Recovering from Disconnect: Navigating Recovery with Your Partner
The road to recovery requires dedication and focus.

But, what happens to your partner while you’re zoned in on getting sober?

New research from Recovery Brands, a company providing helpful addiction-related information online through sites such as Recovery.org, shows there is a large emotional disconnect between individuals living in recovery and their partners.

What's more difficult is that loved ones are oftentimes ill-prepared for this journey and do not receive any sort of emotional support.

Nadine Horton has been with her husband for more than 15 years since his recovery. It hasn’t always been an easy road. Nadine shares the good, the bad, and the ugly of this journey and provides advice to others who are in similar situations.
