Choosing Love Over Fear: Alicia Bloss On Life With Addiction

Published on January 26, 2026

What does it really mean to love someone through addiction?

In this powerful and unfiltered episode of Conversations with Rich Bennett, Rich is joined by cohost Wendy Beck for a deeply moving conversation with Alicia Bloss. Alicia shares her personal journey of marriage, motherhood, mental health, and standing beside a spouse through active addiction and long-term recovery.

Together, they unpack the emotional realities families face, including denial, resentment, enabling versus survival, therapy, and what it truly takes to rebuild trust after rehab. Alicia also explains the difference between sobriety and recovery and why healing does not end when addiction does.

This episode is for anyone who has loved someone battling addiction or who is seeking hope, clarity, and understanding on the road to recovery.
