Coming soon: a coaching and support ministry based on these books:
He’s sober. You’re still hurting. Now what?
For countless Christian women, the moment their husband achieves sobriety is supposed to mark the beginning of a “happily ever after.” But instead of healing, they find themselves trapped in a painful, confusing reality: the addiction may be gone, yet the patterns of abuse, control, and spiritual harm remain.
In He’s Clean and Sober… So Where’s My Happily Ever After?, Cherri Raws Freeman offers a compassionate, faith-centered guide to help women recognize the dynamics of post-addiction abuse, name the destructive patterns, and begin to heal—no matter where they are in their journey.
Drawing on biblical wisdom and practical tools, this book will help you:
• Recognize coercive control, emotional abuse, and false repentance
• Break free from guilt, shame, and the pressure to “fix” the marriage
• Set healthy, Christ-centered boundaries
• Reclaim your identity as a beloved daughter of God
• Navigate the road to healing with courage and grace
If you’ve been asking, “Why doesn’t sobriety feel like a miracle for us?” you are not alone. This book will meet you with truth, hope, and the gentle reminder that God sees you, loves you, and has not abandoned your story.
“Reading Cherri’s book felt like someone finally saw me. Her words bring clarity, compassion, and hope.”

“A masterclass in how the Church can support survivors of post-addiction abuse.”

Here is Cherri’s most recent book:
When addiction and abuse exist in the same relationship, it can be difficult to know where one ends and the other begins. I
s the addiction causing the anger, manipulation, and control? Will everything change if the addiction stops? Are you helping—or enabling? And what happens when sobriety comes, but the harmful behavior remains?
Addiction and Abuse: Understanding the Intersection Between Addiction and Harmful Relationship Dynamics brings compassionate clarity to this confusing and painful place. Drawing from decades of ministry experience with families affected by addiction, as well as her own personal journey, Cherri Raws Freeman explores the destructive patterns that can accompany addiction and the impact they have on spouses, parents, adult children, siblings, and others who love them.
