In this brief address, Dallas Bragg speaks directly to partners of individuals struggling with addiction. He asserts that partners are not responsible for being the addict’s source of stability or a home anchor, warning that such a role enables the addict and prevents them from integrating their fragmented selves. Bragg challenges the common belief that love means providing a safety net, emphasizing that true love starts with self‑respect. He urges partners to consider how much they love themselves and to set boundaries that protect their own wellbeing rather than inadvertently supporting the addict’s destructive patterns.

If you're a partner of an addict, I want you to listen up. I got this. It is not your responsibility to be the stability and the anchor and the household that your partner can come back to after he goes out partying. You are enabling him. You are allowing him to hold himself back from reconciling all of his personalities. He's one person out there, and he's one person at home, and and you say, but I love him, you're killing him. And really, the question is, how much do you love yourself?
