“From Chaos to Serenity – Chelsey’s Survival Guide for Loving an Alcoholic”
Seth talks with Chelsey, the wife of Delta pilot David (Episode 21), who shares what it’s really like to navigate marriage with an active alcoholic. This honest conversation reveals the hidden toll of alcoholism on families, the lies spouses tell themselves to survive, and how she rebuilt trust after his 0.32 BAC rock bottom.
This conversation covers: 🔹 The heartbreaking realization that her husband had a serious alcohol problem 🔹 Being 37 weeks pregnant and alone, receiving a call from the hospital 🔹 Why alcoholics weaponize texting, avoidance, and passive aggression, and how to recognize manipulation. 🔹 The 987-day journey back from selling everything, living with family, and carrying the weight of someone else’s mistake 🔹 Why she stayed and how she managed it
Chelsey’s story is a lifeline for anyone loving an addict or alcoholic and proof that boundaries aren’t betrayal, and miracles are found in the mess.
