It’s a lot of pressure.
And you’re both left feeling distant, frustrated, and stuck in the same exhausting patterns.
If any of this sounds painfully familiar, you’re not the only one.
I hear from women every day who are trying so hard to help — who love their partner, but feel like addiction has taken over the relationship.
Like nothing they say or do is making a difference.
No one ever taught you how to support a partner with addiction in a way that actually works.
You’ve read the books, maybe joined a support group…
But did anyone show you how to talk about their drinking without a fight?
Or how to set boundaries that actually work?
It’s not your fault. Most of us were never taught these skills — because most people don’t even know they exist.
But the skills do exist.
The Closer to Sobriety - 16-week small group strategic coaching program for wives of alcoholics who want to help move their partner closer to sobriety. is inspired by my journey helping my husband get sober AND based on the proven CRAFT Method by Robert J. Meyers:
SOBRIETY DOESN’T JUST MAGICALLY HAPPEN - IT TAKES MOTIVATION AND SUPPORT.
You want things to get better.
You love them.
And while you’re trying to hold everything together — the house, the kids, your emotions — there’s little time left to even think about strategy, support, or next steps.
So you fall into old patterns. Avoid the hard conversations.
Brace yourself for the next drinking episode.
You’re not alone — and you’re not doing anything wrong.
This isn’t just about love.
Moving them closer to sobriety is about skills.
Tools. Support.
Because sobriety doesn’t just happen.
It takes the right approach — and new strategies and steps..
That’s exactly why I created...
Closer to Sobriety - 16-week small group strategic coaching program for wives of alcoholics who want to help move their partner closer to sobriety.

More About Me
Mariah - The Founder of Healing Together
CRAFT-certified coach, and someone who’s been exactly where you are.
For years, I tried everything to fix my husband’s drinking. I begged, argued, cried, and felt like I was losing myself in the process. It wasn’t until I stopped trying to control his addiction — and started learning how to support real change — that everything shifted.
Now, he's sober. And I'm here to help other women feel the clarity, peace, and strength I once wished I had.
Healing Together is the community I needed when I felt most alone — and the one I’m so honored to offer you now.
