In this video Amber Hollingsworth explores how an alcohol use disorder can fundamentally alter the dynamics of a romantic partnership. She uses the metaphor of alcohol becoming a "third person" in the relationship, describing how the affected individual increasingly bonds with the substance while their emotional connection to their partner weakens. The discussion outlines the signs of this shifting attachment, the emotional toll on both partners, and the broader implications for relationship health. Amber also touches on the challenges of recognizing this pattern, the importance of open communication, and the steps couples can take toward recovery and rebuilding trust.
