BTC EP #021: I Couldn’t Save Him - God Could: A Husband and Wife’s Perspective on Addiction

In this powerful episode of Behind the Citgo, Josh Torbich sits down with Nick and Tiffany to share a deeply honest story of addiction, recovery, marriage, faith, forgiveness, and transformation through Jesus Christ. Nick came to Brunswick Christian Recovery Center in 2016 after multiple failed attempts at getting sober. He arrived with little hope, believing he could not become the husband, father, or man his family needed. Tiffany, his wife, had spent years living through the fear, chaos, heartbreak, and uncertainty that addiction brings into a family. She wanted to save him, but eventually came to the painful realization that she could not. This conversation explores the reality that addiction is not only an individual struggle; it is a family illness. Nick and Tiffany open up about relapse, broken trust, fear of overdose, emotional exhaustion, boundaries, forgiveness, and what it looked like for both of them to encounter God in different but equally life-changing ways. From Nick’s time at Brunswick Christian Recovery Center, to Tiffany learning how to release control and pursue her own relationship with Christ, their story is a testimony of what can happen when human strength runs out and God steps in. Today, nearly ten years later, they are still walking in recovery, marriage, parenthood, ministry, and purpose. This episode is for anyone in addiction recovery, anyone married to someone struggling with addiction, family members trying to help a loved one, and anyone wondering whether real change is still possible. #AddictionRecovery #ChristianRecovery #RecoveryTestimony #FaithBasedRecovery #MarriageRestoration #FamilyHealing #SubstanceUseRecovery #JesusChangesLives #BehindTheCitgo #BrunswickChristianRecoveryCenter
