Addiction Is a 24/7 Process - a podcast by Robert Weiss, PhD, MSW and Tami VerHelst
from 2021-05-27T16:19:40
Rob and Tami talk about betrayal in a marriage and how it takes the spouse a lot longer than you might think to ‘get over it’. It is frustrating seeing your significant other in so much pain, but the best way to help him or her overcome that hurt is through showing them day by day that you’re committed 100% in your recovery process and you are becoming a changed person.
