In this brief monologue, Dallas Bragg addresses family members and loved ones of individuals struggling with crystal meth addiction. He uses the metaphor that addiction is a jail with locks on the inside, emphasizing that addicts typically will not accept help until they are personally ready. Bragg urges supporters to stay connected to the person’s true self beneath the addiction, to practice patience, and to prioritize their own self‑care so they can be emotionally available when the addict decides to seek help.

To all the loved ones, family members of crystal meth addicts, don't forget that addiction is the only kind of jail where the locks are on the inside. For the most part, addicts aren't going to accept help until they're ready themselves to get help. Stay in love with who you know they are underneath. But first and foremost, take care of yourself so that you can be more adequately available for them when they're ready to come back.
