show was built for exactly where you are. Each episode tackles the real questions you're afraid to ask out loud — Why can't I leave? Why do I feel responsible for their addiction? Why don't I even recognize myself anymore? — with honest, faith-based conversation rooted in who God says you really are. You'll find practical tools for breaking codependent patterns, real support for children of addicts navigating the impact at home, and biblical truth about your worth and identity in Christ. If you're searching for faith based marriage healing that starts with you — not with fixing your spouse — you're in the right place. This isn't a show about fixing your spouse. It's about reclaiming yourself. If you are married to an addict, living with an addict, or loving someone through addiction and losing yourself in the process — this show was made for you. New episodes every Tuesday and Friday. Subscribe now and take the first step toward the life God created you for. Learn more at https://partnersofaddicts.com
