We are a podcast dedicated to sobriety and recovery from alcohol and drugs. (And whatever other addiction that is out there) It doesn't matter what you have been through in the past. We have all done very bad things in our addiction. This does not define who we are. We know there is a way out of addiction. Family and loved ones, you play a part in this as well. There are plenty of stories out there of families and loved ones not knowing what to do with their addicted loved one. Let us guide you on the right things to do and the right decisions to make to ensure that you and your loved one gets the help that you need.

Your loved one isn't just saying these things. They're using them strategically — and most of the time they don't even realize it. Addicts and alcoholics figure out very early which emotional levers to pull to get the people who love them most to back off, bail them out, and keep enabling.
And because it's your child, your spouse, or your closest person, it works every single time. In this episode Tom breaks down the five most common manipulation phrases used by addicts and alcoholics — where they come from, why they work, and exactly what to do when you hear them.
